    Y'know what's creepier?

    When you're an 18/19 year old girl and you get friend requests from suspicious looking middle age dudes who want to see a "progress" pic of you in your underwear.

    Ahem. Yeah.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA! Tell the middle aged dudes that! They don't see how pathetic they look! lol

    Anyone can help motivate you....It is not like the site is setup to be like match.com or eharmony. It is a place where people of all ages can come to support the similar goals of fitness and healthy living. I guess what I'm saying is that it doesn't bother me how old or young someone is for the purposes of this site.

    and..... end scene

    I know I am going to get a lot of **** for this but sadly a lot of girls that age need male attention and dont really care where they get it, they want guys to drool over them and tell them how hot they are.

    Geez I dont get any

    Me neither- from either gender. Maybe I need a sexier picture. But this one is probably more exceptable than my normal skull on the bookshelf picture.

    This may be a dumb question, and I accept that. But how do you tell who friend collects? I don't put that much thought into it, I just accept requests. Which may have just opened me up to friend collectors. :laugh:

    I'm not looking to hookup with anyone so I don't care what their ages are. I add anyone.

    Maybe it's because your half-face pictures are so hipster.

    I'd never request you though, you're way too old.








    Juuuuust kidding!

    This is what I was thinking...or they just have a thing for older men.

    I've come to realize if it says they're 18 or 19, they're likely really younger than that but lied to get on the site. Same situation with Facebook.

    18 yr old girls friend everybody and their mother, their mother's mother, their father, their father's uncle and the neighbor down the street. I'm a school bus driver...trust me on this. They don't realize that middle-aged guys are NOT to be trusted! I accept their requests b/c I work with kids and ultimately I'd like to help teens lose weight since I lost my weight as a teen. Any 20-something who friends me and starts tryin to flirt with me, I tell them right away I am NOT a cougar! lol

    Every time I get a request of an 18 year old girl wearing a string-bikini, I half-expect Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC to jump out of my pantry and say, "Why don't you have a seat... right over here."

    That made me LOL.

    Taking on a general level - it depends on the person.
    At 32 now I have friends on facebook around that age that'll I'll happily converse with.
    At the indoor climbing centre a friend of mine was coaching a couple of teenagers (12/13 and 14/15 at a guess) - when I asked how to do a route my friend got the younger to show me. I later got chatting with this kid who showed me some tips and techniques as well as generally chatting about climbing.

    I find there's plenty of people my age that act less mature and I'd less want to talk to than plenty of 'youngsters'.
    As a single bloke however, I do try and be careful who exactly I talk to thanks to popular hysteria.

    What's even creepier?? When those same men ask to see MY progress pics in my pink Speedo. How did they know it was pink?

    I'm fairly sure that I don't come off as the "I need motivation and a hug" type.

    Sadly, I don't. It's odd and bothersome. I know I could have my ManCard revoked for saying such a thing, but it's true.

    I would think your ManCard should be revoked if you felt otherwise. :drinker:
