Stop Begging For Friends!

jaimrlx

You know I come on these message boards to see constructive things that can be beneficial to all. Why do I see the same topic over and over every single day?

Seems to me that you havent yet seen the other forum topis. Like Weight loss and recipes.
Maybe if you tried heading over to those forums, you'll find what you want. No one is making you click on the Inrtoduction ones. They are people who are new, they are looking for constructive things. Youre not going to find construction in the INTRODUCTION PAGE, genius.

Well Said. :-) Not trying to start an argument as it appears you are. If thats what you want you win. Im not good at arguing. Just stating facts. Ill try not to go kill myself because you hurt my feelings.

Mike,

If you started in a new city, and walked in to a cafe and said "I'm looking for some friends!" and a bunch of awesome happy people all stood up and said "Hell yeah!" it would be pretty cool huh?

Here is the only place someone can broadcast that they just want some friends, and people who give a damn, will actually be their friend, based on the reason for most people being here in the first place.

Ok. Good point.

200lb loss?? Amazing! Mr. Cranky pants has earned his rant! Some people are needier than others. Just skip the needy posts and move on to the inspirational ones. And by the way- please use your 15 minutes of post fame to share your story! I would LOVE to hear how you did it and why! I have a long journey ahead of me and could use inspiration. Congrats on your achievements!

but if i dont beg they wont know how serious i am :sad: and then i will die alone with lots of cats and no friends on MFP.

Wait, who doesn't want lots of cats?

i think the real question here is, how many cats are to many cats?

I didn't feel like reading through everyone's comments, but I feel as though this topic is incredibly idiotic, stupid, foolish, inane, and UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!

1 there is a section called "Introduce Yourself"
2 its called myfitnessPAL, the whole cornerstone of this website is to add people and make friends so you yourself are more responsible
3 I believe having only 5 or 6 friends isn't as effective as having say, 20+, and creating a post asking for friends/motivation/help is an excellent way to gain friends.
3 How DARE you criticize people for wanting to make friends to help them on their journey?

Edit: I read through a couple of your replies, and I see you're not trying to be a douche, but just try to look at both sides of the equation.

You know what really grinds my gears.... people who complain about people

dang, I tried friend requesting everyone from this thread and I mfp said i was requesting too many.

I guess the real question is... Why does it bother YOU so much? You posting about what other people do makes you just as guilty, does it not?

*Stands up in front of judge* I plead guilty.

My cats ARE my friends.

according to google, there is a difference between a cat lover and a cat hoarder. I am not sure the difference because then the pictures of kittys distracted me from reading.

Who cares. People are looking for support in an online community. Don't open those threads if they bother you.

I'm up to 6 new friends! :drinker: AND several of them appear to like kittens!!

MikeDaMotivator

Um.... you do know this is the "introduce yourself" section right? AKA where people should go to find others similar to them, to ADD FRIENDS?

Don't like it, go to other areas of the forums. It's realllll simple.

I just want to tell the people who posted peter griffin and mr. Burgundy: if it were possible, I'd let you have my internet babies. Or at least let you have an internet boobage squeeze if you were so inclined. Family guy and anchorman are 2 of my favoritest things

Were you this mean when you were 200 pounds heavier? No man is an island and everyone needs help at some point. It takes courage to ask. I would hope you would share the story of your success instead of making people feel bad. I am sure people would like to know how you did it. I wouldn't dare ask... I will ask someone else... Have a nice evening :glasses:

Always been the same Mike. I help whoever asks. I think the people who are sending messages like yours missed the whole point of the message. Its ok though. Its my fault.
