[RP Advice] Before You Chat; Read First (Profile Bios/Abouts)
Category: Blogging

I know it’s been long since I wrote one of these, but this one came upon clarity tonight for me. It’s shocking just how many RolePlayers, and Non-RolePlayers alike, simply assume things with the person they chat with.

It is rather important to read the profile of a member before chatting with them. Vice versa, it is also important for YOU, as a member, to fill out your Bio/About so that others do not assume they can do anything they wish with you. As harsh as that sounds? it’s completely realistic! If you have an empty Bio/About, people will think you have no boundaries, no limits, they will ask questions you may not feel comfortable on answering. But, first and foremost, you truly do need to read someone’s so you have a clear idea as to what they are looking for, or what their interests are.

In my case, when someone chooses not to read my profile, they automatically assume I am into Yaoi shipping. I am not afraid to tell someone that I do not do it, but if they had read my profile from the start? they would have known prior that I am not into that. I have had to block MANY members who try to ship their characters with Noctis, or OC makers who try to convince me to play the father or brother of their OC. I DO have it listed in my profile, that I do not do any of that. If you have a question? the answer is already provided for you if you simply take the time to look at my Bio/About.

You only look like a fool if you do not let members know you have boundaries and limits. It does not hurt to let others know why you are here and what you are looking for in the Amino. I also advise that you also tag yourself as 18+ if you are that type of person, underaged members need to be considered as well.
