Is there real people on here? Seems so far the ones I’ve talked to are falling to
Scam people out of money. Geesh it’s really sad

The forums here are full of real people, sadly a huge amount of the people who will friend you and then send private messages are scammers. I've stopped accepting friend requests at all, but find interacting here on the forums very fulfilling.

Um, yeah?

I regularly work out. Lots of other people who post here in the Community regularly work out.

I've been here since mid-2015. I've never asked anyone here for money, nor been directly asked for money here by other users (that I can recall).

I admit I've seen a vanishingly few posts from online trainers trying to reap new clients, or folks who are likely MLM "coaches" (so called), who ask people to DM them for detailed answers that a decent human would share out here in public.

I say "vanishingly few" intentionally, because those posts most often literally vanish, either because they get spam-flagged into the bit bucket, or get flag-reported as bad actors and their ID gets deleted.

If you get friend requests then DMs from guys who act skeezy (catfishers or whatever) report them to MFP, unfriend them, and block them. You can also even use the ignore function so you won't see posts directly from them here in the Community.

To me, MFP seems way more on top of that kind of nonsense than do most social networking environments. We need to do our part though, as decent humans: Report them, flag them.

There are a bunch of exercise challenges in the Challenges part of the Community where regular people set goals for different exercises, post updates, and cheer each other on. There are a few threads in Exercise and Fitness where people share updates on their diverse workouts all in one thread.

Take a look around. Decent people are here, sharing all kinds of good info and support. You can find them.

Best wishes!

Yeah I had accepted 2 one we just message here the other yeah always the same thing in the military like those men have time to even be on here then low and behold something comes up and they start asking for mone.😡 I do not fall for the scam I just delete them. But it is tiring that you can’t find real people more are fake than real. So I don’t accept anymore.
