Are we really that bad?

iAMaPhoenix

OK...Today whilst reading forum stuff, I noticed that there were two ladies who stated in their profile that they do not accept FR from men. I know we hve been given the titles of pigs, dogs, trashy, *kitten*, sluts, cheaters, liars... but are we really that bad that you have decided that all of us come from the same mold?

I think it's more about them than you......................they might have a jealous husband or boyfriend and it's just easier not to give them reasons to b!tch sometimes...................hehe just like how men deal with their b!tchy wives and girlfriends.

Iamfit4life

probably bad experiences.

Maybe some women just prefer support from other women. What's the big deal?

FR?

Or possibly they don't feel they have anything in common with men on their road to health. When I first started, I only accepted FR from people who either were at the same place as me, or HAD been and now reached their goal, and only women. I only recently added a few men to my FL, and they are all very supportive and motivating. I think it depends on the reason the person is on here.

Crisis averted. Whew that was close.

I would probably say they are just looking for support from women. I have had a bad experience on here from a man so from here on out I will be selective about the men I would accept as friends here.

My wife is the only friend I have. If I accept any requests from females it usually turns into an issue, so I just don't mess with it. I would imagine the situations are similar....that or they just don't like men.

Luandanielle1979

Oh I like at least a few men I can pick on haha!!

PrincessEliNa

Probably just relate more to what women are going through. I myself only have 2 male 'pals'.

FR=Friend Request



I personally do not accept friend requests from males. Not because I have a jealous husband or anything, but out of respect of our love for each other. I don't have a problem with people who do accept requests from members of the opposite sex. It's just a personal preference for me.

Everyone has their own needs. Maybe they have topics they want to discuss and needs from their friends that only apply to women. It probably doesn't have anything to do with them truly not liking men or not trusting them.

ninerbuff

I can understand. I've had females told me that they only want a female trainer and would never consider a male. No blow to my ego.

Well, some women may also have progress pics posted on their page in their undies & may not feel comrfotable with men being able to see them.

DietingMommy08

if your significant other is gna get jelous of friends of the opposite sex on a fitness website then shes got some real trust issues with herself/himself that they need to deal with.

Smh....

I don't think you should take it personally. I don't accept requests from men, not because I think ill of them, but out of respect for my husband. I don't feel right sharing something that is very personal to me with men that I don't know. They may have similar reasons for not adding men to their friends list.

I haven't decided that. I know some wonderful men.

I put that under the same category as women who won't be friends with other women because we're "all" catty backstabbers and drama queens.

BarbWhite09

Some people are just overly sensitive. Don't take what they say to heart.

It is no big deal. I was just making an observation.

bry_all01

the answer is yes. Not for me, though. I love all of my friends equally. :bigsmile:

wickedcricket

Maybe they got enough friends - could be A LOT of reasons, nothing personal.

MANY women aren't comfortable in a co-ed gym- some don't want men to know their vital stats etc.
geez, don't be so sensitive .. they might mistake you for a girl & friend you

Boys have cooties didn't you know that :noway:

Men and women deal with different issues when losing weight, specifically emotionally, but also phisiologically. I wouldn't think it is a jealousy issue or a general hate of men. More of a relevance preference.

OR it COULD be that they are doing it out of respect for their significant other... maybe.

I do and that is why I don't date them...lol. I understand that some ladies may have had a bad experience on here, like one I saw this morning. I was just trying to get a little more insight from other people.

@pa2b32...anyone who friends you is going to have to ogle your halloween candy every day! That's not much of a marketing campaign to lure women who are trying to lose weight, lol.
