Roleplayers with flaws.
Here's where you could discuss the flaws in how you roleplay.

My flaws are that I don't really use much emotion, and I tend to go for swifter responses, at times. There's that, and I seem to be the exact opposite of what anyone's looking for, in a roleplay; especially according to my results over 2+ years of roleplaying.

I think I'm cursed. Almost 95% of the people I've started a scenario with have randomly fallen into the void and never returned, likely due to the things I've stated below.

As for my flaws:

- I have a very busy schedule, which can conflict with the flow of a roleplay. I also often lose my interest in writing, but I ensure that I complete it from start to finish.

- I roleplay more for the enjoyment of writing than sexual gratification. A majority seek the latter so that can create conflicts since I like to not rush things.

- May be a flaw or not. I almost always require adequate preliminary events before getting to anything sexual. A lot of people do not have the patience for this. I have disdain for sex with no context, since no tone, atmosphere, or setting exists. This might be why so many ghost me. They want to satisfy a sexual craving as soon as possible and don't want to go through these things; it's understandable but quite rude.

-I have a tendency to be "too" detailed (if that's even a thing). It can make people feel pressured to meet the same amount of words, despite myself stating that I'm not strict with that. I often have to omit details that I'd like to include because I feel that they wouldn't want to read such a lengthy response; however, including some extra details is crucial at times to set future actions up.

- It can be difficult to find adequate vocabulary to avoid repetition when the sexual parts of the story are lengthy, especially when the same position is used multiple times or the character I'm playing as limits my possible actions.

- Sometimes not enough context is provided to write a lengthy reply. I'm not one for verbosity. I like when details are relevant so it leaves a bad taste to artificially inflate the writing.

- Some RP requests can be really vague or ambiguous. I have no idea how to approach the person. The ones that are specific are my preference anyway.

- I lack vulgarity, despite the nature of this site. My elegant personality can be inappropriate and conflict with my writing.

I happen to be on the other side of most of this; I lack vulgarity in some areas (unless my character is forced to use such), but I usually don't write very long responses; perhaps I need to get more into the writing portion of things, considering some people are popping up asking for more descriptive stuff, I've noticed.

Regardless, I also happen to prefer using my own characters, and ones who have little sexual appeal to most audiences:
Not very thick, typically furry, small genitalia, etcetera.

Ironically I'm fond of all those traits.

My personality conflict is especially apparent in scenarios involving rape and dark motifs. Despite it being a fictional scenario, sometimes my sweet personality can bug me and make me be a bit more alleviating, which is the last thing anyone wants in a story that includes those things. If a story is well-written I may connect emotionally with it and that could affect my writing. I read quite often so it's a habit I have; however, I have been improving on it slowly.

One of my worst flaws is that I haven't read a book in a year or more, and even then, I didn't like that book; I just can't find anything I'm all that interested in, but I can sit here on a porn site, complaining about issues barely anybody seems to have.

Myself personally, I don't think a lot of these are flaws in the slightest. Based on personal experience, I do think that explaining every little detail is a bit of a bad habit that's hard to break. 99% of the time, your reader is going to be able to assume the nitty gritty details without it being spoon fed to them exactly what's happening.

The problems with not having enough context comes from the fact that there are two completely different spectrums for what roleplaying actually is, especially on here. There's a mix of people that want something more straightforward and to the point, which is not a bad thing by any means, and people who want something more long term.

While, story oriented rps are certainly few and far between and harder to find, it's all about finding someone that matches your writing preferences/style.

As for my faults, consistency is my greatest flaw. Not because I lose interest in the rp itself, but because real life obligations come up and pull me away from being able to reply in a consistent fashion. Sometimes for a month at a time. By the time I come back, my partner has usually lost interest or moved on.

Most of these apply to me just as much. Even if I don't really see it as a flaw, since from my experience with r34 rps, since people like you and me who do prefer to put detail and write more stylized replies, for the most part, aren't really made to be here.

Sure, we can find partners too (and especially me, since I'm also able to work with people who write little, even if it's not as exciting as a very well-detailed rp, at least to me), but as you said, they're scarce.

One of my largest flaws is probably my strange ability to become envious about things I probably shouldn't even care about.

I guess one of my flaws is being a bit too....abusive? I find charater's with horrible backstorys to be the most interseting to work with so i tend to make my charater's based off of that. Also i tend to mess up some words or sentences. Proably my biggest flaw is my writing. Sometimes i would write just one word responces while other times i make responces about 100 words long. I guess people get overwhelmed by this. I also tend to get hated for the way I rp as I dont follow the normal....which I find kindof rude as it just shows I have my own way of rping and they should just try it

It's a shame a lot of roleplayers are selfish and idealistic, especially when it comes to sexual gratification. Roleplaying requires a healthy contribution and balance between everyone involved. Lack of consideration for your partner's interests and needs is already a red flag. Inflexibility leads to poor writing and also undesirable scenarios. Anyone outside the user's perfect utopia is forced to conform to the user's desires with zero consideration for the person's enjoyment.

This. So much this. I love to refer to roleplaying as a dance.

It needs two people to function.

That's why you set the rules before you start.

My flaws? Hmmm, I don't use Discord, so that cuts down on a lot of people and I don't have a set character like a lot of people here. I'm a decent writer and can write descriptively, but I only write about as much as my partner. I guess my biggest flaws are my kinks themselves since they don't match most RPers on this site.

Often times, I write around the same amount as my partner, as well; if not a tad more or less, that is. It gets a bit hard to be descriptive when things drag out for long enough.
