ok, first our profile is quite descriptive and we still only get about a 2 or 3 percent reply rate. and from many who in their own profile state the lack of real people or gamers on the site. now, to my main rant, whats with all these people clogging up the site with profiles that say "Im not looking for anything" or "My master is so great......" if you arent looking for anything then at least go invisable, and I personally really dont care how great your master is and for those of us who are still seeking these people only make the job harder than it need be.

Frankly TOUGH , life is rarely fair. Come on it isn't really a damn hardship, most put it right at the top of the profile, it takes you maybe a second to spot. If that makes you feel hard done by then you seriously need to get a life!

If you where complaining about them simply not changing their settings from activly seeking Dom male (Or whatever) to activly seeking just friends.... then I'd be agreeing with you. However turning off the profile? Not going to happen, If I see someone interesting on the boards then I often glance at the profile to see if I can get a better idea of who they are.... and mine stays UP for those of like mind who do so with myself.

what i find inappropriate is how newcomers are treated when coming onto this site. rather than tell them about the new release the cm staff has in mind for us and ease someones frustration they would rather show the newcomers their maturity, warmth, and understanding as seen in the post below.

When I first came onto the site, I read all the Mod's posts first. I knew what was expected, what was available to me, what was on the horizon and what could get me tossed out on my keester. I haven't been here very long.. how come I wasn't chased away? In fact, I think I've been treated quite fairly here with warmth, understanding and maturity. So why do you suppose I was treated so differently from the same group of folks who have chased away the 'new comers' in this thread? What do you think the difference is? I'm quite curious to see your answers.

Yeah, your possibly right R1. If the truth be known I'm probably getting cantankerous and short on patience with posters like the OP.. Perhaps I need to walk away from the forums for a day, a week, a month, a year who knows possibly even permanantly... May just think about it for a couple of days.. I know as sure as it's going to be daylight in four hours, I'm missing the mark with too many posts.. I should spend more time on my sites in World Groups.....

Not that I was overly enamoured of the tone of the OP....but I did have to stop to remind myself of how things "used to be" for me, and how I might have sounded to other people. There was a time when I didn't have a Master to brag about...and sometimes it seemed everyone was paired up but me. It was hard to listen to people talk about their perfect weekend, their beautiful marks, their new toy, when I knew I couldn't have any of that. Jealous? You Bet! I wanted so badly what other people had. I'm sure I did my share of whining and feeling sorry for myself. That period of " searching" can be so draining emotionally. Neediness often makes people behave in a way that might not show them in their best light. It's hard to be lighthearted and fun when you're so frustrated. I'd compare it in a way to the deameanor of someone who is ill or in pain- they aren't always the most pleasant of folks to be around. Of course, how you view your situation makes a big difference in your success in handling pain, disappointment, or even the search for a perfect partner. I finally figured that I was just going to quit " trying" so hard and just enjoy the people I'd met. To my surprise, when I just relaxed and let down my guard, Master was there! So, If I brag a little..it's because I paid my dues, so to speak, and because Master is perfect ( at least for me!)..I hope the OP finds what they are looking for, but if not, they might want to follow some of the wonderful advice others here have already made. Let yourself be known for simply who you are and maybe the perfect person will fall right over your lap!

couplseekn I agree with you so many claiming they are not looking are clogging things up. It gets really old and those who are doing it are driving away real people because they are tire of the BS. I know for I attend allot munches and people will talk about issue’s they are having with some of these sites. We need to talk about this for what will happen people will stop coming here for word as gotten out it is not worth your effort and I think this site has great potentials. We are not dicating who should be here we are saying we need to have people here who are seriously looking and not playing games. Yes life is un fair but in life people get tire of those who like to play games.

Are you going to tell us that this sort of post is acceptable and isn't thoughtless and rude???? So many here are tired of similar posts comming through that they unsheath the cutting edge of their tongues... CERCKL is one of the least offensive posters here and usually gives people a fair shot.... I'm suprised that you didn't target my ditty as your example.. At least I'm up front aboit being totaly evil and a prick....

yeh it is acceptable. this is a forum after all. like it or not she does have a legitimate bitch regardless of how she presented it. i think cm recognized this as they have added a hide feature that viewers can hide the people they do nor want to see in their new version of this site. i wonder whats holding that new release up it had some very nice features. when its finally released that will most likely end these kinds of posts.

what i find inappropriate is how newcomers are treated when coming onto this site. rather than tell them about the new release the cm staff has in mind for us and ease someones frustration they would rather show the newcomers their maturity, warmth, and understanding as seen in the post below.

I completely understand what you are saying. Seriously, what in the hell are these people thinking?!?!?!?

Here you are on this kinky meat market dating hook up site and all these people seem to want to do is show off how they have what you want! How dare they flaunt their happiness in your face like that!!! There's limited bandwith here that you are paying good money for and they are just wasting it!!! Not to mention the amount of your valuable time that's being wasted having to read profile after profile of happy blissful people living a life that you only dream of.

Oh, wait, it's a free site, and...it's a community not a single's bar...

nevermind.

Yeah, your possibly right R1. If the truth be known I'm probably getting cantankerous and short on patience with posters like the OP..

No way Iron Bear. If this was a gathering place like a bar or something, and some new people walked in the door and immediately started being rude telling 90% of the regulars they must get out. I think the new folks would promptly find themselves tossed on their ear in the gutter and RIGHTFULLY SO! That's all you and MissTress are doing, your the ones in the right. I couldn't disagree with RealOne more on this one. Stay true.
