I have 4 friends on MFP that I know in real life. It doesn't bother me if they know my weight or what I eat. I talk about it all the time anyways, lol. So how many IRL friends do you have and what do you think about friending people you know in real life?

    When you say IRL life...I don't ge tit. I chat with my MFP friends while I'm awake. The IRL people, I don't associate with them nearly as much.

    So to me, MFP is IRL. I don't feel a need to be a different person on here versus "IRL". So what if I told that lady at the fruit stand "would bang". Shock factor has its benefits.

    Only 1. I don't like having too many RL friends on here, but the one I have I am close with so it makes me happy.

    Yes, I am fond of many of my MFP friends but it IS different than being friends with someone that you interact with through other means than the internet. There is a level of anonymity online that is just makes it different. I have a few people at work that know I am on MFP and we talk about it cause they are on it too but they don't want to be MFP friends. I guess some people just need to have their MFP life separate.

    I know none. Most of my friends are the type people who live on this place though, so I feel like I know at least a good portion of my friends on here.

    Used to have a co-worker who sits 20 feet from me on my FL. I deleted him a month ago.

    I had just one - my father in law, who got me into excersizing and recommended MFP. Then when I started posting progress pics of me in my underwear, I deleted him. :D

    I've never met any of my friends face to face, but they're all part of my real life.

    "IRL" is just a term really, you know what I mean. Stop over thinking it people!
