I've been off and on with this site for years, but the site always stays the same. While I agree with all the reviews below, I will focus more on this site's roleplaying aspect. In simple terms, it's a site meant for roleplaying, but good luck finding one. You'll be met with pages filled with similar playbys like Selena Gomez, Nina Dobrev, or even a wrestler and model in very suggestive clothing. At this point, low self-esteem shows throughout this site with its common trend of people playing beautiful Hollywood actresses or models with perfect bodies. They don't want to roleplay; they want to gather a following to garner attention. Clearly, there are folk who live on this site just churning out profiles like mass production. It's evident when all the profiles are structured the same way or have the same name font, almost like they are in a clan. I've even encountered others claiming they have multiple accounts. So be aware that new users on this site are likely individuals you've met before.

As previously mentioned, this place isn't about roleplaying. It's where users create a profile and devote all their time to customizing it as if trying to win a contest for best profile editing. This is hysterical because it's always guaranteed that people will abandon their accounts within a week, if not less. Meanwhile, if you're lucky enough to interact with anyone, you might get a response from your introduction message, but it's rare if conversation exceeds this. If brought to their attention, they will become defensive and claim they are "Busy" or have "Lives" as an excuse for their lack of responding, yet they constantly post and interact with certain friends in the comments section on their wall. I understand roleplaying is a hobby, and life happens, but what's the point of even being on the site if you're telling people they might have to wait two weeks for a response? It's not a hobby if you only do it once every two weeks. I have a job and life, but I still find time to get responses. It's an excuse to disguise their unwillingness to roleplay. They don't take it seriously, and they only jump on to banter with their certain friends that they consider "worthy" when they can.

Another common theme on this site is having your friend request rejected. You'll always get denied if your character isn't a model with an eight-pack or a favorite ship among that person's verse. Even those encouraging characters unrelated to their verse still get turned down. I understand having a preference, but at least elaborate on that preference. Everyone on this site is extremely picky and only desires smut or some bizarre fetish. One user asked me if they could send me a starter. I said I wanted to discuss a plot before jumping into a roleplay. She instantly blocked me for making a harmless suggestion.

If you're fortunate enough to engage in a roleplay, be prepared for disappointment. Writers here roleplay like they are in grade school. They may be. Who knows. Or it could be adults who decided never to grow up and take an English class. For example, not only do the roleplays consist of one-liners that aren't engaging, but you might receive a paragraph that lacks detail and is nothing more than a complete run-on sentence. When I read some of these roleplays, I remember how painful it must have felt for my English teacher to read my writing back when I was a child. Ultimately, If you want to join a site and feel like you're stepping back into grade school where you find groups of people getting together so they can bull$#*!, act immature, and stir up drama, then Roleplayer.me is for you.
