    Ooooh, one of the cool kids. Lol

    What is one supposed to say? "You're body is hot & it's motivating me so let's be friends."?


    oooops meant to quote

    this was for the OP

    um... I'm sorry if that's how I came across, but all I was saying is I'd like to know why or if there would be a connection. No need to be ugly over my silly request.


    ETA: I never said I was a cool kid....

    Ugly? :cry:


    NO!!! You are not PHYSICALLY ugly. Your words about me being a "cool kid" thinking I'm better than others was ugly. I genuinely try to support all of my friends, so I found that hurtful. :cry:
    My apologies. It was really meant as a light hearted joke with no real depth to it.

    oh ok, I'm sensitive. By the way, you don't look like you need a great deal of help there, sir. But, support is always nice.


    Aww me too.
    Why thank you! I have come a long way though. I looked 12 months pregnant last year lol (only slightly exaggerating)
    And I can say the same for you Miss Swim Suit :blushing:

    :blushing: thanks :blushing:

    I think you guys need to write concise and properly worded friend requests to each other =P

    I KEED KEED!

    i want to be your friend because you look sexy

    haha i just put a smiley face with mine if i dont have a 'real' reason. if people send a blank one to me i look at their profile and then decide if i want to add them. its really not a big deal to me.

    I only accept blank FR where the picture shows a speculum in use.
    After all, it's what's inside that counts.

    Denied! I mean.... is it really that hard to say why we should be pals? You make me feel like a real assmonkey hitting decline, so pretty please don't make me feel that way, because I really don't like it.... k, thanks! :drinker: :bigsmile:

    Ha. I'll never include a message.

    MFP says all I need it too "mackeric would like to be friends..."

    Clearly, we have something in common, or else we wouldn't be here.

    i really would like to know why the hell someone is friend requesting me in the first place.

    ITS YOUR BOOBS. :tongue:

    I'm not trying to be an asshat, nor do I dislike your pic (think it's great actually) but yeah, that's why people don't say anything and just request you.

    You too OP. Poster who denied 11 in one day - it's your flat tummy and undie shot :laugh:

    Anyone who sends me at least a message as to why they've sent the friend request I'll usually accept. However if it's from someone I've interacted with on the boards I will accept it without a message. I have it on my profile to please send a message with the friend request so it is a bit weird for someone to request friendship that I've never interacted with in some way.

    Instead of deleting the a blank request I simply ignore it waiting to see if I interact with the person in future. So far it has yet to happen.

    I'll answer honestly. If it's a new person, I will accept a blank friend request. Maybe they don't know the etiquette yet and need some buddies. I may change this some day if my list gets out of control - but if so, I'd make a note in my profile.

    If it's someone whose been here a while, I want a note - although usually that happens.

    I accept any and all friend requests. I usually put a message when I ask for a friend request.

    I hate messageless friend requests ALMOST as much as I hate profiles that say "Don't send friend requests" or "tell me why we should be friends".

    Just sayin'

    Denied two blank ones just now.

    I equate it to trying to be friends with someone by walking up and standing next to them. Not saying a word. Just being there. Kind of strange...

    :laugh: This! I never thought of it that way but it's a great analogy.

    so when I go and look at their profile to figure out why they want to friend me is that like I pull out their wallet and start looking through there to see if I like the contents?

    I'll accept people with no message. I've got bigger issues in life to worry about, LOL :happy:

    Gosh I never have sent a friend request! I have sent many messages telling the person that
    I have enjoyed reading their food diary, I can learn a lot from it. I like their weight loss etc.
    I have become friends with most that I have shared messages with. I would never ask anybody
    to be my "friend" without having first made a connection. And I hope no one ever sends me a
    blank friend request, because I just will have to skip it. Please be polite and make an introduction. Friends here should not be treated like playing cards. We are working too hard for that. Collect friends if you must, but perhaps Facebook would be a better place for that.
    Thank you and wishes of success to each of us. :) Gina

    I deny almost all requests without a message. On occasion I will send a message asking how they found my profile?

    Since I try to maintain a very small list, I deny most requests anyway

    I've only denied one person, and that was because I'd seen her make a total *kitten* monkey out of herself on the forums.
    I don't really care if they send a message, If people are rude or inactive I just delete them, no skin off my back.

    Those and people who hide their diary from you.

    honestly, I don't see the point in reaching out for friends on here who can't help you if they don't know where you might be going wrong.

    You know with the diary thing, how do you make it public to all? Because my profile was open before, but I made it friends only now, but IDGAF if people see my diary. Is there a way of having a private profile with an open diary?

    Right before my last reply in this thread, I took the time to send someone a message asking them how they found my profile in order to send me a FR. The young lady read the message and didn't bother to respond. I decided to check out her friends and did find one we have in common. I figure she saw my profile earlier when I commented on my friends exercise. I browsed the other comments to see if this young lady was supportive of my friend. NOPE.

    DENIED!!!!!!! :explode:
