    Also, not meant to be offensive to the OP, but this thread is a prime example of people having no desire to actually use a Search feature. Otherwise this topic wouldn't be the brought up in a new thread on a weekly basis.

    The many threads on this subject is a testament to the number of people here who objectify others and think with their junk. As long as that keeps happening here, you're going to see threads about it.

    Or it could just be people who are new, and paid eight quid a month for a fitness app that looked good and are perturbed to get odd messages within two days.
    I won't be back on this part, I'll stick to my food diary.
    Bye all

    You read my post incorrectly. I'm not talking about the people making these threads. I'm talking about the people who send messages to the people who make these threads.

    In other words, I'm not referring to you. I'm referring to the creeps who saw your profile picture and decided solely on how you look to send you strange messages.

    Apparently even a girl in a lemur suit is attractive to some. I'm a one-man-lemur lady

    Yea...like any other part of life, people bring their jimmies and desires right along with them wherever they go, including the internet. It's not a "dating site" - but it's a social space.

    ^It's still a picture of you. I bet as soon as you change it to something generic like a picture of a forrest, you'll see less.

    Personally, I think the best approach to receiving unsolicited offensive messages is to report the members who do it.

    It seems like a flirt site. Guys hitting on you while you try to put in calories into your diary

    Yep. It is only the guys here that hit on people. None of the women do it.

    Yes, I agree. But how do you go about doing that? I've looked around and it's not very apparent.

    No it f**king isn't.

    You seem angry. Is no one hitting on you?

    No, turns out being a terrible person isn't all that attractive. But even Hitler was apparently getting some, and he was far worse a person. Life is weird.

    It's a great place for tweens to hook up with old perverts and for sincere people to be bullied and harassed. Welcome!

    Tweens? Well hello out there. I just turned 30. Does that make me old enough to fulfill your daddy issues?

    The "4 worst blood pressure drugs" ads really do help with the romance.

    It's not a dating site. It's a place for creepy dudes can ask for naked pictures and it's considered "flirting." Because pictures of naked people are super difficult to find on the internet.

    I know a sure way to keep people on here from hitting on you. Use a cartoon character as your profile pic. Works every time. ;)

    Hey what's up? I see you like the American animu. How you doin'?

    I've only been on here two days, using the app for a week though . Have had a few messages like this is a dating site. Its not is it?? Like a dating site for people getting fit? Hope not, but thought I'd better check haha

    It's what you make it. If you want it to be a dating site, its a dating site.

    @odusgolp is a MFP veteran so if she says it isn't wrong to think with my junk then I am going to listen.

    I actually found a way you can supposedly search for members within your zipcode, but it doesn't work properly, and the tech team is aware of it and "working on a solution" ... so, maybe soon it can be a dating site? B)

    Or a stalking site? That's not creepy at all.

    Ya, looking for people nearby with similar interests totally makes me a stalker...
