    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.

    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!?!

    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.

    MFP is actually just a series of tubes.... that lead to different things for different people.

    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.

    I disagree with you and think you're hot.

    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!!!

    More crazy logic!! I don't like the billion "hotttt or noooootttt" threads, so do you know what I do I don't look at them. Winner!

    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.

    Case in point: Olympic Village. Massive sex party for weeks cuz of all teh hotties.

    You know I haven't experienced that at all. My MFP friends have all been great, we talk about fitness and support and encourage each other but we also talk about things going on in our lives. Sorry to hear your not getting that! Feel free to add me if you would like!

    We're human. Humans innately want food, water, shelter... and sex.

    It could be because just talking about food and weight loss is boring, and considering how long it can take to reach some goals... you'd probably want to take your mind off it sometimes. That can be supportive in a way too?
