It's weird, I have literally never encountered a mate beggar before. o.o (Obviously I've seen someone scream, "I NEED A MATE!!!1!" but no one has actually come up to me and personally ask me to be their mate.)
Yeah. Guys, I don't think that really is considered "begging". It's kind of mislabeling... honestly I'd just call that person lonely, or dramatic. Begging? Not really...
I'm just saying, I don't see how some people call me a mate-beggar, among other much, much worse names. Yes, I am looking for a mate. But that gives you no reason to pick on me because I'm single.
So please be aware there IS a difference, between mate-searchers and mate beggars. The beggars are the ones that harass you about it, as described in previous posts. At that point I firmly believe that they're just drama queens in general, regardless of the issue because I can imagine they act the same way in role play if they don't get what they want.
Example (DQ short for drama queen, that also has "mate beggar" behavior):
DQ: Hey we should do a Lion King RP
Me: Haha okay dibs on Scar
DQ: OMG WHY WOULD YOU PICK MY CHARACTER I HATE YOU!!!
