    I've heard of guys who pick up women at gyms... they'll find women who've been overweight for a long time and have finally dropped the weight. Pretty much swooping in for the kill at an opportune moment. I would imagine some of the men here have this in mind as their modus operandi, unfortunately.

    Hmm, that's a great idea. Thanks for the tip! :)

    I wish I had a dollar for every single time I spotted this. I mean sure, everyone likes looking now and again, I suppose. But you can absolutely weed out which ones are the hardcore creeps.
    I for one tend to not get very many friend requests from much more than women, I realize it's a big majority of the site. But my friends aren't all half naked women, and I also accept all friend requests, men and women.

    I generally am not a big tough guy and don't share too many of those interests. My real life friends are mostly women, and so are my MFP friends.

    I know what u mean! They should actually read your profile first but most don't! First thing mine says is to send a note with the request. They don't so I don't accept........

    I've solved that problem.

    No friends.

    So much quieter on my wall when I just talk to myself.

    I just started using the social part of this site yesterday and already had a bad experience with a male. I went ahead and joined in on the "Best physical trait of the person above you" thread or something like that. Obviously, my profile pic doesn't give much to work with, but I wanted to play and comment on others nonetheless. So when a certain guy commented that my best trait was my "rack" I shrugged it off. So he emails me right after saying he didn't mean to offend me if he did and I replied that I wasn't offended and to kill awkwardness joked that I grew them myself and ended the email. He then rights back "big and natural is always preferred" to this I didn't reply. Then he writes again saying "now I offended, sorry" I replied again I'm not offended and have a sense of humor but didn't know what to say back to his comment so I didn't reply. Next email he sends of course is asking my bra size and if there's anything personal I would like to tell him. Obviously I'm not going to get into that kind of conversation with some guy I don't know. He has got the hint and left me alone but since it was one of my first encounters with a male on here, I must admit it at first made me assume the males here are all vulgar and have bad intent. After thinking on it for a few minutes I realized that I just had a bad experience and obviously not to judge someone based on their gender. With my son being disabled, being judged is a big issue for us and I strive not to do it, so to all the males on the site...my apologies. Last night I thought you were all pigs and I no longer feel that way. My bad.

    Maybe u should zip up more

    I have MFP friends of both sexes, but I do get more support from the men than I do the women....so for you pppl, whatever will work the best for you....to keep you motivated, is the way to be...if someone stalks you like for the OP, then don't humor them, just delete them....this site isn't for that kinda thing....

    It mostly because MFP is primarily women. I have almost a 1000 friends, 80% are woman.

    And no on can hear us fart.

    Who cares? You don't have to accept their friend request.

    about 70% of the "friend" requests I get are from women. I ignore 90% them. One that I accepted was a person with a shared swimming "addiction."
    My "friend" list is really short.
    My best friend on here is my wife. :heart:

    The way I look at is this... Whether a guy has more female friends or a gal has more male friends is not my concern... I am here to become a better me... I can use all the support I can get, if at one point or another I see that a person is not taking me or their progress seriously, then it is their loss...

    Lone_wolf70- While I take responsibility for what happened, I don't think where I went wrong was having my hoodie unzipped a little. I'm wearing a shirt under it and am showing no cleavage. I don't think my profile pic is provocative. Either way, learned a lesson and will grow from it. :)

    Just to let you know, some people get confused and mistake "hoodie ties" with "exposed ovaries."

    hahahahah ...yeah be careful ladies, might actually get some d___!! How awful.

    Emotionally vulnerable women being targeted deliberately... that's what I meant.

    If a woman wants d___ well, she can usually get it. A man rarely gets the goods without the woman wanting it too.

    There are men who hang out in the parkling lot of Weight Watchers and gyms targeting women in the hopes that they have been fat for a long time, have been without it, and are easy lays ... I was informed of these sleaze balls by a man.

    No different than women that hang out in expensive places looking for guys with money.

    lmao!

    Women also do what you say men do....hunt for newly gotten in shape men they deem as vulnerable. And men and women have both been known to go after the opposite sex based on financial gain, social climbing...etc....etc...etc....

    As myOWNInspiration said - women are just as bad as men...



    I don't think she would disagree with that....but the topic was more about what "men" do , not what women do?

    Guys here are dangerous, be careful!

    agree

    I agree. I got a creepy PM the other day. Some guy asking about who I thought would win in a wrestling match between us. Funny enough, I lift more than him....

    Thank you everyone for your diverse answers. I had no idea MFP did not have a lot of guys.

    Exactly. People forget the point of the original argument sometimes :)

    Clinically speaking they're the same. I am an aOB-gyn.
