What is a good MFP friend?

in Motivation and Support
To me, I want someone who is fun, funny and doesn't take themselves too seriously. I want someone who will give me a hard time when I am slacking and will listen to me when they are. I want someone who is dedicated to their health, but doesn't freak out if they eat a french fry. I want someone who will cuss and cut up but also has a deep side to them. I like REAL people, not people who try to be what people think they should be.


Just a few of my thoughts. What about y'all? What do you look for in your MFPeeps??

    Inspiration, someone who isn't afraid to tell me if they think I'm doing well. I have a low self esteem about things, so reassurance is never out of line. v.v
    But above all, someone to be my friend. c:

    Someone who puts it where it is. Doesn't take everything so seriously and doesnt get offended by absolutley EVERYTHING.

    Someone I can get ideas from, and who will hold me to my goals instead of her own.

    One that isn't just saying great job and not looking at your goals. If you are eating under goal good but not 500 or 600 below then you shold be asing why. Someone who will give you support and encouragement and also a hard lecture if you need it for doing something way off bases. Some of us are not on MFP just too loose some are maintaining and getting healthy and some are trying to gain in a healthy manner.

    I think most of us do that. You might want to be more specific. Unless you just like that your friends get laid in general. ;-)

    I like your junk in my box, er, inbox. Several times a day.

    I enjoy friends who know when to be serious, when to shut up, when to be inappropriately funny, and who accept me, flaws and all.

    I like those who check in every so often. Doesn't have to be daily like some can, which is cool too. And they don't have to go over everything I do with a fine-tooth comb, but have a general idea of where I am. I LOVE humor. I LOVE introspective thoughts. I LOVE compliments (yeah, lie all you want but everyone likes to be appreciated at some level). Someone who can articualte things without tryingt o hard to "be real" (AKA, just an *kitten*). Someone who doesn't take things too serious and is trying to be the most AMAZING person they can be.

    Pretty much everyone on my friends list are the epitome of good MFP friends. They work their *kitten* off and inspire and motivate me. They challenge me to be better and work harder. They actually think I'm funny sometimes and make me laugh as well. They are witty and offer great advice when needed.

    Oh, and they regularly eat bacon, pizza, and ice cream.

    I like pretty much all the same things you like...I am very close with a few of my MFP friends...I have met a few in person, talked to a few on the phone and plan to meet one in a few months. One even sent me her almost new swimsuit when she, um, "outgrew" it! I like someone I can relate to, have similar interests, etc. I am very thankful for MFP...it has been my saving grace, really.

    Feel free to add me...I love new friends that actually talk and interact!
