FM is fine. It is not much, but I still consider it a real title - it could be called n00b master. On the other hand, NM and CM should not be considered real titles. The requirements you have to fulfill to get NM differ from country to country. In some countries you have to become national champion to get it, in others (for example US) you just need to know how to move pieces.
So, you dont know how to move the pieces?

Why are people saying CM title is a joke? Should I not claim it once I get to 2200 FIDE? Should I wait until I get to 2300 FIDE to get the FM title?

Yeah mate. I waited 7 years to claim it and only claimed it in the end to get the diamond membership here. Blast through to FM and retain some dignity

Do you think I will be able to get laid in Russia if I say I am just a FM? Should I get the IM title before trying to marry with a matryoshka?

When Dzinzdzi was asked what is the difference between a GM and an IM, he responded:
No GM wants to be an IM.

Riiiight, so you just woke up this morning and thought "I'll have a go at trolling today!"? That's fine, but you should realise that to be a top level troll you have to put in many, many hours of hard work. And even then, without a certain amount of natural ability, you may never be really good. If you want to walk this path, it's probably best to start with the classics - dig out some old forum topics by say Macer and Vlad and analyse those. Try to understand what each topic was trying to achieve in general terms, and then try to understand why they wrote each new post as the thread developed.
Who's Vlad?

By the way, I think we should teach this guy how to troll properly. One does not create a troll thread just to apologize in the first page.
