"What is the average Chess.com rating where players tend to reach master level?"
++ For 2200 FIDE = CM you need at least 2300 rapid online
"online and over-the-board (OTB) chess completely separate entities?"
++ Yes. There is more psychology over the board: you can see your opponent, how he looks, moves, sweats, ... Over the board classical say 90|30 is also different from online rapid 15|10 or even faster: it requires stamina to stay concentrated for hours and cheap tricks do not work.
Atleast 2400 online blitz and rapid for normal NM and 2600 for a very strong NM.

Sounds about right, although it's still confusing to me, having friends 200 points below me online reaching 1900 OTB. Maybe I'm just awful at visualization, or something else that's holding me back during over the board games..
Most Titled Players play otb seriously but they play in chess.com for fun so its completely different .If you beat them in chess.com where they play for fun .its not confirmed yu can win the same person in otb where they play seriously
Don't think in that way. There's a lot of factors which decide how they play both online and OTB. Experience is the most important factor in OTB. If you keep on playing events, your rating will eventually go up until you hit the wall. Getting from 2000 to 2200 will become the hardest challenge. Apparently what you can try is you can try to find easy norm tournaments over Europe, travel there and play those events. They are a great source to gain rating points.

2400+ at blitz looks like a good measure for low titles like CM or some weak NM titles like in US.
Rapid rating doesn't look like a good measure because titled players usually don't play rapid online. You know why, right?

Yeah, good point
probably like 2600 to get FIDE ig
I'd say around 2600 blitz is a safe "probably titled" level. Below that, it starts to get more unreliable ...
I've been playing chess on and off for 5-6 years. Recently, I broke 2200 in rapid, but I find myself stuck at 1800 FIDE with NM nowhere in sight. I'm not surprised, but it's still a little depressing considering how distant a title seems. I'm doubting whether I'll reach it even if I play the rest of my life (currently 21).
What is the average Chess.com rating where players tend to reach master level? Or, are online and over-the-board (OTB) chess completely separate entities?
