in Chit-Chat
So I have a question for everyone on here. Why is it that MFP is starting to look more like facebook? Aren't we suppose to be using this website to help us lose weight not a dating site? I know that a lot of you will either ignore this or will laugh because you think you are better then me but I am just asking.

    Well, when it involves people, people will socialize. I don't see what's wrong with finding friends, dates, partners who have the same interest. I think it's good because we all know how hard it is to lose weight/fats and it would be good to find someone who understand and have the same goal :)

    I mean.... you are in the chit-chat section. The other forums aren't as Facebook-y. Plus, fewer and fewer people are using facebook anyway. People are people no matter what site they're on.

    I agree with Zeratus. Be friendly and others will be friendly. For all my AD fans out there "All you need is smiles"

    Is this thread a joke, or are you serious? I have found a lot of amazing peeps on here who are friendly. Avoid the creepers though.

    You do realize, OP, your post is rather reminiscent of a vague Facebook post.

    Perhaps people on MFP are more bold because their friends' list is mostly comprised of people they do not know in real life. There is no "check yourself before you wreck yourself" involved before you talk to someone on here.

    That being said, I don't think people are mean on here, just more bold. So just lighten up, ignore what you don't like and take in what you do like. :flowerforyou:

    PS I'm sending you a friend request.

    you have 25 post, and you say you've posted topics like this before? so most of your post have been hate centered, why don't you go to another topic in this forum and just have fun?

    I'm glad! It has though, not a day goes by without someone saying people are mean for one reason or another. I never really saw Facebook used as a dating site when I had it, but it was certainly a forum for daily rants.

    No one is being rude to you. Just honest

    To be honest you are being overly sensitive. Just use the site for whatever you want. Count calories and add people that have things in common with you.

    They weren't like this one of them was a question about strengthening workouts. how am I suppose to have fun when you all of guys seem to be friends already. yeah I want/ wanted friends. I was just seeing how long this post would go. what do you mean by deep seated issues? I am just asking because I don't get what you mean don't take question the wrong way.

    I think everyone here is very friendly because everyone on this site is here for the same goal, to lose weight and feel good and take their fitness levels to new heights. people can't always respond to a question you have right away they do have lives and are busy but most of the time i'd say 85-90% of the time they do reply and give great advice.

    So I shouldn't have any friends? and yeah if you were in my shoes you would be too. I am having a hard time losing weight. I am sorry I started this.

    Cnote don't be sorry this is a big toll and I am a big toll too and yet people is friendly with me [ok I should leave the stupid jokes about myself aside]

    Weight training does help to lose weight, but your main focus should be CARDIO it is the key to lose weight, keep doing some strength training as it will help your skin to stay tight and your body to get a better form.

    See we can be helpful - now with calories try to get most of your calories from Protein and forget about added sugar, empty calories [calories that won't bring anything good to your body] and just try to move as much as you can.

    People in this forum aren't just all friend already I arrived last week, decided to hit on everybody and boom now I keep chatting and having fun while keeping track of my progress and getting good vibes.
