All you obese ppl..do you do this?

Nah, if "hot" people are adding me to Facebook, and I actually know who they are, I will accept. Not because they are "hot", but because I must know them somehow.

I don't really think anyone is "hot" though, thus the quotations around that word. lol

No. I've never done that. If my before, a.k.a. current, pics bother them so bad that they have a difficult time typing words to me online then we shouldn't be friends.

My list is a pretty good mix. There are some just starting out and some that are ripped to shreads. What I look for in friends is knowledge, support and a good attitude.

And she decided to be my friend anyways. D'awww.

Personally no, I add them if I'm interested in them or not. If they don't like me at the size I am now then they don't deserve me when I'm slim.
I want a guy to like me for who I am. Not for how I look because at the end, personality is the thing that we are left with after our looks are gone.

As for just a friend then I'll add any one who's nice enough

I only add people that :

1) Fill in the message invite
2) Are not friend collectors.

Nope. I never do that. I know I'm awesome and that I'm a good person. If someone doesn't like me because I'm a fattycake, I'm thankful that I've weeded them out. Life is short. I just put myself out there and hope for the best heh

I try to add a mix of people. I want fun, supportive friends. Doesn't matter to me where they are in their journey.

I know exactly how you feel!!!

Agree!

My friend list is all motivational females. Not that I would mind looking at sexy men, it's just not what I'm here for.

I only tend to add other girls who have a similar goal to me, unless the guy is really good looking ha x

I will accept pretty much anybody who sends a friend request, but when it comes to searching for people to add, I'm a bit particular and selective with sending requests. I look at their profile, how much it's filled out, whether they seem to be someone I can relate to or has similar goals to me, and other things. If they seem to have a good sense of humor or just appear to be really nice and friendly, it's an easy choice. It's always nice to have someone to talk to who is going through what you are; someone that you can swap recipes with, or go for walks or do workouts with (if you're looking for someone in your area), and just generally someone that can provide motivation and support that you can do the same for.

I do feel a bit more uncomfortable approaching people who are in significantly better shape than I am, though, so I know where you're coming from. But as a lot of the people before have said, it's true that we're all here for our own weight issues, and for all I know, those people could've been in worse shape than -I- was at some point. The types of people that I prefer to stay away from are the ones that are overly confident and quite clearly stuck up. If it's the kind of person that will run you in the ground rather than help lift you up, they're not worth your time. But if they have been where you are and will be able to help you reach your goals, there's no reason to not add them.

no i dont do this, but then again i know i'm awesome.

all the sexy men folk can feel free to friend me.

hey sailors :drinker:
