    I delete people who don't interact in some way with me. I delete people if we have very little in common.

    I have received emails as to why I am being deleted (not serious enough, swear too much, not a little ball of effing sunshine 24/7/365 etc.) Personally I don't care. if you want to send me a message telling me why you are getting rid of me than fine, if not fine. I would really rather not know why I am being deleted unless we have been friends for a long time or if we are what I consider good friends.

    good manners? eh... I like knowing that people actually took the time to read my profile before they friended me, especially if it is because of something I said in the forums.

    Usually my reasons for deleting somebody has to do with either no interaction (which, no message) or the person is posting lots of stuff that I don't want showing up in my feed for whatever reason. In that case, I will sometimes message the person and tell them -- particularly if we interacted.

    The truth is you can't win when it comes to friends.

    Don't add someone and you're a jerk.

    Add everyone and you're a collector.

    Cut people and you're a monster.

    Tell them why you're cutting them and you're even worse.


    Eventually you have to just do what's best for you and hope people can be understanding. Often they're not.

    The only reason I add people is to delete them.

    I like imagining the expression on their face when I send this to their inbox

    To be fair, he sends the same thing in his FR's, but with a question mark on the end.

    Ok, I about spewed water out of my nose on that one. LOL

    Sounds like people are taking this too seriously. The only reason I ask for a message when FR is because I am just curious as to why they want to be friends is all. I have had a lot of friends and it's hard to be as supportive and helpful as I would like to be if I have over 100 friends on here. I mean, if you think about it, I'm not here for a popularity contest, I don't need 100's of friends to lose weight? If my friends list gets too out of hand I "trim the fat" by deleting people that I don't really contribute to or vice versa. Call me selfish, I don't really care. I just think that people shouldn't get butt hurt if they get deleted or if their FR is denied. No big, keep up the hard work and reach your goal. Who's on your friend list wont stop that, or shouldn't. Your friends should only help not hinder the change.

    And that's how Sue C's it.

    Still waiting on that FR.........

    When you get up into the higher #'s of pounds lost, sometimes people try to add you simply because of that. I get it, I did that early on. But, I also understand that strangely, my personality doesn't appeal to everyone and we can both see that it's just not going to work out. No note necessary.

    I've deleted people because they have continuously unsafe eating habits or have been inactive for a long period of time.

    I don't delete people often. Sometimes I will if they go inactive for a long time, if they annoy me, or if I just don't feel like we have anything to offer one another. It's not that big of a deal. You can't expect to be interesting to or interested in everyone you come into contact with. Don't really want, or feel compelled to send a message either. The deletion says enough, and if you're not that close with each other, it doesn't really matter.

    The IT Crowd too? Good god man. <3

    Incompatibility. It happens. Just keep it short and sweet, hit delete. It's your place for good mojo, reaching goals, and moving forward. If someone isn't taking you there, move forward.

    The only person who tries to delete me that I would expect a reason from is my husband.

    I feel like you have all pretty much proven the point. Since it is effortless and perfectly acceptable to let go of an MFP friend any time for any reason, WHY do we have to court new friends by adding a message to our friend request? Talk about gatekeeping.

    Just my point of view of course. Best wishes to all!
