I feel like I am being a bit rude by messaging someone who does not specifiy their age and say something along the lines "I am in my twenties, so I feel uncomfortable roleplaying with peple younger than me".
I do believe that intially I didn't express myself clearly. I was speaking specifically when I am the one messaging someone who does not explicit their age. I feel like I am being a bit rude by messaging someone who does not specifiy their age and say something along the lines "I am in my twenties, so I feel uncomfortable roleplaying with peple younger than me". Even ore awkward is when this happens after starting plotting up things more deeply, as mentioned before.
And as also mentioned, I believe that expliciting an age gap, especially if someone does not feel comfortable with revealing their age, might be more comfortable to most part of the users.
I always try my best to present myself initially, but that isn't easy always, so I'd love to know about your own experiences when it comes to that.
Thank you so much, I always try to be as polite as possible, just like you exemplified right there!
I guess this ort of became a "How to be a decent human being when roleplaying 101" hahah Have it happened anything similar to you in the past, where you've felt that small discomfort when it comes to that age related feeling?
Hello there.
I find it a bit hard to ask people what their age is, without sounding a creep or an entitled baboon. Sometimes I stumble upon a nice roleplay, I try to check that user's profile. Sometimes there is no information about them, but I message them anyway, because of the story.
And then, as we discuss roleplay details, that awkwardness starts building up, that uncomfortable feeling of not knowing if the person you're talking to is a child. Asking that question out of nowhere is definitely creepy, or it can also be seen as arrogant, especially if it was me who messaged them first.
So, how do you overpass that awkwardness? In my case, I try to ask as politely as I can. And I often don't require people to give me a precise age, I nornally ask them for their age gap. Even though, even posting about this, can only make me cringe and feel rather uncomfortable. But it is a matter of comfort, respect and correctness, I believe.

I just put "Looking for writers 18 and older ONLY." It's not entitled at all. It's a matter of personal comfort. The RPers above the age of 18 will most likely understand.
