what category of FL do you have
i can think of a few categories.
My category - all honest to god "friends" with one exceptiong, i always have newbies and give a week or two to work, after that, they are either in or out, I like every single one of their personalities. none of them were selected on hottness (okay a small handful) but the majority, why they can also be hot, i think their personalty is the reason. and we all talk and play around and ever support. except newbies, there is no on i either don't like or whom I don't talk to.
the collector men, female or both
because they are HOT for whatever reason, but they were picked because the requestor thought they were hot - sole basis
the this-is-all-about-fitness! group of friends. if you aren't WTGing! on everythind, you are out.
the really mis-matched FR created fro m a silly "add me for no reason" thread
ok - what group (make on up if not up here) does your FLs belong to?

for the most part...honest to God friends. many even have my cell number and we text/email/kik regularly.
I
my friends!
Including you gorgeous!0 -
HONEST TO GOD FRIENDS - though more than one started out because they were hot. If they have no substance to back it up, they didn't last though.0
-
MOSTLY all "honest to goodness friends" but...
I have sent two friend requests solely because the guys were smokin' hot - but I did tell them in the FR that I was being shallow and they probably shouldn't accept - they did anyway, so now I have more eye candy.
I've also accepted a few solely for hotness sake, but got rid of them if they didn't have a fun personality to match.
And I have a couple of friends who were with me from the beginning that I don't interact with much but keep them around because, well, they've been here with me forever.0 -
Honest to god friends. I really could see myself meeting and loving each and everyone of them in person as much as I do online.0

Mine is a combination of fitness knowledge and/or good sense of humor and/or fun personality in general.0

combination of "because they are hot" and "add me for no reason"
i've stalked down a few particularly sexy people, but most of my friends saw me post something snarky/insightful/retarded and decided to send me a friend request.
and i friend anyone who adds a message to the request so
it's pretty mismatched0 -
Honest friends, a few hot ppl, and the rest are here for the love of Bacon0
-
Mine is such a combo...
I've been told I have some damn good eye candy on my FL which is HELLA good motivation!
and then are those that I can be my raunchy, tit/*kitten* showing chick with the mentality/sense of humor of a teenage boy and they laugh along with me as well as telling me "good job" or "sweet burn" from them too!!
Yay to my AMAZINGLY AWESOME FRIEND LIST!!! :drinker: :drinker: 0 -
My FL is a bunch of random... And I like that (I'm not Very good with friends...)0
-
Holy Moly, Mel:
you're as pale as i am!

Mine are people who have had weight loss surgery like I have. I have found on this site that many are not very supportive of WLS so I choose to be friends to those who have and give the needed support.0
-
I have an eclectic mix. I'm still fairly new so I haven't yet trimmed my list at all, but I don't consider myself a collector. There are a few on my list that I especially favor though for a myriad of reasons. One of which is that they haven't culled ME yet:bigsmile:0
-
Mine are all honest to gOodness frindns excep for a newbie group... I try to keep my FL to about 100 I can keep p with that. I usually ony friend thise woth common friends.0
-
I'm a newbie. Most all of mine I sent the request. A couple sent FR to me.
Brains, looks and personality my friends have all three!!
I hand picked them. Reading through the threads.
I liked their responses...whether it be knowledge or humor.
Oh and yes they lust after bacon like I do...
If you don't have a sense of humor...you're NOT living!!0 -
HONEST TO GOD FRIENDS for the most part they are great and supportive. They motivate me and I talk to some through phone text and starting to train some carrier pigeon to talk to the rest.
I have added some just because they are "hot" or got my attention one way or the other but normally we either get along or we don't.
My friend list has grown but I don't have the heart too delete a lot of them some I talk to on the other side of the world since I hardly sleep at times but when I get to talk to them they are awesome and know how to improve my night.
Did i say some got the add cause they looked hella good :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -

i totally agree. many FR me, so i'll leave anyone around for 1-2 weeks, but if they dont fit in, they are out. i dun't know, i don't see why youd' want a FL that weren't filled with people who actually want to converse and laugh with.0 -
All about fitness0
-
honest to god friends for the most part. and if they don't start that way, they seem to end up there. A few I don't interact with much, but I try to keep up with everyone.0
-
Mix
Mostly friends or soon to be friends. People that are working to improve themselves and are interesting/funny.
then a sub group of guys from a group on here that all have similar issues/lifetsyles as I do. basically aging and fat

That's it right there. We interact with each other. Emotional support, jokes, or just giving each other a hard time. Well mostly that's me lol. I only know them on here. The bottom line is I care and believe they do as well. So we make this journey together.
I'm not that informed but I give a damn about their health as well as mine. Life is good!!!0 -
Mine is too large now. Some I consider close friends, some are there for the fitness and common interests, some because they're fun, some just because they interested me in comments they made, some because they look great, and some that combine some or all of these. Some I seldom or ever interact with, and those I will likely cull at some point.0
-
I'm awful at interacting. But I do consider about half my list to be friends and half to be random supporters that I interact enough with that they haven't deleted me yet....0
-
guessing honest to god friends0

Honest to goodness friends...they are all female...and I didn't pick them based on "hotness" but they all are...
Lots of us know each other from another forum we all were/are on together...we have bonded on many levels..and there is no shame in our game!! Hahah!!
I wouldn't laugh half as much without them. They help keep me sane.

Strictly for fitness. And hotness. And humor. And a few are honest to goodness friends - they are the real hott ones.0
-
Oh...I think I have some from all of those categories!! But I absolutely LOVE my honest to goodness friends!!! (:0
-
A little bit of them all for me, depending on my mood at the time, tried to go for some personal friends, some from my area, some with similar goals, some stolen from other friends for fun or encouraging posts, some just caught my eye, and some randomly because I want diverse experiences and goals to push me when what I think I should be doing doesn't work. Have been so lucky with those that have accepted so far being huge encouragers and blessings in this journey.0
-
Mostly honest to god friends, people that I really want to interact with. None were chosen based on hotness. Not saying they're not, I just don't choose my friends that way.0
-
Overall, my friends list would be the 'For some reason people invite me, but then never talk to me' list.
There's a pretty decent chunk of people there...
The reason I say overall though, rather than completely, is that I have a really solid core group (it's not necessarily 'small') of people that clearly care about me, and that I care about dearly. Many of them have been with me from nearly the beginning, many are relatively new.
They're the reason I'm still here at MFP though.0 -
My FL is a mix. Some from all of those groups. There are some truly amazing, caring, smart, hilarious and just all around beautiful human beings on my friend list. I know I have a top notch group of friends on here. I'm very thankful to have crossed paths with them
I my MFP friends! 0
