in Chit-Chat
1) ALWAYS message them how you found them and why you wanna be their friend
2) have something on your page about you, more details the merrier
3) have at least a few photos, preferably ones that look like they belong on a fitness website and are fitness related (before/after, running, etc), not a facebook profile


how NOT to have a successful friend request: have a profile with ONE photo of a hot girl and have NOTHING on your page describing you whatsoever but have dozens or hundreds of friends. Ya, like I really believe you're real.

    Anyone else tempted to send the OP a friend request with no message? :devil: :laugh:

    Tempted, but then if he accepts I'd have to delete him. And that'd be awkward.

    Your photo isn't fitness related. Fail.

    Good thing I don't like following other people's arbitrary rules.

    Well thanks for that invaluable advice.

    Are you able to tell me anything about breathing - is Out first, In first, two Outs and an In? I'm not sure I'm doing it right and don't want to embarras myself by fainting on a run.

    Thanks

    I have a feeling the OP would make an exception for you.

    yes I love this....I get friend request that are blank and Im like ok...why are you befriending me....so I look at the profile to see if they are at least similar to me or have similar goals...and nothing...no info and sometimes not even a picture...I'm not gonna say that you have to send your friend request a certain way, you can do it however you like. But if you are sending me one I will not accept them like that. But I like to have just a few close peeps on here anyway that I can focus on and talk to on a regular basis. I just don't have time to be the supporter I should be to a lot of people. anyway.......
