    I accept everybody and then wait for them to delete me later when I don't comment on their statuses. Sometimes I'll want a specific friend who has show that he/she knows what they're doing when it comes to specific exercises, diet, etc. I find that it's a better way to get information and advice than going to the forums sometimes.

    I accept everyone! Come one, come all! If I was doing this for dating purposes, it would be a little different. I want to help support people in reaching their goals and make a few friends in the process!

    Right? I'm reading through posts and I'm scratching my head. LOL.

    Well I understand why some women are more selective about who they choose as their friends, that is understandable to me I've heard some horror stories on here and sometimes people want to be careful about who they have on their FL not everyone is here for fitness purposes

    I would accept them. I agree with what others have said. This is not a dating site and if they are here for motivational purposes the same as me then I accept them. If it doesn't work out then its as easy as clicking delete. So far the friends that I have here are awesome. They are great motivators. GL to all my mfp friends out there.

    I have yet to reject a request and haven't had to delete anyone yet. Everybody has been pretty cool so I'm lucky I guess.

    They have to be showing excessive amounts of skin, be extremely flirtatious, and be highly willing to experiment

    I reject FR is they don't tell me the reason they want to be friends, or if they come off as creepy.......... or sometimes I'm just not feeling friendly.

    So far, thankfully, I have never had an excuse not to accept someone as a friend. I figure its more people to help give feedback and to get and give comments to.

    If you are a creep, if you have not filled out your profile, if you have an eating disorder, if you are a friend collector, if you dont log daily, if you do not interact with friends, and pretty much if I dont think I will enjoy having you as a friend.

    I will decline for all the above stated reasons.

    Accept if you seem freaking awesome, if you log daily, if you seem motivated, if I am inspired by your success or motivation, if you dont seem like a creeper.

    I haven't declined anyone's friend request yet and I don't think I would. I can't judge the person from their profile picture, because that is not nice - I don't like the way I look, either. As long as the person is friendly and supportive, then that's good enough for me! Here for motivation, not to judge people. :-)

    I used to accept everyone however, I have now put a cap on my friends list. I want to be supportive to everyone and i cant do that with over one hundred people. Inactive or nonsupportive folks are deleted though.

    I workout 6 days a week and always try to comment on my friends hard work, I expect the same. I rarely ever decline a FR. Profile picture not necessary. I do regularly delete people only based on inactivity. I've been on this site for quite a while and have kind of "cycled" through friends a few times but really just from me deleting inactive people. I'm always looking for new people to encourage and be motivated by.

    I accept all FR, I occasionally go through and delete anyone not active or who never interact with me. I am here for the support and an occasional kick in the pants to help me get back on track. and if I can help others stay motivated then I'm happy. :) So far I have wonderfully supportive friends and have never had any rude or insulting interactions.

    ^^ Exactly! However, people who go inactive get deleted.

    Mine is just people who log and encourage. I might go through and weed people out who have been disengaged for months. Im here to add friends who are present for the journey not just collect them!

    I accept almost everyone. I wont if you have no pics or a brand new account.
    I will later delete you if you troll, post 12345613253 updates a day, or are pro-anorexia.

    If I've seen them on the message boards and they have some interesting comments and/or similar interests. I get a lot of request from girls my daughters ages. 20 -35. They usually have a comment like "You remind me of my Dad/Grandpa." I'm fine with that.

    I also like those with similar interests: Culinary / Martial Arts / Soccer / Motorcycles.

    Don't think I've denied one yet! I don't send many out though.

    Not many that I don't accept. Those that I don't, usually do not have a picture or is a brand new account. Someone who shows they have a sense of humor, is always welcomed :smile:
