not, but lingerie is..... and that goes for men again as well...I delete if:
-they eat more cookies in a day than me (if they can pull it off, they are NOT trying to diet)
-they are stuck up
-they say "you offended me and you should know why"... I don't know why.. adios
-they promote cleansing, dr oz, or any beach body product
-they have poor taste in sports teams
-they don't show suffcient skin.. that goes for the men on my FL too
-they tell me they are a lawyer in every topic they make
-they favor emotion over logic
-they don't respect Chuck Norris and MacGyver
-they say I'm too picky
-they agree with everything I say
-they are hypocritical
-they don't read this post and write "bacon" on my profile to prove it
are pants a requirement?0 -
Best thing to do to avoid all this nonsense, don't add anyone you don't personally know. Problem solved!
If anything, I'd be deleting my RL friends and family first.
Whiners.0 -
Sorry if this feels bad in some way, but the only people I have deleted is those who overexercise/post they have burned 4 digit calories doing something I considered a cheat-device a.k.a Elliptical
, I feel sad like if people lie to themselves.
This. I know someone who I deleted that kept posting every day that they were burning over 1500 calories per exercise yet tried to say I was lying when I posted a 965 calorie burn (I use an HRM and it's accurate) so I'd know what I burned.0 -
It makes me sad when I get deleted on here. This is a place of support. When people don't want to support me every day, it really feels like "What is this all about?" It hurts. I mean, I do my best. I say WTG!, Good job! Great burn! Way to stay under! every time my friends post something. I'm a good friend. I'm supportive. I care about people and only want people to care back about me. I really wish anyone who deleted me would just give me an explanation as to why? I've lost sleep over this because I can't help but wonder if I was supportive enough or not. It's tough. Keep your chin up and keep moving. There are supportive people on MFP.
YOU deleted ME!
NO I DIDN'T!
yes, you're not on my FL anymore......0 -

And that Sandwich farter guy did too!0 -
-They are inactive
-They don't reciprocate motivation
-When there is NO CONNECTION
Why keep them? I am not here to make everyone happy... I am here for me not the slackers who aren't serious about this.0 -

I've never unfriended anyone, but I've been unfriended before (most likely because of a period of inactivity). I completely understand why other MFP users delete inactive friends, but I guess I just kind of feel like my friends who haven't logged in for a while have their reasons and will need support when they come back. I might unfriend someone if they were trying to sell me things though. I could see how that would be annoying. Hasn't happened yet.0

I've been on here less than a month.....................and I've already deleted 5 people. I only have 18 friends of now, and 2 of them I "attained" in the last few days, and 2 more friend requests I denied, with a nice little note to go with it.
Here's my deal................I use to have my profile on "public, so you could see my "about me" section that clearly states I'm not here for a popularity contest, I want supportive ppl on my friends list, I'll be supportive back, yada yada yada...............but I actually took the time to write all this. They friend me, and still I remind them to read my about me section. They all agree, and what do you know.............the only time they comment me is when I say I'm going to the beach, or something personal............which is cool, I guess, but I'd rather get some, "hey good job working out" or what not. For me personally, I was coming to the realization that they were interested more in my personal life than anything else. I might of been a tad bit flirty with some of them in the forums, but I'm just having a good time. If I added every person I interacted with in a forum, I'd be the coolest guy on here...........I'm kidding................I also like a small friends list so I can keep my commitment to my friends, about being supportive, commenting, and so. Accountability is BIG to me.
Maybe some of the ones I deleted were not intentional avoiding my "workout" and food log sections, but there friends list are so big, there wall is probably constantly moving. So have the some incredibly "off the wall" comments about whats going on in the forums, on there personal wall. Too much for me.
I have even apologized to my friends for possibly "blowing up" there wall with all my posting's to different topic's that show up on there wall. Most responded very nicely, and assured me it's no probably. MOST of my friends, have a short friend list as well, most are married, and or, way more mature than me, most of the time.
This isn't Myspace or Facebook to me, although I've never been on Facebook, I've been told this is similar in many aspects(damn it).
Someone told me about this website, and I joined for the health aspect. I've obviously learned there's a lot more to it then health, ie: I'm responded to someone asking why his friends list got shorter. I'm down with messing around, I guess, but I'm also figuring out your not suppose to say too much here. A lot of feelings get hurt, and there's obviously some sort of fantasy responses to some of these forums, my opinion.
My main reason here is to get healthy, not popular.
This, of course, is my reasons.
happy friend hunting!
I have 16 friends, not 18, and the newest are always on the ropes............0 -
i've only deleted one person..
she was on the verge of a eating disorder, i tried to talk her out of the "Skinnygirl" unhealthy diet.
and she wouldnt listen..but, basically she ate 300 calories everyday and i was worried about her.
I've deleted only one and it was for the same reason above.. Kept getting updates on her binging and purging and how much she hated herself.
yeah! hey, maybe we had the same friend?! lol0 -
I make my friends take a compatibility test every 4 weeks, and I cut those under 70%.0
-
I've deleted people because I ended up with little 16 year old girls lying about their age on here whining about 16 year old girl's problems.... not much for me to say there. And people who eat like, 700 calories a day, every day and whine about feeling fat simultaneously. I guess I don't like whiners! And when I offer any kind of constructive feedback, they don't respond. I like fun, encouraging people who I can encourage back.0

Reasons I've deleted friends:
-dude has a tumblr full of pictures of his junk that he'd like me to check out
-constant status updates about anything and everything clogging up my feed
-whining about their latest "binge" and what a failure they are every other day
-dudes with TMI about their man parts and sexual escapades
-da giRRRLz dat tyPE LYke dis0 -
Just people will terrible, terrible self destructive habits who post disturbing things all day and you can't even help because they'd probably blow up at you for saying anything. Like... seriously needs medical help kind of stuff.
It's discouraging to me as well to watch someone do that.0 -
I delete people who have been gone a week or more. if they had announced they were going on vacay that would be a consideration but lately i notice its the same people over and over. I am gonna start deleting people who are absent even just a few days if they continue to do it every week. I feel like logging in isn't that hard and if thy aren't that serious then maybe they aren't the friends for me.
I delete people who are negative. I can't lose weight. I'll be fat forever. Dieting is too hard. Working out is too hard. Arrrgggghhh shut up already!!!
sometimes I delete people who never interract with me. not usually, though I doubt I'd be missed by some. A couple people haven't ever commented on my page0 -
I delete because I can. People delete me, because they can. It's really easy...add me and I'll show you
I missed this the first time around...where the frick is my "like" button?!

There needs to be support both ways. If that is not happening then there seems to be little point in continuing the friendship.
This is a good point ^^^^^^0 -
I delete friends that are out for more than a week and do not respond to a message inquiring if they are ok. I don't mind people updating their status frequently, if that is what they like to do.
I do expect the same consideration and encouragement as I give, on exercise I want to see "nice job, Way to Burn, Good Going, etc" and on good diary goal days "good job, nice, etc.", but just as important I want to see "holy **** John what were you thinking?" when I blow a goal. Quite frankly it seems like everyone is there for encouragement and support when you succeed, but when you fail no one is there to kick you in the butt and get you back on track and that is when you need the support the most. I am not a "that's ok, tomorrow is a new day" kind of person, that kind of thinking is why your fat *kitten* out of shape body is here in the first place. I am more of a "you don't need to go to bed, you need to go for a walk and burn off some of those bad choices" person. I realize not everyone appreciates having someone tell them they screwed the pooch and need to straighten up, or g@d forbid you tell them "you are a bit light on the calories, eat something", stand back and wait for the lightning bolts to shoot through the monitor. That is how I support, that is what I like from my friends, if they sign on but turn out not to be a good fit, then we separate, no hard feelings, not everyone is meant to be everyone's friend on here, or in person.
Lastly, I delete if they do not have an open diary to their friends. I can not, in good conscience tell someone what a wonderful job they are doing by being under their calorie goals if I can not see what they are eating. Eating a cube of cheese a day is under most peoples calorie goals, it is not "Good Job" material. I know some folks say "My Diary is my business and no one else's", so be it, those people are not my friends. This is a fitness site, the goal is to become healthier (well for most anyway) and not, necessarily, to be the most popular. In terms some will understand, no one likes a Drill Sergeant; until they realize that what he helped you to become saves your life.
Have a Great Day!0 -
I like to make my friends list battle..hunger games style. The winner gets to keep me as a friend..and live.0
-
If they're attention *kitten*, if they aren't interactive, if they put up images of themselves that I don't want to see popping up on my work computer, or if they send me gross messages.0
-
Rarely do I delete (haven't logged on in weeks upon weeks) - I'm typically the one deleted.
For instance, a few weeks back I traveled out of the country - very VERY minimal internet use and told the friendzo's so. Like 15 people deleted me... why? For not logging in and interacting. Two way street - you want interaction, read the g'damn status!0 -
They friend me, and still I remind them to read my about me section. They all agree, and what do you know.............the only time they comment me is when I say I'm going to the beach, or something personal............which is cool, I guess, but I'd rather get some, "hey good job working out" or what not. For me personally, I was coming to the realization that they were interested more in my personal life than anything else.
I'm the exact opposite. I do better when I form a connection, and for me, the people that give me generic "wat to go" or "great burn" comments are annoying because you don't really care, you saw an update and posted some filler that is interchangeable with anyone else on your list. It drives me nuts. I want real internet friendships!0 -
I haven't ever deleted anyone. I think the only reasons that I would are A) trying to sell me *kitten*, or
someone who is a pervert and trying to pick me up. Other than that, I'm not uber-serious about the whole "internet friends" thing. It's nice to have people to talk to, but I'm not going to get my butt chapped if somebody doesn't log in for 2 weeks, because it's their life and they can log if and when they want to. I'll be here when they get back 0 -

I mostly only delete people when they haven't logged in for over a month. If it's someone I felt connected to I give them a little more time, maybe up to 3 months. I have some family and friends that joined and never log on but I don't delete them, lol. I have also deleted people that I find annoying or that have what seems like an unrepairable (is that a word) negative attitude. I can ***** and whine with the best of 'em, but I don't need it coming from someone else every single post every single day!0
-
If they are gone for an extended period or if they have a habit of disappearing for days at a time.
If they bring drama to my feed. Troubles are inevitable and I'm happy to support through them but if your life is one big drama fest, goodbye.
If they don't 'get it'. If they are eating pure crap and complaining about not losing weight, I don't want to listen to them.
If they are emo, because it makes me want to punch them in the face.0 -
I delete people when they don't log in for a long time, or when they refuse to really do anything to help themselves lose weight (or when they are trying to lose too much, and are on the verge of an eating disorder).0
