    They send you a friend request and when you go to their profile you see that it is filled with nothing but female friends and minimal activity? Like I would think that they would benefit more with advice from other men. Mixing it up and having both sexes is fantastic and probably yields great results since that would be a broader spectrum. But when I see all their friends are females (not a few I am talking 120/120 it makes me uncomfortable for some reason. I usually just delete and move on but I was kind of intrigued because they always hae this girlfriend they want to shape up for.
    I have a feeling that if you looked at all your friends, that the vast majority of them have 70-90% female friends! Regardles of their own gender! For the 1st month or two, I just logged and didn't read/write posts or send FRs. Once I started, FRs were flying in both directions. I saw a previous post like this and surveyed my own list. I was at 90% female and it was complete by happenstance. I wasn't stalking or collecting, and I hadn't even put up an actual pic of me at the time. I got subconscious and starting sending FRs only to dudes for a little bit. I'm totally over that now... I FR who I want, when I want and don't let the demographics sway me either when.

    1 last thought. Remember, Friends list don't tell you who initiated the request!

    There might also be a psychological side to it as well. Women tend to be very vocal and supportive (not that men can't be) and I could see a man needing support and not really getting it from other guys in the way they need it. A guy telling a guy "you look good' isn't going to boost your confidence as much as a woman telling you you're looking good/sexy. For a straight dude, I'd imagine.

    I would say there might be a lot of the 'chick' collecting, but also just a lot of supportive people on this site happen to be women.

    And to be honest, I'll take the chick collectors over the girls with shots of their crotches with their hand down their undies. That just totally confuses me on a weight loss site.

    I have several female friends on my wall, but honestly, there is only one of those that I requested... and that one was my wife.... The others requested me and as long as they are professional or friendly, I have no problem keeping them on my page...I have not had a problem with it... neither has my wife... The only ones that I have rejected are those who are obviously under age... Not going there at all-- whether female OR male... I am sure that there are plenty of folks that are on it for other reasons...

    So that they can :


    1.- Right click semi nude picture
    2.- Save c:/desktop
    3.- Gather targets
    4.- stalk you
    5.- sell you to the Albanian underground sex slave group from the movie "Taken"
