MFP Drama that makes me lol....

1) The "don't request me as a friend without a message" people.

LOL, Why does it matter? I am sure females will chime in and go "OMG well if it is a CREEPY guy I don't want him on my list!
Ok, let me help you out:

"Wow this creepy guy just sent me something completely inappropriate....
Ignore;
Delete;

Problem solved.

2) The "I only accept friends who have an open journal people".

rofl, Seriously? News flash, there isn't a huge secret to weight loss, it is cals in versus cals out. So seeing someone's diary and what they are eating is meaningless, just eat less than you burn.

Counterarguments that make me lol:

"But, I want to see FOOD ideas from other people hurr durr"
My guess is that is an excuse to be nosey. If it isnt....

I have a website just for you with millions and millions of food ideas: google.com

Any other form of drama am I missing?

lol, i hear ya bro. I was looking at some profiles and some folks have very strict rules in order to be their "friend" on here. If I gotta jump through hoops to be your friend, i don't need to be your friend.

I couldn't give a fahk if you have pictures or don't have pictures...an open diary or a closed diary...post up everyday or not. If you want to be my freind, i accept all

Seems to me you might be causing more drama by questioning the friendship prerequisites that others have every right to have.

I like when the creepers request me, because I'm worse than them! :blushing:

just as they're allowed to have prerequisites....we can comment on those prerequisites drama free. Obviously a bunch feel the same about it.

how do you even know if someone is creeping you? I'm surprised there's no "who has viewed your profile" counter showing how many times they've viewed.

I inwardly snort "idiot" when I see drama like DON'T BE SO MEAN! DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

I disagree as far as the diary goes. It's not a prerequisite for friendship but when a friend is having success with her or his weight loss, I like to see what kind of food they're eating. Sometimes they use substitutions in meals I never thought of before, or came up with a quick, easy, low-cal dish I want to try. I've only recently (last six months) begun to really cook for myself and eat at home so I enjoy looking at what other people eat.

It isn't all 'cals in, cals out'.

It's about nutrition and good choices, and if you're asinine enough to think that the quality of what you eat does not matter as long as you consume less than you burn, you need to do your research. I'm not here to just lose weight, I'm here to get healthier, as are most people.

Giggle.

This is MFP. This is super serious. Don't you know that who you have on your friend's list reflects who you are as a person? And it takes a lot of work to delete someone.


(Just kidding.)

Amen, brother.

Me too, it's not a term we use in England, would love to know what it means...

1) The "don't request me as a friend without a message" people.

I like knowing if you just randomly saw my name and decided to add me to boost up your friends list number. There are many "friends collector" on MFP. I like to keep my friends number o a small number so I can reply to most of them on their status and diary entries and motivate them and expect them to do the same. Also, adding a message gives me an idea if we have something in common. Why would I add you and then later on delete you? I don't like deleting people and would much rather avoid it if I can. Think of it as a screening process to eliminate creepers and "special" people

2) The "I only accept friends who have an open journal people".

Once again, people like having like minded friends who at least have some info into who they're friends with. Some people eat only 1200 calories. Whether its right or wrong, it is what they choose to do to lose weight and so they want other people who eat little. Some people eat 2,000 calories. Some lift, some run. We like to be surrounded by like minded people to make a small group so we can communicate and understand each other, ask for advice etc.

Why do somebody need a screening process like these? Well, I am a guy who don't often post on the forums and on a typical week get about 10 Friend Requests. If I didn't screen, I would endup having 1,000 friends by now. So I prefer to screen them out and add only people I know I can be long term friends with. I don't want to invest time getting to know somebody only to delete them later on

I agree many people have written strict rules of sending them FR as if they are some celebrity!!

Did you miss out "Must have references from all 4 grandparents and a character reference from a state governor" ???

If you can buy your own pizza we could be friends!

crazybookworm

I completely agree with all of these!

Janet9906

I accept everyone, I don't care what you eat or don't eat...I don't care if you send me a message with your request or not...the more people, the bigger the party
