They send you a friend request and when you go to their profile you see that it is filled with nothing but female friends and minimal activity? Like I would think that they would benefit more with advice from other men. Mixing it up and having both sexes is fantastic and probably yields great results since that would be a broader spectrum. But when I see all their friends are females (not a few I am talking 120/120 it makes me uncomfortable for some reason. I usually just delete and move on but I was kind of intrigued because they always hae this girlfriend they want to shape up for.

they are here to boost confidence and getting female attention helps... plus they like to flirt0

95% of this site is female ... just kinda happened that way for me.0

Not all of us need a website to boost confidence. I was an MFP member for a full year and just used it for logging before I started using the social side of it.
Although I wont deny that some are here to see how many females they can collect.0 -

lol I meant those that collect0 -
There are a lot more females than males on this site. Also, I pretty much just joke around with my friends...I'm pretty much my own support and motivation, along with my family. My MFP friends give me someone to talk about all of this stuff (my real world friends and family get bored with fitness and nutrition talk) with and just joke around and have a good time. I generally go to guys for lifting advice, and that's about it.0

I dont collect ppl...that term is ridiculous0

Some men are just creepy, it's like life really. You'll soon know which ones are creepy and which are genuine (there's plenty of them). Unfriend and just ignore the creepy ones don't bother writing back or anything. If you ignore them they tend to get bored and go away0

Wwhat ever floats there boat. I also know girls on here that have 90% men and are in a relationship.0

Yeah most of my friends list from girls is them adding me, I added a few because they're around my age and can be on each other to keep up the good work.0

it's just like real life - some of the girls on here are crazy. like bat crazy. maybe these guys are just casting their net really wide to try and find the ones who arent, and havent got round to deleting the weird ones...
im lucky of course, because the friends who i have on here who are female are all completely awesome and i wouldnt change them for the world :happy:0 -
Because boobs.
Hahaha, its funny because its true0 -
It mostly because MFP is primarily women. I have almost a 1000 friends, 80% are woman.
And no on can hear us fart.0 -
Because boobs.
ha!0 -
Because if you have 200+ hot females on your list, at least ONE will probably, maybe sleep with you.0

Yesterday I thought I had finally found a thread for tall and big guys. Sent out friend quests. Then realized all of the posts were from last April! I will say, though, I have some pretty buff female friends. I'm betting more than a few of them could kick my butt in the gym!0

Yes you do, they are all locked in your basement.0 -
Sometimes the help and support can come better from the opposite sex, it might feel less judgmental even if that isn't what they were consciously thinking.
I happen to prefer girls as friends on sites like this but won't mind having good motivation and support from boys. Probably does help though that I am actually single so I don't have any jealous boyfriend thinking they need to contend or watch over my shoulder for having guys as friends on here0
