    srsly...make a thread in the main forums with a double-entendre title.

    something like "how do i log my big balls" and then in the body of the post, talk about how you made the meatballs to go with pasta, and ask if you log the ingredients individually or if you just use a generic meatball as what you should log.

    youll thank me later.

    Was your introduction directed at the "ladies?" Did you specify that you're looking for "lady" friends when you contacted these ladies? If so, that's why. That and your profile is blank. Maybe you ought to be looking for friends instead of lady friends. If a guy sent me a FR, or posted here, saying he's new and is looking for "lady" friends, it's not happening.:flowerforyou:

    Just a guess, but I doubt many people here want to be "pen-pals," especially with people they don't know. That implies some sort of obligation to write emails to each other regularly and stuff like that. Personally, I don't have the time for that. Most of my contact with my MFP friends is limited to posting comments on each other's news feed, which involves much less of a committment. The occasional messages back and forth are generally for a specific purpose (making a follow-up question/or comment on someone's post).

    As others have suggested, start by making friends through the forums/groups and build up relationships by posting on the forums and commenting on your friends' news feeds. And don't be afraid to send friend requests to other people (though don't be offended if people turn you down; as you can see from this thread a lot of women are only looking for female friends or people with similar goals). It helps if you add a note--something simple like "I saw your post about X and I really liked your perspective" will probably do.

    hot topic today is replacing cake with watermelon...you think im kidding....im not.
    some chick claimed she made a cake by cutting a watermelon into a rectangle and putting whipped cream on it.
    bahaha thats not cake!

    so head over to the recipes section of the forums, and post a recipe for "60calorie watermelon cake - LIFE CHANGING"
    (adding "life changing" is important)

    then go on to list the ingredients for the recipe, which of course would be watermelon and whipped cream.

    you wont be able to keep up with the FRs, man...fo real.

    Sorry, I don't have guy friends.

    Read the forums, it you see a post you think shows that someone has similar interests, send a friend request with (and this is very important) a MESSAGE explaining where you got the name and why you think you'd make a good friend. Good luck.

    OP, just start sending out the FR.

    Don't be shy

    I've gotten I like you, you have a pretty little mouth, and you intrigue me.

    Yep, ALL of them made it on.

    So go ahead, let your creeper flag fly

    You don't need everyone's validation about your profile, if you're not confident, fake it. I'll admit some people want to get their ego stroked- go to the 'chit chat fun and games' area for that.

    And like someone else said this is not a dating website...most women (and men, I would guess) didn't join so they could be hit on.

    then you'll need to balance it out with some dudes.
    change your pic to this: 269229_433541860048319_559357639_n.png

    Okay...honesty in 3.....2......1....

    I'm not a canuck but know enough that it's some kind of regional thing from a region I don't even know where=no FR.

    You didn't seem to take the time to take the most pleasant pic of yourself =no FR

    You posted just for the sake of gaining friends which I usually don't do those threads =no FR

    A pic on a boat reminds me of smelling like fish or going fishing both of which I hate=no FR

    You wrote NOTHING on your profile=no FR

    I have never seen you write anything on the boards so I have no idea if we have anything in common=no FR

    Nothing about your OP here or your profile indicates any kind of sense of humor which is crucial for tolerating my antics=no FR

    I didn't know FedEx guys made deliveries by boat=no FR

    You currently appear to be whining/"fishing" for FR's= no FR

    Maybe I'm misinterpreting your intentions, but this is a diet site. Not a dating site. And ALOT of women, myself included, don't want to add male friends.

    I looked back at your first post, and you were looking for someone in the Calgary area, who might eventually want to go walking with you. The main forums cycle through so quickly here that maybe nobody from that area happened to be logged on at the moment. I wouldn't have replied to you from that post because I'm not from anywhere around you.

    This isn't a dating site, so I think most people aren't looking for real life hook-ups anyway. Pointing out that you were single in that initial post, and addressing this post to "Ladies," makes me think that maybe you are looking for a real life hook-up, which is fine, but pretty unlikely on this site.

    If I was single and looking, and I lived in your area I still might not have responded to you though because you have nothing on your profile. I have done online dating before...I met my husband that way, and there had to be some kind of feeling of connection with a person for me to message him. Online that means something on your profile, that is not hook-up related. Something that lets people get to know a little about you...maybe you like dogs or board games or science fiction. Something interesting about you.

    Make more posts on the forums. Find like minded friends that share similar points of view and personalities.

    A lot of people (myself included) aren't into being collected.

    This.
    I also agree with this not being a dating site and ladies looking for only, or mostly, ladies as friends.
    Try a 50+ group for more like-minded friends.

    I think I got one reply to my first letter of introduction. Lots of threads, got lost in the shuffle, I guess.
    I found friends on here after I posted my success story and by joining groups with similar interests.
    Good luck to you!

    Seriously though, after all of these posts, why have you not added any friends? It would be nice if you filled out a little about yourself in your profile and opened your diary. If you truly want support and motivation from friends, you have to be willing to let us in, right? Male or Female, it makes no difference to me, we're all here for a common purpose

    I'm not here to date. I only add friends if I think we've got something in common and if they've demonstrated a sense of humor.

    OMG! I love her shoes! :love:

    Op, I was going to suggest putting the words 'boobs' or 'nuts' in you thread title, but what he suggests will prolly work best. And don't call me lady!

    I don't add people or respond to people unless they have taken the time to fill out their profile info - - just because it makes me think they are not "serious" about the site - and instead just lookin to hook up or creep or something.

    that just might be me, though........not sure.
