I wonder why... MSG MUST BE INCLUDED?

I thought this was a thread about mono sodium glutamate. I love the stuff. Millions of Asians can't be wrong.

Lol, me too. Glad I wasn't the only one.

hahaha yea I did too. I hate the stuff though, as it is gluten-derived and makes me really sick.

I'd like a message but will usually add anyway. I am always curious as to what made them want to add me. Funny, angry, informative posts??

Meeeee toooooooo!

Simple really....if you want me to care enough to interact with you and support you...

then why can't you care enough to include a message about why you want me to add you...

communication has to start somewhere...why does it always have to be me? especially if you are the one that wants the add?

tell me a bit about yourself, a bit about what you are looking for, a bit about what inspired you to reach out...

honestly? it makes for a more fulfilling connection anyways...and it starts the conversation moving.

As I browse in topics and post in topics, I often read what people wrote. Sometimes, I click the persons name and see if there could be more pictures or even read their little biography.

Here's my thing, I don't care who adds me; guy, girl, fat, skinny, avitar of a dog, a saying or even if there is a message attached. I find it pretty cool that people, random people want to add me. So...

what's with the people stating in their profile that "MUST INCLUDE A MESSAGE OR I WILL NOT ADD YOU!". I sometimes feel that some, NOT ALL, but some of the people who put that into their profile must MUST think they are God's gift of the "Friend world". Sometimes, I put them in the "rich snobby superstar" category, you know, the actors and actresses that feel they are too cool to chill with regular people like you and me.

So to the people that have that in their profile, why? It's like your only allowed to have so many friends and once you pick them your stuck with them. Whats up with that message?

Here is the FUNNY thing, SOME of the people that have that in their profile had added me and sent me a blank message.. :laugh:

whew... anyway.. whoever wants to be my friend, I require nothing, nothing at all :drinker: There is no prerequisite to post on my wall or to explain yourself.. I never heard anyone in real life say, "hey can we be friends because...." it just happens... I dunno..

Youve said out loud what a lot of ppl wonder. I wouldnt have started a thread cuz I have my own imagination. I imagine theyve been friended by ppl who never log on or speak. Ppl sometimes want to add someone just to creep pics or diary (not saying thats bad- I would never post my face- so look all you want tho I am pretty private) I imagine they want to be friends with their friends and putting that disclaimer lets ppl know "I will talk to you , you need to talk back". Im sure theres a bunch of reasons I havent thought of.

Ive been here 2 months- 1 gal friended me because my diary was open she said- I said cool- then she hasnt signed on since. I havent deleted her yet but I will - just cuz- I dont see why I should leave someone that is not here ever. Other than her no requests and Ive made none. I sent one gal a note once cuz she wrote something very thoughtful and I said so- she must have thought Im a creep- cuz she never wrote thanks back or anything. Whatevs - I dont take ANY thing online personal- ya'll dont know me so how can it be?

I would also delete ppl that dont take this serious- choose crap food and have a lot of "set backs" (as in a lot of cheat days and/or bad choices) As for ED- obviously I dont get down with that-

I also would delete without reason as needed. No disclaimers from me. Want to friend up- we'll give it a shot. I can be sarcastic and very blunt. I may not be everyone's cup of tea and vice versa- but I will try. Some may want to weed the lame ppl out up front.

My ideas on that tag line - Im sure everyone has guesses and reasons.

I don't decline without a message.
But I would like to know where they found me and what made them feel like adding me.
I'm not big of friend collectors either. I try to motivate all my friends, even though there is a lot.

But sometimes there are people on my friend list who have never said a word to me.

Me too.
I love the stuff... I know some people get headaches from it, but dammit... it makes my meat taste tastier!

Ditto. I'm craving the Super Jumbo Happy Terrific Chinese Family King Buffet now.

I prefer a message with FRs because I'd like to know why someone would want to be friends with me. Simple as that. I don't decline without a message, unless I go to their profile and they're obviously selling something.

Because I don't want spammy @$$holes, or trolls, or weirdos. At least send me a message as to why you feel like friending me. You don't just walk up to a stranger and start following them around. You engage in conversation, take a liking and start to be friends. Come on man, it's not hard to figure out. It's creepy when someone friends you, and then never comments or messages or writes or anything. You're like, WTF? I require all my friends are active. I delete people that don't chat or send messages once in a while. I also delete people that aren't healthy, either junk food people or those that have an ED. I want healthy happy active people on my FL. If that is offensive, then whateves.

basically everything he said ^^

Anyone else want to dance the Carlton with me? I need a quick calorie burn....

Common courtesy. Even in the online world it can and should exist.

Thought this was about additives in Chinese food. Misleading thread makes me sad.

I like to interact with people on my list, as much as I can. If someone sends a request, it's nice to know why.

Even if it just says "hello".

Plus if someone picks me at random, without reading my profile, they may be surprised at things that come out of my mouth at times. And I really don't want to offend anyone's delicate sensibilities.

Agreed. Though I'm more likely to accept if ya tell me i'm pretty. Really though, if ya don't send me a message, i tend to give the benefit of the doubt and shoot you a message saying, "Hey! thanks for the request! Where'd ya find me and/or why do ya wanna be my friend? mutual friends? forum post? ya like my @ss?" It's usually well-received, and if not, they're likely not my cup of tea anyway!

You sent me one of the best FRs Ive gotten.

Because I AM super special and want to make everybody on my FL do my bidding without having them question me. If they can't follow that one simple instruction to send a message with a FR then they are hardly likely to do anything else more complicated. :yawn:

:drinker:
