    When I joined, I knew a couple of people on here already. Quite a few of the people on my friends list are mutual friends of theirs, and it's worked out great. They're supportive, and make me laugh.
    Some of the people on my friends list I "met" here on the message boards. Those adds are usually because they say something awesome or a have a mutual interest. I prefer friends who are serious about getting healthy, but can also be fun and personal with their statuses.

    Worthy Pals on here make the effort to log in or have a damn good reason when they don't. If you're not here for 3 months at a clip, I can't be supportive of you and you can't be supportive of me. I also have Pals who actually post and respond to updates. :)

    I try to keep MFPals who are optimistic and who also put some effort into trying to eat healthier and maybe exercise. I am also friends with people who take accountability and ownership for "slipping" and who don't throw hissy fits about how they accidentally ate a lonely potato chip and now the world's gonna come crashing in. My Pals seem to keep things realistic.

    I have different friends for different reasons:

    Some of them are friends because they are focused on their goals, know their *kitten*, and teach me things by being awesome

    Some of them are friends because they make me laugh, or laugh at my jokes, or just have a great sense of humor

    Some of them are people I just love, for one reason or another, but it has to do with getting along, having things in common, etc.

    must have common goals
    must log in fairly consistantly,
    cannot have a ton of friends (again lost in the shuffle),
    cannot be selling something ...

    someone who is motivational ...

    what people like to say: if your positive, motivational and an inspiraion to others then I would love to have them as a friend here on MFP.

    what I'd like to say: if you're 2 comments away from being a hilarious nut case...the i'll probably request you as a friend.

    understanding of deep sarcasm, very little drama, and the ability to make me snort Cherry Coke Zero out my nose

    but what if my sarcastic drama makes you snort Pepsi Max out your nose?

    mutal fondness of tacos, hookers, and blow.

    Can I stick some bacon in the taco?

    hmmmm, bacon in my taco....yes, I think that would be lovely.

    Don't forget, zucchini goes great in tacos as well.

    My MFP friends are more on the comical side, who are sarcastic, vulgar and know how to have fun. I don't need people telling me I'm doing a good job every ten minutes...I know I am lol. I want to come back on here everyday to see what stupid **** they are saying...they know who they are haha

    I also like my MFP friends to be the type to have hundreds of days logged in, in a row. 80% of my friends list is female for some reason. I don't usually add people and let them come to me...sweet!

    Common interests, looking to be motivated, or motivate. I don't feel that anyone needs to send a message.

    I have sent out very few friend requests, could probably count them on one hand. When I do, I always include some sort of message. As far as receiving, friend requests, they don't need to have a message for me. I accept all. Now if you don't interact with me ever, aren't taking your fitness seriously or don't log in for two weeks without responding to my messages... I cut you.
