lol If you actually update and log that could be why. I don't limit my friend list to around my age because I go more for activity. Then again, I'm not looking for hookups or flirts on this site, so I may not be the best one to answer this.
^^^^^ this
when i friend someone their age is irrelevant.
but im not an 18yo in a bikini so i may also not be the best person to answer this haha0 -
coming from an 18, the only real reason I have mfpals older than me here is
a. more experienced (as a newbie its slightly hard to find those my age who've done this, lost weight and can actually give out good advice into losing the weight/keeping it off etc)
b. slightly hard to find 18year olds who are trying to lose as much weight etc
but the main reason is a. most the advice/help I've gotten comes from older people here...don't send friend requests with a reason etc and i hate fb - ended up pretty much deleting everyone
(please don't stereotype us all...just would like some help/motivation and inspiration)
- no daddy issues
- no attention seeking
- no perving/oogling0 -
As a none thin-mint selling 18ish year old girl, I usually friend request people (regardless of age) to fawn over their weight loss and take a sneaky peak at their dairies.
I'm not trying to get into anyones proverbial internet pants.
Totally agree with Bamsie!0 -
Is it just me, or are other people a tad creeped-out by 18ish year olds randomly sending Friend requests?
I just don't get it. I'm a bitter, mean, 30-something. Why in the f**k would they want to friend me? Are the fake? Do they want to babysit my 4 kids? And they trying to sell me Trefoils and Thin Mints?
Thoughts?
I think it's the suit - maybe they see you as some kind of daddy bank??0 -
Anyone can help motivate you....It is not like the site is setup to be like match.com or eharmony. It is a place where people of all ages can come to support the similar goals of fitness and healthy living. I guess what I'm saying is that it doesn't bother me how old or young someone is for the purposes of this site.
and..... end scene
:smokin:
I have found this to be true, in my case at least. I have friends of all ages and both sexes and orentations. But then, any creepy activity, non activity or friend collector gets deleted.0 -

I see the look in your eyes, you are silently BEGGING for a hug! Oh, and some of your soft nougat center is showing...0 -

I have a few friends in that age range. So I have no problem with this whatsoever.
I'm not going to be the creepy old guy and flirt with them or anything. Mutual support is cool. Maybe they're just looking for support from someone with more experience.
Some of the best conversations I've had on here were with my friends in the 18-20 year old range. Why would we judge based on age?
Should probably mention...when I was 18, one of my best friends was 45. Now, at 35, one of my best friends is approaching 60. I think we all have something to offer, regardless of age.0 -

Every time I get a request of an 18 year old girl wearing a string-bikini, I half-expect Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC to jump out of my pantry and say, "Why don't you have a seat... right over here."
I just don't get it. I'm a bitter, mean, 30-something. Why in the f**k would they want to friend me? Are the fake? Do they want to babysit my 4 kids? And they trying to sell me Trefoils and Thin Mints?

^ You're freakin HILARIOUS! haahahhaa Cracked me up.
I don't know why. I don't like any random friend requests in general.0 -

Y'know what's creepier?
When you're an 18/19 year old girl and you get friend requests from suspicious looking middle age dudes who want to see a "progress" pic of you in your underwear.
Ahem. Yeah.
Then don't take pictures in your underwear dummy... lol0 -
I feel kinda left out and unloved
My youngest friend is a cow-orker......
With whom I am in deadly weight loss competition....0 -
Maybe it is a dateline setup, so if they ask you to come over bc they are all alone with some goodies, run far awayyyyy.0

Not all of us do it.....but we like to be creepy sometimes...and our brains aren't fully functioning til we hit 250
