Hello

[SenorPatty]

If OP had written in old a/s/l lingo (ex. 27m looking for 25f, limsa), people wouldn't even have given this thing the time of day. Fully writing Female? Nah boi, you gonna make peole's head go to that part of their brain where NatGeo documentaries are stored and make them feel like mating rituals in the savannah have begun for the "female".

That or the other documentary on video game voice chat trolls when they find out one of the players is a girl/woman and they suddenly revert to cavemen and start hurling words like...well you guessed it: females.

I'm a male looking for a female (me tarzan, you jane)

vs

I'm a boy looking for a girl (sounds like children)

vs

I'm a man looking for a woman (why does that sound so strange lol)

you're right, good ol' a/s/l would work a lot better in this instance. Honestly OP would have had no issue if they just posted it in the dedicated thread on not as a separate post. Live and learn I guess.

Maybe...

I'm a mate looking for a mate, mate xD (looks like just friendship '-' )

I'm a bro looking for a sista xD (looks.... odd '-' - looking for a missing family member, perhaps? '-' )

I'm a dude looking for a hot chick xD (more like it! )

Oh, ok... I'll stop u.u
Anyway, yeah. We should just be playing the game and putting real world issues outside of it. But, machism is a crap and all (females, girls, chicks, women, sis, etc) must be always respected no matter the place. Indeed!!

Kupo, it doesn't really matter what you say as long as your inflection is of a positive nature and looking good helps. True kupo <3 lol

I am a fleshbag looking for another fleshbag with specific fleshbag traits.

Sounds like you're prejudiced against AIs, bot-o-phobe!

You're damn right I am! I hate those beep-boops with a passion!

To me it’s noun vs. adjective as to whether it sounds strange or not.

Noun (can sound strange in context, as if referring to someone in an overly scientific or detached way, as if they were another species or something, as some have said): “a female”, “females”

Adjective (does not feel strange): “female hyur”, “female players”, “I am female”

Just my take!

You'll eventually make some friend in the game. I met mine through an FC I joined. People in the game are incredibly nice, so I'm sure you'll find a couple of friends in the game eventually.
