    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.

    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.

    I find that my friend list is filled with people with similar interests (be it health/coffee/hobby related).

    They have to bribe me with either money or alcohol before I accept a FR. :indifferent:

    I can be bought with bacon.

    Mmmmm... Bacon! :love:

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
