Well I am using an anonymous account, because I don't like ranting as myself. I hope to keep this pretty short, because I don't have much to say, in all honesty.
I started roleplaying in 2006, it's been about 11 years since I first started. My first site was Fanfiction.Net. I roleplayed on Quizilla slightly after.
It's taken me a long time to say this, but I am emotionally bothered, by something I otherwise understand intellectually. Which is I'm a guy roleplayer, and no one wants to RP with me...like ever. One time I pretended to be a girl, set up an email, jotted down details about "her life" in case anyone asked me personal stuff, and in one day I got 11, ELEVEN people who wanted to RP with me.
Anytime I've made a post as my true gender, I might once in a blue moon, get 1 person interested, but more often than not they go stale. And what really amazes me is that whenever I message people, and let them know I'm a boy they have no issue with it. It's like; "Oh yeah that's cool that you're a guy, I don't care." ...and yet my RP list that was easily accessible to you, over the last few months with series that I know you were craving was left unanswered because? I mean if you don't care that I'm a boy, then why did I have to message you?
Now here's the thing on an intellectual level I get it. After I pretended to be a girl for a bit, I understand that a lot of guys are not great roleplayers. So many other guys would contact me, and well some of the issues were;
1. Over the top sex fantasies, like everything would be porn, with some of the guys who contacted me. And don't get me wrong I've met girls who like a lot of smut, but most girls who are into smut keep it in the RP like I do. Guys I've met who are super into smut, would make lewd comments at me directly. More than one guy who I interacted with as my "girl" self would make comments about me personally.
2. They were really whiny about their personal lives. I like being a shoulder for people to lean on, but some guy RP'rs I met just all the time, talked about how their life sucked, in a really weird, pity party.
3. Some guys I had trouble with, because they were way too "logical" everything had to make some kind of scientific sense for them, which ruined the fun of some RP's
4. Every Ad says I DOUBLE. Any girl I've ever roleplayed with respects that, because they double too...usually. Most guys who contact me, expect me to play someone for them, and yet not get anything for me.
So on an intellectual level, I really do get it. After meeting a lot of guys like that.
It's just on an emotional level, it really hurts me.
I'm sorry to rant like that at all of you, but I needed to get that out. Thanks for listening.
