RE: Seeking a Role Play partner. Any server - Candor - 09-23-2015

I gave this one some thought before committing to a post, and I think I've decided that there's nothing wrong with the OP's request. I think most guy RPers here will agree that the long term RP engagements they've had with characters played by women tend to be more satisfying and successful than guy on guy. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why, but that's not the point. The point is that there are players in this very thread who enjoy exactly what the OP is asking for (myself included.) So no need to even hint at vilifying him, I think.

Having said that, I think the real solution here is Balmung. I can't imagine finding any manner of RP, let alone this level of committed RP is easy of Faerie. The abundant RP on Balmung will shore the gap, and the OP may realize he doesn't even need what he described. But if he does, he'll be far more likely to find it.

The specific mention of a female partner (e.g. player) implies OOC intentions, since if you were purely looking for friendship and someone to RP with, the gender identity of the other player shouldn't matter at all (and indeed regardless of said identity the player could play a character of either gender, too).

I'll bite and be the unpopular opinion. Maybe I'm just programmed differently but I feel a remarkable difference between female and male companionship - even when rping. Sometimes I prefer one to the other depending on my mood. When it comes to relationship RP I definitely prefer the opposite gender behind the keyboard.

I appreciate that. Maybe I'll give Balmung another try.

I kinda gave up the idea, but I really enjoyed it so I'm trying to get something going. I guess trying to recreate my past exp is a bad idea anyways. 

What do you recommend for someone new

I'll hang out with you on Balmung. I don't exactly wanna start a new alt but I could help you get RP experience. If it wasn't for people helping me I don't think I would have had what it takes to get into an FC. Big Grin
