    I am newly single, and excited about meeting Mr. right and enjoying life. Even though I've noticed some flirty remarkes on this site, It's still reeking with " Forget about dating signs" I have come to the conclusion that it's like "bathroom meet.com" When you're at your worst, trying to recapture the "better you" and you are staring your potential love in the face, Well what's romantic about that! Another way to look at it, we're in a factory being prepped and honed & transformed into wonderful, attractive, beautiful people. Just not done yet. Oh I know we're supposed to be beautiful as we are, I'm just saying...

    Do you work for UPS? Well you keep checking out my package...

    Do you think guys who use pick up lines think with their d*icks? You do? Well, can you blow my mind then?


    HILARIOUS!!


    You made me laugh when I wasn't sure it was even possible...thanks!

    Listen, I get what you are saying (and no, I'm not drunk. Yet.) However, given physical appearance is only one small component of attractiveness I don't think there's any point waiting until you reach some mythical, magic goal weight. If you are single you are best off getting flirting quicker than a rat up a drainpipe (pardon the pun.) Perfect practice makes perfect.

    And yes. I totally googled "bathroommeet.com"

    I'm confused.
    I can't tell if you're upset that you've been flirted with on MFP but noone's asking you out on a date? Or you're annoyed that you've been flirted with, or not flirted with?

    Thus, why I am confused. :huh:

    I'm on MFP to get fit and healthy. I don't get your comment about people being here to transform themselves into wonderful attractive people--I already think my friends on here are wonderful attractive people, and I think I'm a wonderful, kind, attractive, smart, friendly, funny person--losing a few pounds isn't going to change that about me. :love: I don't look at MPF as a dating site, but if I happened to click with someone I talked to on here, I would not automatically reject it because that person may have "seen" me at my worst--it would be no different than if I met them anywhere else in my life. It's all about being open to the possibilities.

    Now you have me confused.. you said on your profile that you want to; step out from behind the camera for a change and look good in front of it, but now your' saying you're here to get fit and healthy. So I really can't tell if you want to be healthy or just look good in front of the camera. Well I'm guessing it's a combination, so would it be fair to assume it's a combination of events that led the OP to say flirting on MFP is a bad idea?
    [/quote]

    Well thanks for reading my profile page I guess lol...I can want to be fit and healthy AND look good both in front of the camera, where I used to hide behind it...it's not an either/or. But originally, yes, I wanted to lose weight...now I am training for a half marathon. Different goals...

    But yeah I guess posting that flirting on MFP is a bad idea, means that it was a bad idea for you? not sure what you meant by the whole original post, guess I'm just confused still ;)

    Oh I know we're all beautiful! That's why we're trying so very hard to change what we look like...

    I'm sure people join MFP for all kinds of reasons but many (most?) of us joined MFP to be healthier, not solely to change our appearance.

    There is no harm in flirting.....we are all grown ups. Plus it is a good vote of confidence to be complimented on your appearance. There are too many pretty girls though and too little time.... sorry if I missed some of you. :-)

    It's why dating is forbidden in AA, if you think about it.

    I guess...if you equate becoming fit and healthy to getting off of an addiction. I understand for some of us that could be a valid comparisons. For the majority though...I think its something different.

    Changing how I look is COMPLETELY secondary. I'm trying to avoid some health problems. I have always liked the way I look :)

    Why this keeps getting brought up is a mystery to me.
    You have control of how you use and interact on this website,you can report any unwanted PMs when they happen and block the person sending them.
    To worry about how others act is just silly.
    As I have said before,the game threads hold no interest to me,the endless TOM threads to me are annoying but know there will be a new one or several a day.
    I just ignore them.

    Sheesh.

    Oh .its not a dating site ! DAM IT ! and here was me wasting my money !

    seriously for one min (YES I CAN DO THAT), it cant be any surprise to ANYONE that flirting happens because most people use the site cos they feel bad about how they look..................all of a sudden people start saying NICE things///////things that you might not of heard for a while, things like........ WELL DONE..........or YOU LOOK GREAT............. it only natural that people start to want that attention more and more.... that why people come on here all the time.

    Flirting is human nature.............. if people dont like it or dont want it, if you come across it just say thanks but no thanks.

    if you do like it..................... please pm me :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
