    I've learned that lots of exchanges go on "behind the MFP scenes". Some are very eye opening and shocking. Things are not always as they appear. Don't put anything past anyone.

    I'm reviving this kinda old thread, but..

    I learned that I am quite happy that I found this thread (by accident) before I ventured further on this site as a new user.

    Thanks to you folks, I have gotten a better understanding of why only certain people post in the selfie-thread, what to kind of look out for (although I'm not super chatty, I love having people around who actually like having conversations, can joke and can be inspiring), and have come to learn that while I'm here to not feel horrible about myself any longer by eating better and exercising, apparently that may not be the case for everyone.

    Personally, I feel like this thread should be stickied.. for us new people so we know what we're stepping into by partaking in the forums, lol.

    Does anybody know how to clear sent friend requests? I've sent a few last week and haven't been friended, which is fine. I just want to clear out the sent ones. Any suggestions?

    I don't think you can delete friend requests you've already sent.
    Lots of people keep friend requests without responding to them, perhaps yours are sitting and waiting

    The "Say it again, Sam" thread taught me a lot. I'm kind of scarred. :joy:

    I realised that deep bonds being formed over the Internet are common place. This is scary.

    I've been on forums for years.. I never take anything on them too seriously or personal.. After all it's the internet and as they say.. "sticks and stones" There will always be keyboard cowboys and haters... I never let them get to me...

    I always wondered why guys were messaging me left and right to flirt like it's feckin Ok Cupid or something

    But now I realize, it turns out, everyone but me got the memo that this is a dating site. But the weird kind, where you fall in love with someone you've never met based on a profile pic and some nice words, and then have to pick up the ruins of your broken heart when you find out they're married with 3 kids, they actually live in a basement and have no teeth, or when some other MFP chick comes along and "steals" them.

    And here I thought this was a fitness site with a jokey forum to kill time :joy: My bad :joy:

    I also learned that there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that I care 0% to be a part of

    I've learned that sometimes, if you add people as a friend, they think that means you want to f**k them.
    Whether they're man woman, vegetable or mineral.

    Marry me jen! I feel a deep connection.

    Seriously though I agree 100%, people put their best self forward and only ever show their best flaws (if they can help it) on here and tbh irl.

    Some people are desperate to have friends and fall in love and seek it anywhere they can find it, if you over extend yourself you end up falling. It's the responsibility of reasonable folk to stop that happening. Unfortunately it's not always easy to spot.

    The deep feels for what are essentially strangers is remarkable but so very open to abuse and heartache. (for partners not on the site too)

    The behind the scenes stuff is pathetic, cliquey and sometimes just plain nasty. However it can be fun, supportive and kind.

    But that's peeps, especially peeps with a bad case of the feels.

    I was lambasted a few days ago for being too light hearted, not taking things seriously and always making a joke.

    Yet I've been feels free 1999. :D
