One theory with collarme is that you get what you pay for. The Sunday New York Times costs $6.00 and the Baltimore Sunday SUN costs $2.00. One paper has the NYT magazine, a dedicated section of book reviews, investigative reporting, and large sections devoted to business, the arts, and international news. Additionally its columnists and contributors are arguably the best in the field. The other paper is littered with advertising, has a provincial editorial staff, and overall lacks stimulating content. ---- All that said, speaking as a malesub, I would not look for a partner on CM. My expectations for finding someone here would be very low. The thought of being the 28th writer sending a note into a potential partner's inbox are not odds I could get excited about. Fuck, the last seven PMs I've sent to other CM posters have all been read by the recipients, but only garnered one response. As I see it, out in the real world, one has a better chance of making an impression and avoiding the crowd of men that bulk email the women here. P.S. I: I did have better experiences here a few years ago, i.e. making connections and friends, but I would not say I am disappointed in CM. It is what it is. P.S. II: I created a femsub profile here not long ago to conduct a posting experiment. I wanted to see how a femsub would be treated on the Ask a Master section in comparison to how a malesub had been treated in the Ask a Mistress Section. In the case study the malesub asked a basic question and a lot of derision followed. So, I copied the the essence of the question and changed the subject matter to a "femsub thing" to see how the replies might differ in the ASK a Master section. It was very interesting. The most unexpected development, though, was how in just creating the female profile what happened. After registering the profile, but before I could add any profile content (an introduction, interests, etc.) I got about 10 emails in the inbox soliciting my attention. I also had two admirers, too. This is about 2 minutes after profile activation. I never read any of the emails. I haven't logged back into the account in about three weeks, either, b/c I'm afraid to. Its just too damn depressing. The experience creeped me out, but it did help me better understand the gender posting differences I see here on the CMMB. Men seem to complain about fake profiles and pros, women complain about how hordes of men solicit them with less than honest and often inappropriate overtures.
