Unfriending???

I wonder how many MFP users ever go through their friends list and weed out a few of the folks on their list. I just went through my friends list and unfriended a few that I never hear from. I keep my list purposely short so that I can respond to each person's status updates, etc. and feel like I'm actually supporting them. I suppose the number of "friends" that someone can support varies from person to person, but Ifind it a little irritating to respond to someone's friend request and then have that the last i ever hear from them- especially if I've been responding to their posts. I do, however, have a few friends on MFP who do truly put in the time and effort to support others on their friend list. They are gems.

I don't. I don't have many friends and am careful to add only if I feel I can support. I'm not truly a "nice" person and am very much a loner in real life (not in a creepy way but I like my personal time) so it is a bit harder for me to friend people with whom I feel no connection other than weight loss.

On the flip, I also lack tack, so if a person "unfriends" me, it's not an issue. Everyone on here deserves to feel comfortable in their journey so that they might continue on.

My friends list fluctuates weekly. I accept all friend requests...then once in a while I just go through my list and randomly whack people for no reason. My ultimate goal is to eventually friend and whack every user of MFP. they call me the mad whacker.....

Nice, Mike! And we just friended each other, too! Hah!!

I'm a fan of unfriending people who haven't logged on in a long time - this site isn't for everyone, even those with the best of intentions when they first start out, so no harm done if you're just cleaning up your list to keep it manageable.

Now to go unfriend bikermike before he unfriends ME!
