Why do YOU delete "friends"

people who never log in, and girls who are seeking attention..or people trying to sell you something...

If someone hasn't logged in for more than a month, or if their habits and goals are extremely unhealthy.. I don't delete very often, I won't remove someone for not commenting or anything like that because I do way more reading than responding too

I've only ever deleted one friend and it was mainly three things:
1. unhealthy means of weight loss (specifically HCG)
2. unhealthy attitude (almost daily posts berating herself)
3. fear of the spread of that kind of general negativity

If they're posts sound like they're trying to advertise a product or sell their fitness services. I'm not here read ads.

I deleted a girl who would have really long and frequent status updates that I couldn't understand for all of the spelling mistakes and abbreviations for words that really shouldn't be abbreviated. I got tired of trying to decipher what she was saying

I don't monitor my friend list that closely. I don't stalk people's diaries. If you don't interact with me, then I don't know you are there. No harm done. If you do interact with me, I try to respond. Sometimes, it's hard to keep up. As long as you are not an a**, you are welcome to stay. Happy to say I have not encountered any negativity on my page as of yet. I have some truly wonderful people who interact with me on a daily basis and I am grateful for them.

i totally agree with this. i've added new friends since i found the forums, but i have no idea how many friends i have or who they all are. i don't think that's bad. i'm sure at some point i'll need them or talk to them, but i don't need to be all up in their business, and i sure would hope they aren't all up in mine either.

This is part of the friend request disclaimer on my profile . . . yeah, I come with a warning label.

Fastest ways to get deleted from my friends list:
- Fail to interact with me in some way - this crap makes me pissy.
- Be consistently negative and/or complain about lack of progress while failing to take any advice or do anything to change it - again, makes me pissy.
- B!tch at me about things I post in the forums, in my status updates or the things my friends say in their comments - opinions are like @ssholes, everyone has one, if you don't like mine or my friend's then get the *kitten* out.

Oh, and sometimes I just get trigger happy when I start clicking the X. *shrugs*

I love you.
Wanna smooch?

and I delete when i want to...that simple.

I normally only accept friend requests b/c I am curious about their story -- Then I just delete most of them. :laugh:

I am probably more likely to be un-friended---than to delete--because I am a 1200 cal-gal...and sometimes--when I post-on threads---I can be a little blunt. (shrug) I notice a couple of my threads go un-answered---but I am here to lose weight--that's where my head's at. I am so excited to be part of this community--I friend people who are on the same challenges I am on-- as a support-- or who can teach me something---people I admire---who have what I want in terms of fitness.
I am a serious--rah-rah---but I do not need that same kind of quid pro quo. I got some tough talk the other day--which was helpful--and that suits me fine.

But after 30 days on here--I do plan to re-evaluate--and see if I am being ignored, (I notice who responds to my posts and who does not)

but so far--I have only deleted one person--who asked to friend me--she had over 400 friends--posted 99 per cent novelty-type threads, risque or scatalogical stuff, self-admiring threads----not only---- not my style ---but as a newbie-- hungry for fitness advice,support, and exercise and role-modeling---waking up to those kind of threads--did not make sense to stay connected.
it was like reading---National Enquirer--instead---of Vanity Fair

I doubt she knew she'd been vapored:sick:

1. Don’t support me
2. Never talk
3 .Attention *kitten*
4. Annoying
