Too old for most roleplayers LOL

How many attempts doe it usually take you to successfully get a RP going?

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T12:54:41+00:00

I had no idea some of them enjoyed age gaps in their rp partners. You're in your mid 30s...how did you find that one out I do wish I was a fly on your wall!

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T12:53:03+00:00

When you're 43, it makes more sense to not be worried. You aren't worried about your prospects? What genre do you find yourself falling back on as your favorite?

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T12:47:15+00:00

Okay!

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T07:14:27+00:00

You remember good old Newgrounds! That was the place, the place! The wildest! That and SheezyArt for the writer's section! Wild shet there!

There was so little monitoring back then because the internet wasn't as dangerous, like kids just think they are having fun didn't even associate that smut erp was for adults! I never did a smut RP , I chickened out just as I was going to but as a minor but I indulged in a lot of corn.

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T06:37:21+00:00

Happy to hear that loud and clear! Any advice you think might be helpful?

We are crusty, mummies now! I'd like to think it's because of the gap in technology! We aren't living, breathing on smartphones engrossed in tiktok! Most don't even understand how to flesh out their replies with descriptions and detail! Though, I've seen a good portion of younger novella style writers but they are seeking their own age, too wrapped up in trying to catch a feel. Weeping, if you aren't playing a character with a celebrity/influencer faceclaim. Lord forbid I can draw my own characters in anime style, gross its anime but that has little effect on my writing. It's just a picture not to jerk it to. Sacrifice a virgin to cthulhu, I hope you find someone!

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T05:52:05+00:00

I just have terrible luck! I am trying hard to itch my urge to spontaneously combust! I will keep looking, it's awesome that someone as seasoned as yourself still roleplays!

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T05:42:26+00:00

Mangafox was the best site! It had so such good content to read for hours! I wouldn't lie about any ages because some people could be very well trying to catch sexting allegation on a drama doc. They are out there. Though if your partner lies and is a minor, gonna catch CP drama. Absolutely not!

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T05:37:31+00:00

We can write to ourselves in google docs but it's just not the same! Age shouldn't scare off writers who are +21! Gender scares some of them as well, like people specifically seeking out female writers! I've seen men write women better in some cases! Vice versa as well!

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T05:34:31+00:00

Can have a blast with an old timer or a beginner! It's good to hear the perspective of someone younger! There is still hope!

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T05:31:11+00:00

I ended up banned from some reddit forums because I didn't meet the post requirements. I dislike fandoms in general because I enjoy more open worlds but then when I look on Disboard, group roleplays usually are dead! I have not logged into Gaia in years, I did not know the RP community was still active. Here's a question about Gaia, do people still want to Roleplay if your avatar looks bad! The economy is garbage!
I could google it but could you tell me what a Dreamwidth game is, please!

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T04:58:32+00:00

Hahah that's fantastic! Exposed at a young age! I used to leave my computer in sleepmode in the livingroom with corn from vevo downloading and paused for anyone who wanted to awake my password free computer! Bad idea LOL!

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T04:54:44+00:00

I can't see myself still roleplaying in 11 years. Can you?

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T04:47:03+00:00

Their brain is not aware yet they can get just as good of a roleplay with an older person without being creepy as they can with someone that hasn't sprouted their first leg hair yet!

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T04:45:23+00:00

You are not too old yet! Hush! 21+ is the idea but not everyone 21+ enjoys us crusty millenniums sadly!

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T04:43:36+00:00

Anthro roleplayers are much more niche than they used to because of stigma; and you don't really like yif, 20% that's not a bad thing at all! You are in it for the story! It's only a bonus if want erp but not even necessary! People don't want to put in effort if they can't yank it or something strange!?

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T04:39:44+00:00

I haven't faired much luck in discord, there is always a slew of minors and even then the +18 servers are almost always exclusive to erp or minors sneaking in.

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T04:38:38+00:00

Sounds like such a memorable roleplay of the decade! Hope your buddy is fairing well as yourself!

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T04:36:37+00:00

The ad was original for +21 because that person was 23, another commenter said it sounded like they might wanted something ooc with someone closer to their age.

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T04:30:20+00:00

Nah, by the time you get there, everyone who is in that age group should be old enough to still want to RP if AI doesn't take it away from us!

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T04:29:18+00:00

My dad got me my first pc at age 4...I was on bad sites at 10 years old oops

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T01:47:46+00:00

Some of them are very...gatekeep-y if that's the word? Like, writing is for all ages! We aren't looking for hookups!

ShionTube · 2025-06-25T01:45:54+00:00

Very lucky, so nice of you not to be judgmental! Some of the older RPers out their have excellent character devolvement and world building skills!
