    I've learned that it's best not to expect anyone to be genuine. No matter how much you'd like them to be.

    This is true too! So many wise people here!

    I just discovered this online community this week even though I've been using the MFP app to track my food intake and progress for a few months. I've been wondering about some of the post topics and all the "add me" requests and whether any of it really makes a difference in our individual health goals. This thread has been really eye-opening and funny so thanks for that. B)

    I learned not to skip over people because it's quite rude to treat folks as if they're invisible.

    What J said. Back to the uncrushable thread.

    @AskTracyAnnK28
    I'm so confused. She mentions me in the crush thread and calls me a *kitten* here. And women wonder why we can't figure them out. :D

    @GymRatSF - I know you have a head - I've seen it! lolololol

    this place is full to the brim of folks needing validation and attention
    You nailed it so hard that in 9 months it's going to file a paternity suit against you.

    :lol: I hope I get invited to be a guest on the Maury Show.

    But what happens when he says "you are NOT the father" than we all look at the female in shame since she don't know who the baby daddy is.

    MFP has taught me that lots of people like to judge others...usually in a non favorable way. Which is interesting for a site that is supposed to be about support. I find it fascinating how random people are experts on how strangers "should" be.....such as how much time they should spend online, how much time is appropriate to post in certain forums, the correct way they should use their newfound confidence to seek attention from others, who should be allowed to flirt and who shouldn't, when they are considered pathetic and when they aren't.... when they are considered popular and when they are considered washed up losers, how many friends people should have on their friends list, and oddly enough the fear and or hatred some have for cleavage, etc.

    On the positive side I've learned some good health tips and fitness information from MFP, I've met some wonderful people who I truly do consider my friends. I have a varied friends list who amongst them have a ton of information and life experiences. I use the forums for information and entertainment and really do enjoy this site.

    So sad that this friend has left. Why is it anyone else's business how much time they spend on MFP or what forums they frequent or if they show some cleavage in some of their photos. Shame that some on here drive others away.

    I've learned to bite my tongue and STFU as to not offend folks because some people are overly sensitive and I'm overly sarcastic. Well maybe I haven't learned how to completely STFU but I give it my best effort...so there.

    Hey, way too much talky still ;)

    Sadly the douchebaggory is not limited to shirtless/headless torso's. Some people keep it well hidden behind the sweetest smiles. So the saying is true...don't judge a book by its cover.

    Amen to that!

    People will try to drag you into their drama. Sometimes no matter how much you try to avoid it, you get unwittingly sucked in and before you know it, it's a shitstorm. Probably the most valuable lesson I've learned is to trust my instincts when it comes to people.
