To answer your question, guys will flirt with you because you are attractive. Unfortunately for you, God made you pretty. They will flirt with you everywhere you go, so you might have to get used to it.

Also I think a place like this where they have friend interaction is a great place to meet people who have similar goals and interests as you. Many people hook up in gyms and this really is no different.

Like everyone is saying though, you have the power to delete the people you find offensive. Trust me it's far better to be constantly hit on than constantly ignored

he makes a fine point.

Wow so many replies I wonder how many people actually checked for you on Match.com...... super tactic.

3. Men are animals and will respond to pics in suits as such

Would it be too much to ask that you alter that to say that SOME men are animals... Or do you actually believe that ALL men, including your husband and sons (future sons), are nothing more than animals with no ability to control themselves? Some of us do have morals and character you know.

i thought the same thing when i read that.

No I will not make out with you. Did ya hear that? this girl wants to make out with me in the middle of class. You got Chlorophyll Man up there talking about God knows what and all she can talk about is making out with me. I'm here to learn, everybody, not to make out with you. Go on with the chlorophyll.

LOL that's a good one Gorilla!!

If this were a dating site I would let you make out with me... sorry though it is not.

So wait-- I start a topic yesterday that asks men for their opinion on the use of smileys in other communication with men, that really went back and forth rather harmlessly, and Mike shuts that one down....but he has no problem with this one.

Yo, Mike-- ridiculous, buddy.

....or maybe someone reported your bigoted comment about homosexuals?

So wait... you're upset that guys are hitting on you so you told everyone on the website about it? Doesn't sound like you're annoyed, sounds like you're bragging to me.

I read yours- it did NOT go back and forth harmlessly. This one has some cattyness, but your thread started about as bad as this one and only got worse.

@Halobender: ITA, yes, I've seen women that are absolutely lecherous on here and everywhere. Being salacious isn't the province of only men.


To whoever it was several pages back that said something along the lines of (paraphrasing here) you evil adults for bashing an innocent kid for her opinions..blah blah.

Said, innocent kid, has surely been on the internet for a decent amount of time that she understands how to set up a thread topic on her own, didn't ask what BUMP is, has a FB, a computer or access and has probably been on the internet for a few years at least. Note that these are just observations of what is likely to be her experience with the internet at this point- not a justification for anyone to accost her rudely on the internet - but that IS what happens on forums all over the net. Particularly if you set up your thread as a confrontation which she obviously did.

She seems to have handled all of it well and with humor from what I can see- a lot of people in this thread are simply playing around and there are actual posts that are debating the merits of different viewpoints (I did both). I don't even understand why people would be shocked that this topic would be so popular...her title is accusatory and has an exclamation mark and just screams drama...that will attract people on any forum.

This type of topic pops up at least every other week here on MFP- so yes- a lot of us who have been here and hang out on the forums have seen this over and over again. I find it quite hilarious. As one of my friends said on our profiles ..any site with three people on it is in essence a dating site. This is a social networking site for ostensibly furthering our 'weight loss goals' (btw I find it incredibly cheesy to walk around saying that...makes me lol all the time) with ADULTS. Anytime adults get together..attractions happen. Appropriate or not- they just do. Part of growing up and being an adult is learning how to deal with this with grace if at all possible. There is zero point in trying to change everyone else about issues like these- you just have yourself to be responsible for. You can only 'control' how you react to it and your own decisions. You can choose not to participate, change your avatar, just delete PM's and not even respond to them, or completely deactivate your account or just stay off the internet or just develop a thicker skin.

I do not think I'm being rude or egregious by pointing these things out ..whatsoever. I'm just being matter of factly. :flowerforyou:

P.S.
I'm looking for dudes with low esteem....this site is a diamond!

Thats why I dont have a picture!! only when I reached my goal I will post until then....do you really need to know what I look like to chat about health and weight?!?!

No, I personally don't "need" to know what you look like, I just like to see people's faces It just adds a more human element to communication that I like. Also..even if people don't want to do avatars of themselves the world is your oyster avatar wise. One only need to upload a photograph of *anything*

Some people need to get over themselves. If you don’t want men to hit on you, do like someone else mentioned and post it on your profile. Gee I bet you’re real fun at parties.

Guy: Hey my name is Bob, what’s yours?

Girl: None your damn business, creep, I didn’t come here to get hit on.

Exactly.

I have not been flirted with but I have had some really nice compliments. I am sure that everyone on this site means well. Sometimes the nice things said may give us alittle kick....if you know what I am saying!! I can not deny it...I am in love my MFP's!!!

Btw you're not the only one I've had to get a SECOND stick to keep all these chicks off me .....

kimber607

sort of reminds me of the chick that goes to the gym half naked, with FULL face of make-up..hair done and sprayed like she is walking off the set of Dynasty 1980 style, and a guy hits on her and she plays the 'AS IF' attitude
really..c'mon...really?

I forgot where I am going here..LOL

"I don't know why but some people treat this website as a way to flirt with people....which is totally not my intention for joining or many others for that matter. If you are a guy...message me about weight loss and exercise tips...DONT ASK FOR MY NUMBER OR FLIRT! I'm here to learn how to be healthy...not how I have pretty eyes. Sorry for venting but this has been ticking me off!! In conclusion use this site for healthy motivation and support....if you want a date go to Match.com"

Just ignore them and if you are only here for ideas/support on diet and exercise, avoid the chit chat and games topics.

Oh, and btw. I met my fiance on a website just like this. I did not go there looking for dates, I was there for all the same reasons everyone starts going to these sites but, it just happened.

Its a trap
