I am here primarily to make friends, particularly those with whom I can discuss and exchange ideas. The right friendship could evolve into something more.
I am an intellectual introvert. I like people but tend to be rather reserved around those I don't know. I prefer discussions of politics or philosophy to those of sports or celebrity gossip.
A sense of humor is very important. I do not believe that life should be taken too seriously. Even the darkest moments often have humorous undertones.
I appreciate the , particularly food. I am a foodie who understands that good food is not necessarily found in fine or fancy restaurants. One of my passions is trying new dining establishments in hopes of discovering the ideal, yet elusive, mix of excellent food and comfortable atmosphere.
I have recently started collecting Inuit art. I find myself drawn to the traditional imagery and relative non-commercial aspect of the work. My collection is not large nor does it contain any notable pieces but it gives me pleasure.
Within the context of D/s the people who generally interest me are the ones who understand and appreciate the psychological aspects of the lifestyle. Kink is a lot of fun but it is decidedly secondary to the relationship.
Generally I see myself as paternalistic in my relationships. It is very fulfilling to help a woman discover who she is and how she fits into this world.
Courtesy and respect are very important to me. I believe everyone deserves both unless they demonstrate otherwise. |

The number of profiles created with fake pictures on this site never fails to astound me. There's nothing wrong with posting photos of things you're interested in, assuming its obvious you're not trying to present them as photos of you. It's just ridiculous to post photos of a well known porn star and hope people believe its actually you.
On the bright side, most of the people who do that are just here to play games, so it makes weeding the fakes out much easier.
There's a very useful website I've found for checking out questionable images. It allows you to upload an image or the URL of an image and it will look for other places the images appears on the net. It's relatively new and isn't fool proof by any means but it is a good place to start. http://www.tineye.com
I understand that not everyone is proud of their body or is comfortable showing it off, particularly on a site like this. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not posting pictures or posting ones that are tastefully modest. I must admit I often enjoy perving the pics I see on profiles here, but I've never been tempted to contact someone because of a picture. I find the written word far more revealing about a person's character and interests than even the most candid of photos.
It would be nice if CM had a better way to report inappropriate or fake images.

While I generally believe the virtual ubiquity of the Internet is a good thing with many current and potential benefits to society, there is a negative side to it as well. When I first started using the net in 1994 the communities of people where much smaller but it was also much easier to find people with shared interests and, at least in my experience, most people were reasonably honest. There were trolls who would occasionally invade the community but it was easy to recognize and ignore them. I don't think I encountered a "professional" scammer until around 2000.
One would think that with so many more people online, it would be much easier to find others with whom was in compatible but that doesn't seem to be the case. Reading other journals it seems that most of them decry the difficulty the poster has in finding someone serious. My own "research supports this dire prognosis. The number of people on CollarMe, and similar community sites, that are just playing games, or worse trying to make a fast buck, is equal to if not greater than the number of people who are here for legitimate reasons.
Tune in next time when I tell you young whippersnappers about the price of bread back in the day.

After reading the profiles of several subs/slaves, I am forced to reconsider my desire to be a "master". If the profiles here are any indication, that vocation has a shockingly high mortality rate.
Obviously death is a part of life, but it is very suspicious when several young model-beautiful women all mention death in their profiles. This tragedy needs to be investigated!

I am appalled by the behavior of many of the visitors to the video chatroom here. While there are people who use it to have mature conversations or to simply banter with friends, they are decidedly in the minority. I think the community could benefit from a brief guide on how NOT to behave in a chatroom.
I realize, of course, the people this applies to are exceedingly unlikely to ever read this, but it will be cathartic to write it.
1. Most people join the chat room to have conversations with groups of people and do NOT want to chat privately. Don't ask until you know them well.
2. Do not send unnecessary whisper messages. That is akin to being at a party and repeatedly whispering in someone else's ear. If you're part of the group, talk in the group.
3. I appreciate a nice set of boobs as much as the next guy, but stop harassing the women in chat to get naked. Just because their profile says they are submissive, you shouldn't assume they are submissive to you. Many women do get naked or flash the room, but asking repeatedly is annoying and generally deters them from showing anything.
4. Most people in chat have profiles. Some of people actually put a lot of work into their profile. Read them prior to asking questions.
5. It is very bad form to ask someone if they want to chat on Yahoo or MSN right of the bat. They're already in a chatroom, why would they want to some other venue? In my experience people suggesting such a change in location usually have a nefarious intent.
6. Just because you are playing some sort of fantasy game, do not assume that everybody is. Many people are "for real" and actually practice their interests. There is nothing wrong with having fantasies but be respectful.
We are all adults here. Lets try to act like it.
