Is MFP really for diet and fitness? Is it really?? Reading these threads it seems like mostly maybe a hook-up site or a closet weirdo perv convention. Not prude, but holy cow why does everything here turn sexual? Or into an argument. I just wanna lose weight with some supportive folks!! Am I the only one who feel this way!?!

    No really. In all seriousness. It's like any other online community. Lots of people are regulars and know each other from posts. I would just stay out of the chit chat forums and in the food and exercise forums to avoid most of the snarky posts.

    Not everyone is here for the same thing.

    Some like it hot, some want to lose weight, some just track fitness, some want the sex.

    MFP is a collection of fitness & health oriented HUMANS that are going to discuss fitness and other human related things. Do you really expect it to be all fitness all of the time? Boring!

    just stick to the success stories, food/nutrition, and general weight loss forums. log your calories and exercise.

    when you're ready, join the party/dark side.

    edited for spelling cuz having a finger out of commission is messing me up!!!

    That's humans for you. Their evolutionary imperative of reproduction and procreation inevitably creeps into everything. On account of its pervasiveness. I definitely recommend sticking to topics that you're interested in, however, rather than reading ones that you aren't and then posting a thread stating that some threads are not relevant to your interests.

    "I'm not a prude!"


    ...but you are a prude. =|

    OP if the threads seriously bother you how about you just... I don't know... not open them? =|
    Or better yet avoid the forums all together.

    Uh, yeah I kinda did. If I wanted any other kind of social site, I'd go to Fakebook.

    and many people lose weight and get more fit and find sex gets better and better.

    They come out of their shells and feel confident about their bodies.

    When you come to the "Chit Chat, Fun and Games" section........

    Just expect that theres single "Hot To Trott" hotties here, and they need love & attention too..
    Crap, I was one of them until the age of 41...... I would have loved to use this site when I was younger & unmarried & needed a self esteem boost. Wait....... You had a thread this morning, and you were asking people in this fun and games section, their opinion about if your marriage sounds normal.

    Comes to "Chit Chat, Fun and Games" questions why we like to joke around.

    Damn .. there is a meme in there somewhere.

    but, you are in the Chit-Chat, Fun, and Games section... and, what friends do you have on Facebook that you see hook-up site or a closet weirdo perv convention?

    You're in the wrong forum. There are forums dedicated to diet, fitness, etc. This is the "other" forum.

    It's a dating site, of course.



    Isn't it?

    But in all seriousness, all these "sexual talks" here are harmless and just jokes. Take them or leave them. Even with all the jokes, you can clearly see many of us here that are very supportive of each other. So, this is not something that's exclusive. We can be both joking and supportive.

    I've never had anyone get weird or pervy or had anyone inappropriately message me. I'm starting to feel left out!

    Some threads do breakdown into arguments that come out of the oddest places, but what can you do.

    It is a calorie counting site and food database with a forum community.

    Health and fitness increases both your attractiveness and sex drive, so why is this surprising?

    I admit to being a weirdo perv, buy "closet?"

    That's just wrong.

    And note that I sent this woman intimate photographs of me today . . .

    and of my children!!!!

    I disagree with you and think you're hot.
