MFP - Fitness site or pick-up bar?

edited November 2024 in Chit-Chat
So I recently started posting and have gotten lots of "friend" requests. With gentleman then striking up a convo that quickly transpires into flirting/sexual overtones.

Am I wrong or is this a fitness site? Anyone else experience this?

I'm happy to make friends to talk about fitness/diet but that's about it. I don't want to be mean and block anyone but seriously, it feels like a bar here!

    Yes a lot of women do this....I didn't think the men did it to?!!

    I didn't think women did it too! Thanks for the insight. I think maybe people are just bored??

    Hahaha nooo. You don't want this kinda attention. Unless you have fun trolling people. It def has kept me entertained this afternoon though slightly skeeved out.

    I only get fitness related friendship

    That's good! Literally no women have friended me, so that's why I think it's weird.

    I think it's really depends on who are you adding as a friend ?
    Do you talk to each other before you just ad anyone ?
    It's like opening a door to your home do you let just anyone in or do you talk to them before you let them in .
    I see to many people asking for people to add them to be friends. But really do you even know them ?

    There you go. :)

    You're an attractive woman on the internet. New at this?

    I'm almost 40. So no. But new to this site, the community part anyway. Just really interesting to observe.

    Well, when they message just clearly and kindly state you are only interested in fitness convo. Avoid @kinetixtrainer2 hes sneaky and inappropriate...he actually pmed me a keto recipe :|
    Soooooo if I express interest in Keto then @kinetixtrainer2 might just take notice????

    SEE, perfect example.

    I’m vegan she’s lying.

    You're an attractive woman on the internet. It just doesn't matter. Kinda like when you try to explain to British guys that they are 100% in with that accent...no matter which particular British accent it is. Doesn't matter.
