I went to the zoo today. There was only one dog in it. It was a sh*tzu.0 -
There are lots of new people joining MFP and looking for friends. There are also `long term` people on MFP that add friends
Why would you add a `friend`? - If they had similar interests to me, or if i could assist in their journey some way.
Do you look for similar lifestyles/age/mindset? - yes, someone who works, is busy but still fits it in.
Is it because you have had a meeting of minds (aka argument and then you got along)
Or do you just add friends ad hoc?
What does it for you with the whole `friends` thing? - i think its the reciprocation you get both ways. Those who don't, i would not consider friends and would delete immediately.0 -
People add me because of my gif.

I rarely add people to my list but am always open to being added by others as long as they tell me why they chose to add me.
I like to help others with the information that I have learned from people here, from doctors and life experiences, and I am grateful to those that support, help and teach me along the way as well.0 -
I find that my friend list is filled with people with similar interests (be it health/coffee/hobby related).0
-
Usually we have mutual friends and they seem cool or like others have mentioned...they're easy on the eyes) 0

Mmmmm... Bacon!
I add friends for many reasons... Mostly though for support, and advice in my fitness goals. Like I needed help working out a strength training routine, and I got a lot of great advice. Also, I find that having friends that can see my food and excercise diary helps me stay on track, becuase I know others are checking it... may be silly, but works for me!0 -
I'm actually friends with the people on my friends list. Outside of MFP, I mean. Weird, I know. But I don't have a sparkling internet personality so I have to make do with real friends.0

Three of the people on my friend list I know in real life; I'm even married to one of them. I could have a fourth (one of my wife's friends), but I find it more fun to keep denying her friend request while making random posts about squirrels on her Facebook page.0 -

As in arrogant. I just realised how rude my original post was.. I didn't intend it to be that way... nothing wrong with a bit of showing off.
I can't tell if you're serious or joking with the Most Awesome Person bit though. Haha.0 -
