On the other hand, some of those who desperately lace each word with sugar or just generally claim to be approachable have turned out to be the most manipulative and nasty individuals that I've ever encountered.

I've had to go begging way too many times to think that there is literally no other person willing to do specific, small-appeal types of rp.
