    I think posting in the back thread seems to be a great popularity booster!

    No, don't say that! As someone new to MFP (and for the most part at the beginning of her journey) I can tell you that seeing you get in there and flex with the big boys was awesome! You look great, and I hope you keep posting.

    Thanks! ❤ we are all at difference parts of our journey. I am motivated by seeing and reading about everyone's progress.

    I guess it depends on how you define popular? Does it = a lot of friends?

    Well, on a fitness site, one way is to be in great shape, or smash some crazy fitness goals and share on here about it. If your pics show progress and your posts show a half decency about them... Then you'll likely get some friend requests.

    Visibility + decency + sense of humour often = friend requests. Showing the goods doesn't hurt, either. Lol

    What is more important, is whether any of those turn into lasting friendships... That's where consistency comes in.

    But really... Popular isn't as important as quality. If you are lucky to make some good, true friends out of it all... Then that's more than you ever need.

    There are some truly amazing people on here... Look for them.

    Well, I guess you start by posting a “woe is me” post ✅
    Then watch the responses pour in ✅

    Idk 🤔 doesn’t work for me
    I think to be popular you just have to actually interact with people

    Aww what a sweet thing to say :neutral:
    I wasn't even posting my comment and bringing this back to life for attention. It was because of others' feelings in regards to replies that they get. The main point was and still is, we all need to be mindful of what we say and how it could be taken because behind the words real people exist.

    best way to become popular is to start a new thread called "hi!!!!" and post a selfie in the first comment without anything else.

    then when people start asking why you didn't just post it in the selfie thread, make sure to say "oops I thought I did sorry guys!"

    bonus points if your selfie is a Snapchat screenshot so then everyone knows you have Snapchat 😎

    You sound like you’ve been around awhile😂

    start a "has anybody taken one of these personality tests???" thread with a link to said personality test.
    works every time.

    Maybe implement some sort of gimmick into all of your posts, like the flag of Equatorial Guinea 🇬🇶

    I think to be popular you just have to actually interact with people

    Its kinda hard to do that when you're shy 🙈

    Re:shyness, I'm wondering if people who are shy in their daily lives tend to open up a lot more on forums? Does remaining anonymous help you open up easier?

    Mfp allows me to be playful and laid back.

    The key is to always take a contrarian viewpoint but send lots of PMs clarifying that you are just playing Devil’s advocate. And send lots of unsolicited nudes. Everybody loves to open a message and find a super closeup of naughty bits. Oh and report anyone who disagrees with you.

    What did I miss?
