    Usually if I see someone posting about martial arts that looks interesting, or maybe someone posts something clever on chitchat.


    NO DUCKFACE.

    I pick people new to the site or people I know....the more support the better...like seeing the variety of people from my area and surrounding states, too

    I usually wait for an invitation and don't normally invite friends, but.............

    I have a soft spot for families of servicemen.

    I like those that exhibit a little wit.

    Like people that call me out when I'm full of *kitten*.

    Got an interest in the Culinary Arts, Martial Arts or Bikers? I like that too.

    Beautiful girl? My friend's list is full of them.

    I pick people if they look funny (funny 'haha', not funny 'peculiar) or if they're in the UK so we have the same supermarkets/brands or if they're doing something that interests me (ie in the past, Dukan, or whatever). But I'll pretty much accept anyone!

    I add everyone that sends me a request, except males in respect for my fiance. I've only FR a couple people myself but it's usually someone who seems nice and is similar age or similar weight loss goal.

    I probably should try to find more friends to because I comment on everyone's achievements and no one really comments on mine. =/ Haha. It would suck if I really needed support, but I feel motivated enough by my reflection in the mirror.

    I won't accept a request without a note. A lot of people are just into numbers and I want to be friends with people that I can find a true connection with through common goals and interests......

    Usually if they're close in size to me and have the same goals as me. Its gotten easier with the group feature now. I like to add people that are already at their goal weight, etc, as I am too.
    Or hot guys of course lol

    I usually respond to something someone says or to someone who's been very successful with weightloss or overall fitness. I tell them to friend me if they wish. Most people I keep as friends but I have let a few go because they were not people who were helpful to me.

    I like my friends to be
    Hot
    Funny / Sarcastic
    Serious about loosing weight
    They have to be good at spelling and grammar and punctuation
    I rarely send friend requests because I love the friends I have, and want to maintain my interactions with them.
    Regular updates about your TOM is also essential to stay on my FL

    I'm very passive- The only people I've added are ones I've been in challenges with or know in real life. I think most of my friends found me through my blog entries, which still strikes me as odd. I'm not very rah rah and don't comment on other's statuses much, so I'm rather surprised that so many people have kept me after the initial adding.

    I’m a big fan of people with personality disorders so that’s how I choose generally. That or if they’re prepared to buy me chips (fries).

    I like to pick funny people who make me laugh, but not too funny because they make me feel not so funny, and I like to try and be funny...but I am serious!!

    I accept anyone that requests me but I pick people usually that have something in common with me.. Just starting out, age range, motivational people especially BC i am always commenting on other peoples stats and I love when I get comments, It helps me to push through the hard times.

    I usually accept requests but will delete if no activity for a period of time or no comments/supportive activity, just to keep list manageable. I prefer a message before I accept. If no message, chances are, no acceptance. When I request it is because of 1) common interests, 2) Funny/active posts I have seen on boards or someone who will joke around, 3) Someone I think I can help make a difference with 4) People of the same generation with like problems.
