    To treat me with the same respect that I show to them.

    That's about it really.

    Exactly :drinker:

    I sometimes get friend request from guys and we exchange few private messages then they want to talk to me regularly to get to know me.Sometimes i just stop responding in the middle of the conversation because I am busy atvthat moment or I just ne bothered .


    Most of the time they suggest adding them on chat and when I don't follow through, they delete me.I find this happens allot with male friends but not females.Usually I am just fine with encouraging each other in wall post and statuses.So what's your exceptions from your mfp friends?

    There's a chat?

    Men (not all men) think this is a dating site. Some women are showing their bodies to reveal their success, not to get hit on but I'm sure there are some women that want to get hit on. To each their own.

    What I expect from my friends on MFP is nothing actually. It's nice to have open blogs for me to read and comment on and I hope that they read and comment on mine. I do like positive friends and try to choose only them. Being that I have not been on here too long, I only have six friends but I think I picked pretty good ones :-)


    I don't thnk there is a chat on this site but they make a suggestion to download Kiki on your phone or something

    You're new here. You will catch on to who jokes and who does not.

    Perhaps you're new to mixed company and will soon learn that not everyone finds rapey, creepy comments funny but rapey and creepy.

    You're funny. You are new though April of this year. 708 post.

    Okay, so seniority rules?

    Would it help if I throw my endorsement behind that post you quoted?

    OP, I don't have requirements, other than them not sending a blank request so I can't tell where we crossed paths. If I add someone and we don't mesh or I don't care for their friendship (often it's not them as a person), I just quietly delete and move on with life.

    You would be amazed by the number of nudez the ladies send around on here. Propping up damaged egos gets just as tiring for the men.

    I've always wondered if men find ego-boosting tiresome! One less thing... :laugh:

    no expectations at all...I like my friends on here and love interacting with them but I don't expect anything more than they are willing to give and I hope they feel the same way.

    ^^^^ That!! All joking aside, I am cherishing the friendships I've made on MFP - and actually count on them to keep me engaged!
    I just suggest finding those friends that are meeting what you expect out of the friendship, and not worry about the others! They'll find someone to fill that expectation they may have - possibly somewhere else :)

    I'd like my friends to log moderately and be here.. It's hard for me to stay "friends" with someone who hasn't been on the site for months.

    I forgot about beer recommendations. I put a high value on those.

    I don't really have any 'expectations'. I have friends on here because I find it inspiring to read about other peoples successes, I like to steal ideas from their food diaries, be motivated by their progress, and its good to have people to sound off to becuase none of my 'real life' friends are particularly interested in hearing about my health & fitness goals! It also helps to have friends with similar goals as seeing other people doing what I aspire to do reinforces that it is possible to get where I want to be. Thats it really!! I've been pretty lucky so far, and aside from one dodgy FR and accompanying message, haven't had any problems with anyone being pervy! :-P

    Interact with me.. by that I mean Noodz or dirty talk.

    Inspire me... by that I mean Noodz or dirty talk.

    Motivate me .. by that I mean Noodz or dirty talk.

    Some laughs, some chats, some advice here and there...

    Oh and good food recommendations are always a good thing too... especially to go along with my resistance training recommendations. :)

    Op, let us take a moment here to ponder the question. You ask, "what are my expectations from myfitnesspal friends. Instead, I ask, what are myfitnesspal expectations for me? You see, as a young child I always aspired to be the kind of friend that others could come to. Capable of handling any obstacle friendship could throw my way. Responsible, reliable, dependable, hard working, loving, caring, and affable. With those attributes, I have been able to successfully build a solid foundation for our future as not only friends, but internet companions. I strive in all that I do to strengthen the bond that is our friendship, have fortitude in my daily struggles, and be there when myfitnesspals need me most.

    So, to answer your question, Op, I expect myself to have the knowledge and capabilities to be the friend that my current friends, nay, all of myfitnesspal may need. In conclusion, I hope we can all take a moment and ask ourselves, "What are my expectations for myself as a myfitnesspal friend?"
