    I think it's a tad odd to accept a friend request and then they immediately send you a message that includes links to their most recent modelling shoots. Just sayin'

    I always tell them they look good, if they reject request that's for the best because I don't want friends who take themselves too seriously

    OK - I'm a 40 yr old woman and want to say this to all the younger people.....There is a difference between HOT and PRETTY.

    Hot is a result of today's society - its a commodity - its temporary - and any girl can achieve it by clothing and makeup. Ever heard the term "Butter Face"?

    Pretty is a combination of inside qualities & outward appearance - having self respect, brains, morals, taking care of ourselves physically & mentally - something women should aspire to. The "whole package".

    I realize on a site like this when you don't know a person, its hard to tell the difference. So this is more about situations in life. But ladies, if a guy thinks you're pretty, please take it as a much bigger compliment! And when it comes down to it, the guy marries the pretty one!

    So guys - tell us we look pretty! It means so much more.....even if you've been in a relationship for 10 years :)

    I have an 11 yr old daughter and with the influence of today's society, I'm trying to teach her the difference.

    I call bs. Haven't you seen the "rate the person above you" threads? NO ONE on mfp is below a 7. Everyone on here is hot.

    .....do not write it's because ''you look hot''

    it is the fastest way to be declined.

    But thank you for the compliment

    So... how many requests AFTER saying this did you get with just "you look hot" in the message? LOL I was tempted to send one "just because" ;)

    Actually, I think the one time I jumped on there I got like a 6.5, which would make me only slightly warmer than room temperature.

    I am, apparently, the exception to the rule. :sad:

    Oddly enough, however, I have gotten FRs like the one mentioned by the OP

    Haha!!:laugh: I've never actually participated in one of those threads so I have no idea what my "rate" would be. But don't get me wrong - there are times when I'm trying to achieve hotness! Like on weekends when I go out with my GF's, etc. And I think I even put looking hot in a bikini as one of my goals on my profile....It was just a little lesson in life! :smile:

    Loads LOL the best one I got was this one :

    XXXXX would like to become friends.
    "Hi, and welcome to my friend request message.

    Table of Contents
    i) Who Is XXXXX?
    ii) Why You Should be Friends With XXXXX
    iii) Utter Randomness

    i) XXXXX (formally known as XXXX) was a friend of yours in his previous existence. He loves to burn calories and his irreverent wit usually keeps laughter flowing around him like a river of melted cheezewhiz (not the spicy kind though, just the regular stuff). He has the body of an Adonis .. not the Greek God, but there is this guy named Adonis that works down at 7-11, he's a pretty okay lookin' dude.

    ii) Because you're hot.

    iii) When you get an itchy ear do you think it's from your brain vibrating too fast? I read that somewhere, actually I just read that here .. I think I am having deja vu. "

    Agreed.

    I wanted to add her as a friend, but her homepage says she's trying to limit her # of friends to those she can actually encourage on a day to day basis. So I'll just say she's awesome here.

    I saw a guy get a 5. It made me feel sad. Then I ate some chocolate. I didn't feel sad anymore.

    Maybe I should just make sure the two of you (cekeys and mrlazy) comment after me if I go back on that "rate the person above you" thread - you are good for my self-esteem! lol

    Um... some people LIKE the Jack Black look. I'd rate him as at least a 7 - just saying - the humor goes a long way.

    She's right - humor does go a long way. And Jack Black is adorable in "The Holiday" and "School of Rock"

    To Jiggles: But your face DOES kind of look like Jack Black and that's all we have to go on. And anyway Jack Black is BRILLIANT - a talented musician, smart dude and (rumor has it) a really genuinely nice person. That is an extremely ATTRACTIVE package and one with staying power. But OK, I guess that's not the same as being visually "hot"...

    I didn't know there was a 'rule' for sending FR. I'd prefer someone to just be honest. If it's because they think I"m hot, that's fine too. Heck, I'm even guilty of it. I've sent several to guys that I felt were hot. Nice eye candy and more motivation for me to step my game up in the gym!
