Generally speaking, 2200 FIDE is a little stronger than 2200 USCF.
What are the requirements to become a CM?

What is the use of having CM title with a low rating, there respect gaining it by beat strong players and being rated 2200 fide. If I was a junior will I reject the title and I was 1980 fide, I played a IM rated 2050 fide I give him no respect, I beat him one and he beat me, if it was a real IM strength I lose both games.
In womens chess I see WCM's rated 1400
Women are almost always low rated. WGMs are around 2400ish
Today I played a 957 rated wcm! Very confusing...

Seriously?
Man I remember I was so close to winning the north american youth tourney one or 2 years ago. That last game decided it all and I lost to the highest rated player in the tourney (2250 or something)

That must have been hurt.
But even so, you have quite a high chess rating yourself. I don't know how many years it would take me to reach 1900 .

Judit Polgar's peak rating was 2735. 2700 is a lot more than 2400. She is an extremely strong player, and so are all other WGMs.

Judit Polgar happens to be the best female chess player. You can't compare all female chess players to her.
I have played professional chess for around 2 years, and I still don't understand the requirements for becoming a CM. In one of the tournaments I saw a CM with 1900 rating, In another one I saw a CM with rating around 1380. This was confusing and I haven't been able to ascertain the elo rating required to qualify as a CM.

Women normally aren't into competitive chess. Chess just isn't a priority for most women, it is more of a habit sort of thing.

Unfortunately it is very hard to make a living out of chess unless you are a top player. But to become a CM I think you gotta play in competitive FIDE tournament.

In general, you have to reach 2200 FIDE in regular rated OTB play. There are some events where scoring high enough will grant the title, regardless of rating. The FIDE site has a table of events that award direct titles, though most of those are things like the Olympiad or Continental championships.

but this girl has a USCF of 1336 and is a CM
Her kid or family member probably plays on that account.

I have been trying to find out how people become CMs (Candidate Masters), and I couldn't find the requirements anywhere.
Yeah, it's really hard.
I heard you can use this technology called "gooble" or "google" or something, but that's probably a myth.
In reality I don't think anyone knows how to be a CM.

That is against the site's terms and conditions.
