    No FR rules here... I don't send them out very often though and I clean out in actives every fortnight or so...

    I pretty much accept everybody and have yet to delete anyone unless they have deactivated. I don't accept if they start with "hey sexy."

    I only require that my friends, or future friends, be undercover Super Heroes. I only delete those that turn out to be Sidekicks. I mean, c'mon! You don't have to lie to kick it! xD

    I try to keep my FL elite because I think of mfp as my "safe space" to go on about stuff that I can't talk to people IRL about. I also want to actually stay somewhat connected to the folks on my FL and remember who they are, ya know.

    So that being said, a message is a must. And it can't just be "hey you're hot!" unless we already connected in the forums about something else.

    I will unfriend people who lack critical thinking skills and if they are homophobic, racist, the usual no-no's.

    I will send FR to people who impress me on some level- some just because they are mysterious, others funny, some are amazing fitness junkies who blow my mind. I feel lucky to have the FL I have.

    CC77 knows where it's at. I don't like deleting people after accepting so I try to prejudge as much as possible. ;) I don't get too many FRs so I usually am doing the picking.

    I didn't think this bothered me until recently when I received a few & I had NO idea where the people found me. The other thing that irked me is after I accepted I'd post on said persons wall & get no reply. I'd leave it for a few days & comment - still nothing. So DELETE. This isn't a numbers game - maybe for some people it is. I prefer to have no more than 30 people & preferably peeps from where I live.

    *SO after that ramble. I think a little message with the friend accept is polite...

    Maybe if you did not come across so hostile more people would accept??? Just saying, you kinda seem a little angry. I know if someone asks me to be friends, I usually accept. There are no requirements. :happy:

    Nothing set in stone.
    I usually accept everyone and may delete later if needed. If there is no attached note and they look ~16 yrs old, I check their profile. I don't need a list full of scrawny 17 yr olds trying to be a size 0 or -2.

    I'm quite selective of FR nowadays. I already have more people on my list than is comfortable to keep up with, so you better damn well impress me if you want in.

    When my list was open, I preferred a message with FR, jusrt so I would know how you came across my profile and what attracted you to it. Other requirements are as follows

    *No VLCD
    *Lifters preferred
    *Generally no one under 23, as young people are extremely annoying and probably wouldn't get along with me anyway.
    *No sluts
    * No whiners
    *No drama or butthurt-mongers
    *MUST have ability to differentiate loose vs. lose, and other 2nd-grade spelling skills
    *No friend collectors
    *No shakeology or detox people. I would just have too hard of a time NOT making fun of you.

    No requirements. I ask for a message from them just because I like to know the people on my newsfeed on a more personal level. If they don't message me then I'll just message them. :)

    On my profile I ask them to send a little message on how they found me, but no one listens to me, and I accept it regardless lol.

    They have to pass the rectal exam.
    Is it a practical, a theory or both?

    The only ones I don't accept are the obvious ED's, and the random dudes with not a single male on their FL.

    They have to pass various exams (both practical and theory) on ice creams, sarcasm, humour and perversity. Then there will be a boot camp to weed out the weak. I need to only have supermen/women on my list for the apocalypse, ya know. They must be able to run fast and far and bench 3x their weight.

    In all seriousness, just a MSG is all I need. I accept 99% of fr with MSGs and even some without MSGs if we have mutual friends and I like the person. The question of who stays...now that will be a longer answer.

    On a fitness website, where you will more than likely never meet anyone here, I don't think its really a big deal. Its not like you will ever really become 'friends' with anyone here.


    I call horse puckey! I have more friends who I feel closer with on MFP than I do IRL. I may not have met nay of them, but I would if the opportunity ever presented itself.

    I even know of people I see in the forums that I consider friends who aren't on my FL.

    What are YOUR requirements before accepting a friend? Does the person need to have a background check? Be fingerprinted? Do they need to send a message telling you how awesome they think you are? Pat you on the back a little? How much *kitten* kissing is required to decide if this person is worthy of being your friend?

    OR…is it not that big of a f-N deal to you?.. you just accept them and continue living your bada$$ life. If you decide later that the person is a ding dong you delete?

    Just curious what are your terms and conditions?
    …someday I’ll sit with the cool kids!

    Background checks? No c'mon that's stupid!

    Credit checks, of course! I mean who am I gonna mooch money off of?!



    I've never turned down a request, and I only delete someone if they haven't been around for like 6 mos.
