Why do guys on MFP do this?

I can't say that the case here. I haven't been approached yet and I'm her for support, entertainment and meeting all people.

Because boobs.

Warm ones only.

Reported.

Lighten up...

I dont collect ppl...that term is ridiculous

Yes you do, they are all locked in your basement.

LOL>>>>>>>>>>>> toooo funny

I'm guilty of being one of the "friend list full of females" guys. There's probably many reasons...attention, probably being # 1. Who doesn't like to hear someone of the opposite sex tell you that you are awesome.

I consider myself to be a manly man that happens to gossip alot (is that even possible) and I tend to have a flirtatious personality (mostly with women, lol) - in real life and here. Being a "manly man", it is not easy/normal for me to talk about weight issues with other guys - it's just not cool, the women I've become friends with are much more encouraging than any guy would be (I think), and probably partially because of feeling competitive with other dudes, it's easier and more enjoyable for me to cheer on a woman.

I don't think I'm a creep. I try to be nice and supportive. I do have guys on my FL - I think 3 out of 100, maybe 4. :happy:

Oh yeah....and boobs. Definitely boobs - just keeping it real.

Lone_wolf70- While I take responsibility for what happened, I don't think where I went wrong was having my hoodie unzipped a little. I'm wearing a shirt under it and am showing no cleavage. I don't think my profile pic is provocative. Either way, learned a lesson and will grow from it.

No lesson to learn, except maybe that creepers happen. And I don't think you should take responsibility for that guy. I know a lot of guys that use the insincere oh my bad to hit on ppl IRL. If their apologizing it makes it harder to shoot them down. It's actually quite clever. BTW I'm sure that girls do this too. Next time just write yes, you offended me. Kthxbai.

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.

I have a feeling that if you looked at all your friends, that the vast majority of them have 70-90% female friends! Regardles of their own gender! For the 1st month or two, I just logged and didn't read/write posts or send FRs. Once I started, FRs were flying in both directions. I saw a previous post like this and surveyed my own list. I was at 90% female and it was complete by happenstance. I wasn't stalking or collecting, and I hadn't even put up an actual pic of me at the time. I got subconscious and starting sending FRs only to dudes for a little bit. I'm totally over that now... I FR who I want, when I want and don't let the demographics sway me either when.

1 last thought. Remember, Friends list don't tell you who initiated the request!

There might also be a psychological side to it as well. Women tend to be very vocal and supportive (not that men can't be) and I could see a man needing support and not really getting it from other guys in the way they need it. A guy telling a guy "you look good' isn't going to boost your confidence as much as a woman telling you you're looking good/sexy. For a straight dude, I'd imagine.

I would say there might be a lot of the 'chick' collecting, but also just a lot of supportive people on this site happen to be women.

And to be honest, I'll take the chick collectors over the girls with shots of their crotches with their hand down their undies. That just totally confuses me on a weight loss site.

Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Girls do it to. I have quite the collection of hotties myself here.

I only collect people in real life

I laughed.

I do the opposite.

Why? Because Abs.

Think it's a coincidence for me... i dont care if you are a guy or girl. im just trying to get healthy.

Because boobs.

Warm ones only.

YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

yet you want to censor other people...:)

You don't read humor very well, do you

I have several female friends on my wall, but honestly, there is only one of those that I requested... and that one was my wife.... The others requested me and as long as they are professional or friendly, I have no problem keeping them on my page...I have not had a problem with it... neither has my wife... The only ones that I have rejected are those who are obviously under age... Not going there at all-- whether female OR male... I am sure that there are plenty of folks that are on it for other reasons...

So that they can :


1.- Right click semi nude picture
2.- Save c:/desktop
3.- Gather targets
4.- stalk you
5.- sell you to the Albanian underground sex slave group from the movie "Taken"
