I have to admit, that gave me a good laugh. 10/10.

Realistically, the amount of players who view this thread are but a small fraction of the player-base. On top of that, I wouldn't doubt that there are FAR more male players in this game than there are female players. Even beyond that, you'll find a lot of players are settled into their server of choice and won't want to transfer. It's pretty easy to see why it would be hard to find someone.

While this point isn't directed at you in specific and is more or less a trend I see in posts across this thread, but being open minded also goes a long way. I see many "I'm a man playing a woman character who wants a woman playing a woman character" or "Only X race" posts. Which is fine, I have nothing against them. But all it does is limit that person even more. I know if I was a woman browsing this topic I would scroll down the instant I saw any of those posts I mentioned above. Because at least in my opinion, if someone is going to use this topic for the purposes of actually meeting someone of the opposite gender, it should be entirely about the person behind the character. Their in-game gender/race choices should mean very little in the grand scheme of things.

Also as a note, but I have no doubt that just as there's a fair share of guys who would want their eternal bond mate to be a woman/in-game woman combo, there's probably a fair share of women who would want their eternal bond partner to be a 'man/in-game man' combo too. So keeping fantasia to adhere to what potential partners would want is something to always keep in mind.

Both of my characters are bonded to good friends of mine, but if I were to post an application, it would be for the purpose of meeting new friends and/or finding another long term play buddy. If something organically blossomed as a result of that friendship, then so be it.

Consider the following: You are not as appealing as you think you are.

1. Forum population. Think of how many players there are on your server. Now think about just how little of them come to these forums, much less this thread. You're not exactly getting Facebook traffic here. Now think about how many in that small pool fit into your criteria.

2. Expectations vs Reality. Given the multitude of reposts, it shouldn't be expected to find what you want right off the bat. I expect to find someone before Stormblood hits. But I realize that it's many months away and I'll have to wait in between in hopes my max gilled out lala will buy me several estates.

Frankly the trouble is no one wants to leave their worlds or their a woman/guy looking for a partner who the other gender both in game and IRL and if not then their just here for the glam what no one in their right mind gonna spend the $$ on a marriage just to be used for glam and break up 5sec later unless that what your after too.

With their being so few willing to leave their world what understandable if you got friends or a FC but most cause they don't want to leave their house so make it even that harder to find someone. So at this point just a matter of time and keep trying to find someone sooner or later got to come across someone.

The problem I see is your limited play time, 3 days a week, and wanting a female player that is into adult roleplaying. Those 2 things will limit the potential pool of partners for you.

Also very few of the playing population visit the forums so the pool for partners is tiny

Yes I suppose that you are right there Bixillarla

So then what should I do?

Should I post stuff on Facebook or Twitter too see if I have a better chance at finding someone?

There are plenty of women to go around. In-game, on this forum, and in this thread. But I'm guessing they just aren't picking people. Cause you know how one girl makes a post and immediately gets 4 replies? I never see women do that for guys

Well keep in mind what requirements you have set. As Daeriion said the fact your character is female, you're male and you want a female on a female character it can probably turn people away.

Also if I'm interpreting things right, you're looking for some kind of romantic relationship, when many female users don't want any of that and just want friendship.

And finally.. Hailey please stop the negative posts. It doesn't reflect that well on you. It can make you look very desperate for a partner(even if you're not), and will go into a depression because you can't get someone(as I said, even if you're not). It's a major turn-off. Just my advice.

Actually my preference have changed I would be willing to change myself into a male character if that would help cause I know most girls aren't into the whole girl on girl thing so I would definitely be willing to change to fit my partners preferences
