I care. Because "not being comfortable" is not an excuse when your partner's gender doesn't actually change anything. Would it be equally excusable if I said I wouldn't RP with anyone who is not white? If I said "no Muslims" in my rules? "Christians only?" If I said "no fags?" I mean, gays can't write straight romances, right? What about "no one over 30?" (BTW, these are all examples of ACTUAL 'preferences' I have seen on this site. Are these okay?)

Then why is "no guys" okay? Or "male players only"?

You can [i]absolutely[/i] judge people into realizing that their thought process is flawed. I have seen it happen many times before. That's why this discussion is so important. I would even go so far as to say that the very act of putting these rules in an RP [i]IS[/i] being an ass about it. And it often turns out that people who do this have ulterior motives, like using RP as a means of getting personally close to people. I have seen that happen too. It's naive to write all this off as "just how people see things".

The reason why "no guys" or "no girls" is a thing is based on cultural and sexual preferences. You don't need to be wanting a date or wanting to find sexual satisfaction for you to not be comfortable writing a romance with another guy if you're straight. Some people find it weird. 

Now, if you're having a great time writing with someone and THEN their gender is discovered and you start being an ass, I can see how you'd judge or be salty. But people don't like being intimate, even in a creative sense, with certain genders. Mostly because even if you're not dating them, writing is often relaying personal experiences on paper. You're sharing things with someone you wouldn't normally. Judging them wont change how they feel on that.
