Someone used this example in some dating site discussion i'm in: For men dating is like searching for water in the desert, and dating for women is like searching for water in a swamp. I think it can be used here as an example too, as the same issues come up here as in actual dating. It can be used for roleplaying, for sex, for tributes on FCN in place of dating etc.

The entitlement in some of these threads is just, a lot. People will feel entitled to your time, even though there's no reason for that. The truth is women here are outnumbered and women can be choosey who they reply to. Men just don't have that, unless you're a man who is also bi and will also talk to other men.
You've acknowledged other people's POV in this thread, so i'll be nicer. But you're (Or anyone) are entitled to nobody's time. People bail for all types of reasons. Some of them are valid like being disconnected or sometimes people will ghost you. It's not fair, but nobody is entitled to anyone's time. The fact lots of men feel entitled to anyone's time here is egotistic and wrong. It doesn't matter if you set something up and were invested. Many people here will never be invested in things you set up and it's okay to feel sad/upset about it. Oftentimes what happens in roleplay. Sometimes you'll set something good up and your partner will bail because they simply aren't into it, and sometimes they don't tell you they aren't. They just ghost. It sucks, but it's not great to get invested in something that takes up too much of your time when the other person isn't excited about it like you are. I'd recommend to all roleplayers to not put all your eggs in one basket and just casually play until you meet someone who matches your excitement level and won't bail.
I like the word "woman splaining" (which isn't a thing) because you don't believe our opinions or experiences are valid, or more importantly. You are too into yourself and don't care about anyone's experiences because it doesn't concern you or revolve around you so it doesn't matter to you. At least that's just what I get from your vibe and posts on here. When women are leading a discussion about entitled men and feeling uncomfortable, sometimes it's good to have some self reflection and think "hey am I the cause here for making so many women uncomfortable why they are bailing on me. is it me?" sometimes women will bail because they are busy and it's not that serious or deep. But i've seen so MANY posts on here where I can understand why women bail on men on here. I've been endlessly pressured, abused, insulted just for not going along with someone when they demand something from me. The only thing I agree with you is #3 , you should ghost too if you're uncomfortable, unsatisfied, and more importantly you don't owe anyone an explanation for ghosting or quitting or stopping talking. Men should absolutely ghost too if you also don't wanna continue with people and you are uncomfortable. But it would be nice for some of these posters to look at it from my POV and why I personally decide to bail on conversations (not roleplays) Sometimes it's absolutely deliberate. And lots of women feel this way too.
I speak as an admin for FCN, but I still chat in PM. I read most posts that get posted here.
