    To my fellow male mfp'ers, do you have more men or women as friends? I seem to have ended up with mostly women friends, which is great, but I don't want to come off looking like I only look for women friends on here. I often go through my friends list and delete people not active for over a month and maybe that's where I've dropped a lot of guy friends.
    I'm always looking for new people for motivation, feel free to add me. Good luck with all your goals.

    I'm in the same boat as you. Alot of my guy friends I've had on here have either deactivated or they had not logged in for over a month or so and I took them off my list.

    But although I do have a lot of female friends, its not like I went out and added all of them. Some have added me. =D lol

    dude you must never exceed a 4:1 female to male ratio on you're friends list, also it's good if you make sure you have 1 guy on you friends list on the front page. This will assure girls that you're only on MFP to lose weight and get in shape, and not just hope to see some side boob when the chicks update their profile pictures.

    Well said!!!
    I have denied guys who may have been pretty awesome b/c they seemed like "collectors".

    Mostly women for me....but that's purely based on the fact that most guys are intimidated by my awesome. And they can't take jokes well. In the real world, my ratio of women to men friends is about 8:1:smokin: ...no need to change. My focus is getting healthier...and I can help motivate, encourage, and make others feel good about themselves while doing so - but I have to say...telling a dude...man, your abs are hot...just doesnt sound right.:noway:

    MFP has GOT to have like at least a 10 to 1 ratio of women to men or more. If you looked at my FL a few months ago - only 10 or so of the 150 friends I had were dudes. Same 10 are still there though after the culling.

    I am a self proclaimed proud collector.

    But that is only because my friends have an uncomfortable clown fetish.

    I have 69 friends all women! I have tried to get male friends on here but for some reason they drop me off their list. I like talking to dudes about sports and fitness stuff but for some reason, It just doesnt work out or whatever! I've had dude requests but some requests have been strange! Ok, if you are going to FR another guy, let him know why you want him to be on your list like, "hey I also love to play basketball", or "hey, I I want to add you cause I need to improve on some muscle growth and I think you could help". Or something like that I dont know.

    I have great friends that are mostly women, yes. The guy friends feel awkward when I flirt with them! :laugh:

    Me too. Although I do have a fair amount of guy friends. This place is dominated by women, so the ratio will certainly be skewed.


    hahhaa. Women have taken over MFP.

    Not enough men on here, I know. I mainly have girls on my list.

    IRL, I get along better with women, not men. There is a reason God gave me daughters.

    choosing whether to accept half naked man friends on here always puts me between between Dwayne Johnson & a hard place.

    I was in a 7+ year relationship with a woman who I loved dearly. During the last year or so of our relationship we both became active with MFP and I started to accrue friends, many of them women. Together, myself and my then fiance would go to the gym in the mornings and I would post my exercise, and my phone would be buzzing with comments/feeback. She was never trusting of me but had nothing to fear, and she began to suspect I was up to something. It breaks my heart to think she felt so little of me, especially when I was prepared to spend my life with her. I see nothing wrong with having friends of any sex, origin, or background - and the support offered here by complete strangers is tremendous and has helped me achieve my goals. It's unfortuanate that what I thought was a strong bond was truly built on a house of cards. Good luck!

    Gotta have trust. Did you hand her the phone and say you have nothing to hide? My wife knows everything about me... and knows she has my heart. Yes, I do openly flirt, but only in a jokingly matter, and never hide it. She doesn't give me too much grief over my MFP "girlfriends"... because it's not reality, just fun.

    I've been thinking that in my real life I have a higher proportion of male friends - maybe 30% ish meno to women and including gay of both genders, so my MFP profile isn't quite in keeping with that. But I suppose it's a rather limited form of contact. I'm immensely grateful for all my MFP friends - but of any chaps out there who would like to add me for (non-flirty) support please feel free to send me an invite!

    a lot (not all), but a lot of guys I see regularly are what I consider "meatheads."

    "Dude, you gotta drink a 100g protein shake every morning or you'll be fat!"
    "Whatcha bench?"

    Oh, and spewing all sorts on gym nonsense on a regular basis. Not needed. That being said, I've got 9 male freinds. And so far, none seem to be a meathead!

    The majority seem to be female. And they're the cool females, too, almost all arrived by virtue of the weeping angel and all.

    I have much more female to male friend in mpf but outside in reality the story is different.
    Well, I confess watching women's beautiful shape inspire me more than watching men.

    I am really curious to know what do girls do? Which one they prefer ? Do the like to be noticed by males mostly or females?


    I like to have more female friends on MFP because their goals (and problems) are often similar to mine.I find it more inspireing when I see one of them reach (or solve) them.

    Also men are way easier to impress.If a girl props or compliments me it means more to me because in most cases I had to work quite hard to achieve it.
    Once I tried to give my opinion and some advice to a lady in mfp . she felt I am tring to insult her !and delet me of her friends list.

    And pesonally when a female compliment me I become more cheered up than a man do.
    Some people are more sensitive to people's opinions. I'd rather have them delete me as I don't want cry babies on my list. I want intelligent people on my list who can take and give their opinions without getting their feelings hurt.

    yes, she was given the phone and chose not to look, i guess she didn't want the facts to get in the way of what was in her mind. Her trust issues were there long before me, and I suspect won't change. she hooked up with someone new rather quickly, and it's a shame. she lost a good guy who really loved her - and now it's someone else's issue to deal with.

    Too much math. How am I supposed to figure all that out. It's not like I had a double major in college or something....

    I would friend you cause I'm too lazy to do the math but it might upset your male:female ratio. LOL
