Folks, we all know it's just good common sense to include a message with your friend request. So, please, stop sending me and my friends blank requests. There WILL be a test on this later. Class dismissed.

What's your requirement in a friend request? Do they have to mention something you stated in your profile? Share a favorite exercise or similar diet? I know at least one person that requires answers to 3 random questions. I'm considering implementing a personality test.

Personally, I just want to know you are literate and have some sense of humor. Bonus if you're a sarcastic *kitten*. I don't think I ask for much.

    LOVE this...

    I just want to know:

    1) how you found me
    or
    2) why you thought it would be a good idea for us to be friends.

    That's it. I'm not friend collecting, and I REALLY mean it when I say I want to be supportive to my friends, and that I want my friends to be supportive of me, too.

    Why concern yourself over such menial things? I am just glad I am able to inspire others and be inspired, I don't need a message or a justification for a friendship.

    Pretty much both of these....I did accept a blank one today though, more out of curiosity than anything else.

    I don't have requirements. It's a social network, I don't care if people want to be social on it. If someone is so annoying that I have to delete them (which has never happened), then I will.

    Let me admit first that when I first joined MFP (a whopping 3 weeks ago... I'm an old-timer now HA!) I was guilty of sending a blank friend request or two... or forty. I have learned though! I really have!
    What's your requirement in a friend request? Do they have to mention something you stated in your profile? Share a favorite exercise or similar diet?

    I like to know how you found me, and I'd like to have MFP friends that are at a similar point in their journey. If you're 130lbs and 5'7" and your goal is to get to 115lbs and have a thigh gap, I am thrilled for you and I commend your commitment to a healthier you. But I don't think you're gonna be able to relate when I vent about the apron of fat I am trying to lose and how it chafes when I do jumping jacks. Just sayin'...

    1) Found you on MFP - Stating the obvious

    2) Ever thought that people invite you as a friend to follow your posts for advice, or to be inspired by your dedication and discipline...

    I noticed a ton of these people who shed the weight has gained it back in arrogance...

    I prefer the message too. Why would you not send one? Its just courtesy. Mention where and what made ya wanna add. I have even told one or two in the past it was solely cuz they were eye candy. (These didn't work out in the end and I deleted them but point is be honest).
