Don't forget the "I am no longer accepting friend requests at this point in time" people. The "populars"
haha...really??? How many FR's are these people getting and what are they doing that they have to announce they are no longer accepting friend requests??
It's like those people on facebook that have to let you know every move they make all day.
on a slow week I get 10 FR's per week. On a week I post alot on my Friends statuses and on the forums I get 20. On a single DAY when I make a new thread I can get upto 15 in a single day (when I post a recipe or just a fun thread). And I'm not even one of the popular kids on this site. People get 30+ FR's per week (The more actively posting females at least do)
The "populars" are simply trying to do the right thing and be supportive to their current friends rather than be a friend collector while having fun in the forums. No need to judge them 0 -
I agree many people have written strict rules of sending them FR as if they are some celebrity!!
Just because you don't think I'm a celebrity doesn't mean I'm NOT! Helloooooooo!-
My rules for friendship consistently change on here depending on how much vodka I'm allotted during any specific food diary on here......
And my diary is closed because... well, because I can! Maybe I'll share it. Someday.....
Cheerios, sweeties!0 -
or people who won't accept you if you only have 1 photo lol

I do believe you missed the DNA sampling along with their credit rating from all 3 major credit bureaus 0

My profile comes with a warning label. If anyone wants to friend request me after reading it, I always accept. Creeper stalker dudes don't scare me. I'm not going to tell you where I live!0

the people who have in their message, "if you eat less than 1200 calories a day, i will politely nudge you to eat more and then if you don't i'll delete you." uhhh well, i don't want to be friends with a know it all, condescending, intrusive person like that to begin with. thanks for letting me know. i won't add you.0
-
I accept everyone, I don't care what you eat or don't eat...I don't care if you send me a message with your request or not...the more people, the bigger the party
Yep!! What she said!!
Everyone on here has turned out to be really nice so far. People just need to get over themselves sometimes.0 -

Since I am apparently an Mfp nerd with a mere 29 people on my fl and averaging one request a week, I appreciate insight into the popular kids' daily mfp dilemma.0 -

Sure buddy, you should go check and see if you are over or under your friend limit for the month.
Make sure all your friends have open diaries, and post on everyone of your updates.
If not you know what to do.0 -
i just updated my profile thanks to this thread lols
and I am about to plagorize it
haha feel free.
I mean..sure, they're allowed to have their restrictions. I just don't get it though? Why the strict process of friend selection?0 -

It's not a complaint...its an "observation"...know the difference.0 -

Some people are just to good for the rest of us and I am ok with that lol 0 -
OMG like totally dude. The goal of MFP is to have as many friends as possible. That's how you win this thing. Those punks who want to know why I'm FR mess up my game. It makes me have to think of some nonsense like, "oh you're so inspiring" or "your *kitten* looks fine in that thong" or "your posts are so stupid i don't want to risk missing any"0

I always have room to add people like you who've been rejected by others and feel the need to make a forum post complaining how it is unfair people have requirements
You can keep your diary closed if you like. I won't judge if you have any issues that you think you need to hide. I do hope you're seeking a doctor for such problems though, its sad how some gets judged. I won't judge you, promise.0 -
1) The "don't request me as a friend without a message" people.
I like knowing if you just randomly saw my name and decided to add me to boost up your friends list number. There are many "friends collector" on MFP. I like to keep my friends number o a small number so I can reply to most of them on their status and diary entries and motivate them and expect them to do the same. Also, adding a message gives me an idea if we have something in common. Why would I add you and then later on delete you? I don't like deleting people and would much rather avoid it if I can. Think of it as a screening process to eliminate creepers and "special" people
2) The "I only accept friends who have an open journal people".
Once again, people like having like minded friends who at least have some info into who they're friends with. Some people eat only 1200 calories. Whether its right or wrong, it is what they choose to do to lose weight and so they want other people who eat little. Some people eat 2,000 calories. Some lift, some run. We like to be surrounded by like minded people to make a small group so we can communicate and understand each other, ask for advice etc.
Why do somebody need a screening process like these? Well, I am a guy who don't often post on the forums and on a typical week get about 10 Friend Requests. If I didn't screen, I would endup having 1,000 friends by now. So I prefer to screen them out and add only people I know I can be long term friends with. I don't want to invest time getting to know somebody only to delete them later on
Everthing here. I agree.0 -

lol, funny, I read his observation as the same way I noticed people have strict restrictions. I don't add friends but I accept anyone. Has nothing to do with being rejected and needing to make a post about it....nice try though, brah.You can keep your diary closed if you like. I won't judge if you have any issues that you think you need to hide. I do hope you're seeking a doctor for such problems though, its sad how some gets judged. I won't judge you, promise.
You're really reaching....you should just stop now..lol.0 -
Mine: The people who are like "great day!" When I go to Red Robbin and have a garden burger with 3,000 calories, and my diary is open. Pffft. Yes. I was a fata** who went and ate a bunch of fries. Go me!0

i'm unsure what a creeper is exactly
LOL!0 -
You forgot "must provide mother's maiden name, blood type and offer up your first born child!!"0

Lol! Well said! I completely agree!!!!!

It's like high school here. There are cliques. I have never been in the 'cool crowd' and don't plan to be here either. What they really don't know is that I'm just way too cool for them anyway. My coolness would really overpower them, that's why they don't ask me to be in their groups.

The internet is serious business.

The ability to ridicule that which does not fit my own preconceived notions of acceptable behavior is what makes the Internet so awesome!0

This place is what you make it out to be. Some people use it for social aspect while working out. Some people use it primarily for fitness but don't mind some off-topic material. Some people are strictly logging in for logging their diaries and then just log off. All of them are cool within their means.
Like Zaphod (spelling?) said that the goal isn't to collect number of friends0
