    So is it just me or is this creepy?
    When I see someone that has 85 friends and they are all of the opposite sex - I think that's weird.
    Whether it be a guy or girl - thoughts?

    What would a non creepy ratio be?? My current chick to dude ratio is 70/30 - creepy or no creepy??

    I used to think so but now I think it depends. Some people are just more comfortable with the opposite sex.

    :D - no creepy - just think that surely you would find someone or more - that you would want to be friends with of the same sex - just for support and to support if that's what you really signed up to do - and have fun with - get opinions from - seek advice from - you know - real life *kitten*

    Guys also get creep messages from (gay) guys. In case you’re wondering, females aren’t the only victims

    Guys (straight/gay?) also get creep messages from women (straight) too. I think a lot of us know that......there are some THIRSTY women on here.

    Apparently not thirsty enough. What does a person have to do to get a creeper?

    I accept everyone, and hardly ever send fr myself... Regardless, about 90% of my mfp's are women...

    It ain't my fault, nor by design 🤷🏽‍♂️...

    Also, while I accept everyone I'm openly reluctant to accept guys (although I do) because I feel sometimes they just want to go through my mfp list and then delete me... I've seen it happen

    Is why it's exceptionally rare for me to send a request, as I really only add people I communicate with regularly. It's probably just as rare for me to get a FR because of it. :p

    Oh no, i mean i got at least one fr from a woman who was trying to scope out my FL and my interactions with them.

    You should send out more FRs.

    Yep, I kind of understood that part. But, even so, I'm still limiting on who I send/receive FR's with.

    If you don't really interact with someone, or plan to, why bother? It's like these people with massive friend's lists on FB.

    I have two rules for FB: 1. I must know you irl

    And 2. You must not annoy me too much

    My mfp rules are much stricter

    I swear! I said this on my wall a few weeks ago. I don’t think people got what I was saying. I think people do that to me?? Seems like mostly females and then all of a sudden you see “New Female Friend is friends with......a bunch of people on my FL, mostly guys” I don’t know if it’s necessarily bad but I do find it curious. Maybe the guys are happy about it. Who knows.

    I don’t mind sharing friends. It can be fun sharing jokes if you can see everyone’s wall. Especially since I take almost nothing here seriously. But sometimes there’s shade. Kwim?

    I'd suspect the women sending men creepy messages on MFP is probably higher than a lot of other platforms. As a diet site, the user base is going to be skewed towards women. There is a tendency in populations with higher female to male ratios, women become bolder.

    Truth. And their sick fetishes start to come out. What’s all this about “leg day” and “arm day”? 🙄
