Since the first poll I put out received so many comments about not enough answers regarding friendships I had decided to add a few, however I then noticed that once you had answered the poll you could not go back and add a selection. This resulted in my poll being invalid. There have been many relationships that have resulted as a direct influence from meeting here on CM. Others have had nothing good to say from those they have met. I seriously would like to see how many have found CM a positive in their relationships or a negative or even no influence at all. Please limit your selections to the 3 best answers that apply to you specifically.

Ok, my choices were 1 - Successful, happy, loving, longterm or permanent relationship since well, I met Lumus here. 2 - Some decent friendships though I would qualify this as to say they aren't just "decent" but some of the best damn friends a person could have, that have been there for me through thick and thin, having helped me out more than they might ever know. And finally, my 3rd choice was "Was never looking for a loving relationship" since I joined CM for the forums, I wasn't looking for anyone other than maybe some friends on the boards. Love, collaring and marriage were a complete and total unexpected blessing. And I can add that while I was hoping to find friends, I never in my life expected to find such loving, real friends who are willing to travel hundreds, if not thousands of miles to meet up. And stay in contact no matter what. Day - um! I'm a lucky girl! [;)]

My sole motivation for joining CM was to learn more about this lifestyle and along the way I have met many people and formed decent friendships with several. I never expected to met anyone with the purpose of forming a long term intimate relationship with here. That I do offline from participating in meet and greats and attending munches in my area.

hmmmm I will add my reply after two of my friends above.... Like Rain I have a problem with your categories (again). Neither of the friendship categories you have comes close to describing how important and meaningful these friends I have made from CM are. quote: ORIGINAL: RobertCloud I seriously would like to see how many have found CM a positive in their relationships or a negative or even no influence at all. Now asking those three questions would have kept the poll simple and given people the chance to elaborate on their choices in their posts

WyldHrt -> RE: CollarMe Relationships - Good or Bad - Revisited (9/6/2009 1:57:41 AM)
Following Wanders... I chose both "Several good, deep, and loyal friendships" and "some decent friendships", as I have made friends in both categories. As for romantic relationships, there might be something going on with a D from the other side, but too early to fit a category in this poll. [:D]

i didn't come to collarme looking for friendships, since all of mine are involved in the lifestyle or interested. my original reason for being here was the community and to this day i enjoy the boards immensely. since i began in the scene and only found the internet later on, it is likely there is where my partner will be found. though at times i have utilized this as a springboard i have reservations in that regard and waver on occasion. my intolerance for dishonesty and deception don't make this an ideal meeting ground. since my return i've been fortunate to meet a couple of people that i really enjoy talking to. a few friends have joined the site on my suggestion and have had pretty good experiences thus far. for me this is merely one of many options and if something extra comes out of it fine. but i don't have unrealistic expectations either. if i take away knowledge and one friendship when its all said and done. i'd have received far more than i started with. porcelaine

TurboJugend -> RE: CollarMe Relationships - Good or Bad - Revisited (9/6/2009 1:59:15 AM)
I selected the first/top 3. They come closest.......ofcourse there was also drama and shit...but lets forget that...lol. I came here by accident..with no intentions of any kind. But it is a good place to meet interesting people.

Sunnyfey -> RE: CollarMe Relationships - Good or Bad - Revisited (9/6/2009 2:47:30 AM)
I selected the top 4, .........because all are true o.0

WyldHrt -> RE: CollarMe Relationships - Good or Bad - Revisited (9/6/2009 4:49:05 AM)
I think you win the prize, Sunnyfey, LOL

purepleasure -> RE: CollarMe Relationships - Good or Bad - Revisited (9/6/2009 5:05:49 AM)
If it weren't for collarme, I never would have met some of my best friends, a few great playmates, and so many other acquaintances, most good, and very few unpleasant. so, to the Owner(s) of collarme and collarchat.... THANK YOU!!! !!

petmonkey -> RE: CollarMe Relationships - Good or Bad - Revisited (9/6/2009 5:22:07 AM)
i have two answers listed. "my loving relationship began elsewhere" and "no friendships as of yet"--a couple of friendly email buddies, but i'd call 'em acquaintances; not friends.

tammystarm -> RE: CollarMe Relationships - Good or Bad - Revisited (9/6/2009 5:54:23 AM)
collarme has been a great experience! ive met so many wonderfully delightful people and potty too! Its been my rock when ive needed it. As far as relationships go, hell there is 2/3 divorce rate in this country, how can collarme be any different. In fact with all our kinks etc.... its even harder. So id say collarme has been the best so far out of all the other sites. Like everything it take time , ups and downs....etc... to the OP i wish you the best of luck here. Dont give up , ya never know. Besides picking up a stranger at a bar is well too out of dae. wishing all the one they are looking for! hugs ~t~

califsue -> RE: CollarMe Relationships - Good or Bad - Revisited (9/6/2009 11:21:02 AM)
I have made acquaintances who I correspond with and some play partners. My primary relationship I met elsewhere. I joined CM just to read and learn about others experiences.

quote: ORIGINAL: tammystarmto the OP i wish you the best of luck here. Dont give up , ya never know. Thank you so very much, however, the reason I started this was not to try to see if there were positives because I was still looking but to see how many people have had similar and as rewarding experiences as I have. I have had some good friendships and some horrible nightmares from relationships here. However I have also found my angel here, well she found me. We have a truly unconditional love and our relationship is a true combination of the lifestyle as well as love and romance. We are engaged and I am looking forward to a full and great life with her.

quote: ORIGINAL: wandersalone Like Rain I have a problem with your categories (again). Neither of the friendship categories you have comes close to describing how important and meaningful these friends I have made from CM are. Well, as I said I cannot please everyone. I felt that the 2nd choice was strong enough. I could have added "my best friend/s" but I felt that that and the 2nd choice would be redundant for they are basically the same, though the 2nd option is more encompassing. I would have chosen option 2 and then added in my comment that #2 only began to describe my friendships for they are the best and deepest I have ever found. To me that would have fixed the problem from the respondants viewpoint. For as the OP I cannot add every single classification that people suggest or the list would become too cumbersome. In my view the options supply a sufficient quantity of choices.
