    What kind of sick weirdo are you?!

    I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

    Attack ships, on fire, off the shoulder of Orion.

    I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the tannhauser gate.

    . . . and all these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

    Err...well, since I answered A), I accept everyone, that would be why. I rarely ever send out my own friend requests, but if someone wants to be friends with me, have at it. They seem to be impressed by my weight loss, for the most part, even though I highly doubt I can really inspire anyone to be anything lol. I specifically interact with very few people on my list, mostly just here in the forums. *shrug* But I like you and your weirdness, anyway, I'll just stalk, I mean talk to you on the forums. :P

    Not judging as much as it sounded like. I can't juggle my 26, that's all :-D And yes your results are awesome and I enjoy stalking you, too. BUT NOT IN A CREEPY WAY I DON'T WANT TO WEAR YOUR SKIN!

    When someone sends you a friend request, do you

    a) Just hit Accept. What is the worst that could happen?
    b) Immediately check out their profile. Is it filled out? Is it funny/scary/informative? Are there naughty/hot photos?
    c) Check out their Friends list. All men? All women? Is your arch nemesis there?
    d) Subject them to the immediate scrutiny of your existing friends. Crowd sourcing for the win!
    e) Resort to tools such as Google and Tineye. What is the REAL dirt on this person?
    f) Other

    Inquiring minds want to know!

    a) Just hit Accept. What is the worst that could happen?

    A. I'm not on MFP to treat it like Facebook or others.

    I randomly pick any of the options, totally depends on the person's profile pic and if they sent me a message or not.

    no message=no approval

    (unless I belong to a certain group, and I recognize the person, the message is not required)

    Really, it's no big deal. If they turn out to not fit, there's a button for that.

    This. I generally don't accept if no message (unless I recognize them), and accept most people with a message unless it's "I WANT TO X YOUR Y BABY" Then it depends on the profile pic...

    Just curious what's wrong with someone that has an ED? I get the creeper part of not wanting to add. Anyone that has issues with food (ie binge eating) has an eating disorder.

    Have you ever been upset and eaten then regretted it? ED
    Have you ever not eaten when you are upset? ED
    Have you ever eaten so much you feel like you're going to be sick? ED

    Granted those examples are only if they start to rule your life, but come on there are so many people that have issues with food. It's not just the girls that starve themselves that have a problem. So that would be most of the people on here. I have an ED and I am a very nice person. I don't encourage EDs they suck.

    That being said, I have people on my FL who accept me for who I am. They are supportive and understanding. They do not judge me.

    Just wondering what the issue is with having a friend with an ED would do to make someone uncomfortable.

    Usually just hit accept, but I also have no problem getting rid of people if they don't log, or get annoying.

    I don't like blank profiles. Mainly because if they don't have a picture or any info, I automatically assume they are ultra-creepy and have someone locked in their basement.

    Otherwise, I accept. And if they turn out to be weird later, then I delete.

    I'm pretty much an 'A' kinda guy. I prefer FR with a message, but don't require it.

    I pretty much only unfriend people who are inactive for 30 days or longer.

    A & B. The whole interview process before accepting someone is a little much. That delete button can be magical.

    A. A message is always nice, but I accept everybody. I guess I'm kind of an MFP Slut that way.
