One more thing to add in..
I think the people who are looking for very specific types of RP may have a much harder time. In past RP experiences in another game, there were people who were looking for a lot more than just normal, organic RP interactions. Players were already shopping for a romantic or sexual relationship for their character from the time it spawned in game. And I've seen similar things here, as Virella just pointed out, with the tags who shun anyone who doesn't fit in their carnal search for purely ERP.
If someone is actually looking for RP, and aren't JUST looking for their match.com...match, it shouldn't matter what sexuality a character is or what gender they are. If a heterosexual female character is ONLY trying to RP with heterosexual male characters because they want romantic RP that badly, you just cut your potential RP list way down, and really only have yourself to blame. Again, not stating anyone in this thread does this, but it's really common.
Being open to any RP when you're new in a community is super important. Networking is key.
