ORIGINAL: HarryVanWinkle My recommendation: Join Fetlife.com Use it to find your local, real life BDSM community. Go to their events and meet real people (not to imply that folks on these forums are erzatz people) face to face. Make friends. Find play partners. Have fun. It beats the hell out of sending email after email to "fakes." Like everything, there are pros and cons to every approach. A lot of people here will say get thee to a munch. Now, personally I find munches boring. I am a very social person, but I don't personally find that a shared interest in BDSM is going to mean I will find the people at a munch any more interesting than any random group of strangers. I would much rather go to a book club. Even a large munch is a fairly small universe of people, so if you're only purpose for going is to meet a potential partner, your have to realize your chances of success are fairly small. At least with online, you can reach a large number of people quickly. If you go to a munch, there might be only one or no people who even interest you. It's worth checking out, because you might feel differently. But the notion that going to events is the end-all, be-all isn't true either. There is no best way to meet a potential partner. And all the ways take time and effort, and the process isn't necessarily fun.
