I would actually like to raise a point about that though. Most RPers on average, are extremely young, mostly in their mid-late teens. Possibly early adulthood, which is 19-23 years old.
And im sorry ahead of time if this next part is biased but its truth not only on the internet but in real life as well.
Most people who RP in the majority are people who have withdrawn from society and have become NEET's. (correct me if I spelled that wrong) A NEET is a term in Japan that is used to refer to someone who has withdrawn from almost all if any social interaction and have taken up effective residence on the internet and NEET's can also likely to be big time Otaku's of some sort or another and NEET's are the people who most common group of Role Players out of all the others. I personally am a NEET myself , since I dont really talk to anyone IRL save for my family and like two other friends and many of my sisters friends, whom are all women I hold healthy platonic relationships with.
I think the general idea is that if an aggressive romance RPer can realize the difference between IC and OOC interactions and just changes the way they think of feel about something and get a grip on their emotional urges OOC then they can get over the lack of a relationship IRL and drastically improve their ability as a whole, but most tend to learn this the hard way like I did, though I wasnt an aggressive romance RPer. I was a powerplayer. xD
Really, its just being more honest to one's self. The more you can distinguish between youre feelings OOC and the characters feelings IC then the more drastically all RP interaction can improve.
