    I've never denied a friend. I'm a friendly person and love to have more encouragement and more people to encourage. I love having people of all different parts in their journey, I have people who are just maintaining, people who are just toning, people who have a little to lose, people who have a whole bunch to lose, it's just nice to see where people are. I'm always open for new friends :). But I do talk a lot because I enjoy interacting on here.

    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.
    OP, I can give you two reasons. First, I noticed your smile as soon as I opened this thread. If you are not in sales or customer service of some kind (where you interact with people face-to-face), you should be, because you would be awesome.

    Second, your username is juicymama.

    I usually send an invite to people who are either inspiring, or have a great sense of humor. I am pretty silly myself so I like people that can appreciate newsfeed clogs with a bunch of nonsense. I also like adding people who do the same things I do diet/exercise wise. I like interacting with others, so i do not limit myself to the basic *good job, high five*

    I accept invites from everybody -- no reason to knock it 'till you try it! :)

    I have no set standard. If I get a message with the FR, I'm very likely to accept the request. If I don't, I may or may not accept it, depending on my mood. Odds are, if you annoy me or are non-existant on here, I'll probably delete them anyways.

    My friends typically fall into 2 categories:
    -those with similar goals, or a good success story, motivating and encouraging.
    -those who make me laugh and I can allow my freak to come out.

    What is great are those who are both.


    I must fall into the second catagory :bigsmile:

    I'll accept anyone that requests me :)



    ^^^ This. And I have to hope they've read the disclaimer cause I gots potty mouth.

    I accept everyone because they have the right to delete themselves at will. And partially because I'm a *kitten* like that.
