Looking to Sign Up for a BDSM Personals Website

So I've decided that I need to take some action if I am to carry out my New Year's resolution and locate a truly worthy Dominant man.  I have considered a way to do this discreetly while also getting serious about my quest.  I am considering doing an online profile on a adult personals website in order to begin my search.

I am really a 'hands-on' person.  By that, I mean I like to find, in my own sphere of influence and contacts, my dates.  I am not really too excited, to be honest, about searching for an online date - especially a BDSM date! LOL  It's scary.  I've perused Craigslist.  I've looked at a free website called CollarMe.  There isn't a lot there that attracts me.  It seems dark, scary and perhaps a bit too dangerous for me.

There is also FetLife.  I signed up for a free membership there some time back but canceled it because it seemed there were a lot of creeps on there.   I may re-try this one again but for now, I am going to leave that one dormant.

Recently, I checked out ALT.com.  It looks a lot like another website I was on some time back, Adultfriendfinder.  In fact, it may be run by the same company.  I like the look of the profiles on there.  It appeals to a bit 'broader' area than simply BDSM (bondage, kink and fetish) but I like to format. So, I've decided to give it a try.

I have already received a lot of replies...and I've not even filled out my description much yet.  I guess perhaps a lot of people just find the profile from a local area search, look at the photos I've posted and decide to take a chance.  I've not responded to many yet.  To be honest, my responses haven't been much more than a couple sentence response.  I feel a little bad about that because some of them have really poured some effort into their messages to me.  I am going to spend a bit more time looking around on Alt.com.

So tell me, dear readers of this blog...what websites do you recommend I try?  I'd also be curious to know what area of the country you are in (your exact location not necessary LOL).  It seems like ALT has quite a number of Doms in my area so that's encouraging.  But what I guess I am asking is...are there some sites that are better for some areas of the country?
