in Chit-Chat
So, I don't usually deny any friend requests, but I always wonder what made them pic me? Im still pretty early into my weight loss, and don't really do a whole lot of posting to get noticed.

I know when I choose pals I tend to pick people who have had an amazing weight loss/transformation, or seem very knowledgable about nutrition and working out.

I also confess that sometimes (not too often) its just purely because I think they're too cute! :embarassed:
Lol......how bout you??? :bigsmile:

    I haven't been on long, but a lot of the friends I have I knew before joining from WW. We all kind of migrated over here.

    I haven't gotten many friend requests from here though.

    I'm too shy to pic them but I generally approve them when they request. Maybe I'm still shell-shocked from Facebook and am afraid that MFP friends will find a way to send me Farmville requests, LOL!

    I consult my baggie full of small animal bones. And if I left that at home, I read my tea leaves. If all else fail, I go for the magic 8 ball.

    People similar to me. Like someone is the same age and weight, or even name! its rare to find other Moriahs! Haha I don't usually add other people though. I like a small friends list so I can get to know them all a little bit.

    I enjoy diversity in gender as well as goals, and I target those who are about my age and where I seek to be.
    Also, if I enjoy people's forum comments, expect a request - lol

    It's been great connecting with so many like-minded people all striving for better health.

    What a great community!

    I prefer to maintain friends who are active in the forums to some degree, and who log their food daily. I don't really care what anyone looks like...gender, age etc.

    Similar goals to mine, or have a similar build to how I plan on looking like once I get to goal. I decline probably 90% of those who request to add me. I don't require support, as long as they log in regularly. I get my support and motivation from the forums, mainly.

    I have a few friends with my same first name too.

    And I like being friends with those crazy distance runners and triathletes. They're a funny bunch, but very motivating and know their stuff.

    Some of my reasons:
    -I see their posts on other friends' walls and think we'd have things in common
    -they enjoy the same exercises or activities that I do
    -friends in common
    -people who are in great shape and I'd like to learn from
    -similar goals
    -people who seem fun
    -around my age
    -live close to me

    Don't know why those who sent me FRs picked me, but I'm glad you did...you rock!! :bigsmile:
