Ok, so I've found that I just can't stand playing black. Everytime I am put there, I resign. Until I get white. None of the openings for black, work for me. Sicilian requires too much studying and caro kann just doesn't fit my play style. French defense is just bad imo because it blocks a bishop. E5 also just feels very boring for me. Help. Btw, I only like e4,e5 games as white too. Help plz

What opening do you use in black?

Looking at your last few games, you don't hold white in much higher regard. You're never going to get better if you resign when your opponent stops your four move checkmate. It looks like you don't have the patience for playing chess.

Well, I don't do 4 move checkmates. I can delay it until like move 15 or 20 but rarely. I am a ruy Lopez player.

if you can win as black in the sicilian then your overall chess improves , gotta admit theres some truth to it too ,

And i prefer playing black.  Never understood the preference in colors.  It doesnt matter unless youre an elite level player.

I like to play the Alekhine's defence as black or the caro kann, and the Trompowsky as white.

I like to play Alekhines too although it might not be a great choice for developing players...
