    Mike, with all due respect, this should be the one place where someone can come without someone like you telling them something makes them look bad! There also might be 1 or 2 people here who have dealt with rejection (ya think?) and if they are more comfortable asking people to take the step to friend them, so what? We're all working our own programs and should know that we can't work or control anyone else's.

    Did everyone notice that he has lost 200 pounds in less than a year? His MFP page has his blog listed and it is incredible. Check it out. It's a great story.

    LOL thanks for the plug but its more important to beat me up right now because Im a *kitten*. It went the complete opposite direction from what I intended but it was fun either way. Glad you read my blog and liked it. Thanks for the support. :flowerforyou:

    I loved the fast food failure. I might try it just for the fun of it. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard at a story that I was just reading. It's funny how one statement can get so many replies. I think it might be a MFP record.

    I see whats going on here. OP posted his opinion so he could stir everyone up. Then he comments on everyone's post acting innocent and making himself seem like a good guy... Is this just your own way of 'begging for friends'?

    Just saying :/

    Yes Im a mean guy that needs friends to help me lose weight. Will you be my friend?

    Ok, everyone stop paying attention to this post and haul your butts over to mine. I'm clearly making an attempt to steal this post's thunder, and if people don't start responding to the "I don't like Non cat lovers" post, then it won't work now will it?!?!

    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? "Please be my friend?" "Looking for friends" "Please be my friend?" CUT IT OUT!!!! You dont need to beg people to be your friend on here. Just look at topics that may interest you and request if you feel like doing so! This is annoying! ugh!!!

    With all that being said.... Anyone want to be my friend? Im J/K I just felt that would be perfect to add at the end of my post. LOL

    Seriously though cut it out. Makes you look thirsty when you start post like that.

    Well now, this was special.

    LOL. Im glad you liked the blog. This is not a record but I have gotten called a retard, *kitten*, idiot more than ever in my life. This is fun. I love how passionate everyone here is. It brings a tear to my eye.

    Hey this could be really offensive. No one is begging, were asking. How else are you suppose to get friends? Take in consideration of the feelings of people reading this before you post **** like this.

    I'm new to MFP. Up to now everybody have been great and I've learned many helpful things to help me reach my "healthy living" goal. I'm glad MFP exists. FYI, requesting for friends doesn't mean begging for friends. I don't beg for friends, especially not to you. I don't appreciate intimidation and discouraging comments.

    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.

    Absolutely agreed.

    That would be awesome brother! My hair stopped growing on top of my head so all I have is my beard. Yours is way more awesome but I think you should do the ponytail as well.

    I actually agree with you. Those annoy me too. I don't get on here to make friends. I mainly just use the site to log calories and exercise. I rarely read the forums and usually only the ones I think might be helpful to me in my struggles to lose weight and get fit, but there are an overwhelming number of the "friends" threads and I often wonder if those people miss the whole point here. Or maybe I am missing it. Who knows?

    You are absolutely right!!! Friends are a bonus if they are trully doing what they are supposed to be doing. If not they might as well just stick to facebook. But Obviously I have caused to much trouble with this post so I am getting ready to go to bed after I eat this cookie dough. To many people called me mean so Im going to consume 24 squares of raw cookie dough!! Choclate Chip.
