Why, just why?

I joined MFP to lose weight and get healthy. I am looking for people to connect with on here for that purpose so… why, just why am I only getting friend requests from weird “guys” that start off asking about MFP stuff but slide right into personal flirty questions??? I am not really into that kind of thing so how do I weed out the ones that actually want to work on fitness and all the MFP has to offer versus those weirdos that only are looking for someone to sext with?

Unfortunately there are creepers everywhere on the internet.

Head here and report their behavior, please.

Thank you much…. Just wanted to be sure it wasn’t just a fluke… I know there’s creepers everywhere but really wasn’t expecting it on here so much lol

My first friend here on MFP quickly turned out to be a creeper too.....The flirty chit-chat threads I believe help to attract these type of men.

I have never had this problem.

Not trying to invalidate anyone's experience… I've certainly encountered creepers in real life

But if y'all get the flirty threads shut down i'm going to riot

I don't do private messaging or newsfeed stuff and just interact with my kind of weirdos in public!
