When asking for friends it really helps if you have a profile filled out .
You ideally want to find someone like yourself to help you along and if we don't know anything about you it won't help us help you.
I tend to not friend anyone who doesn't have a profile becouse I question their commitment . if your not going to take the time to tell us about yourself will you take the time to loose the weight?

    It kind of bugs me when they don't have their profile filled out but I know some are just doing this with the mobile app and don't have access to a computer. I wish more people would use an actual pic of themselves for their profile photo.. It's nice to have a face with it all.

    I have a back? :P Is that enough? Hehe. I always post pictures to keep me motivated. Seeing the progress helps me remember where I started when I have days when I question myself. I do agree I like to have an idea of the person I'm friending and their story.

    My profile is locked and you can't see my face, but I can assure you I'm not failing here.

    Pictures also help -- now I can tell you've been to Egypt, which is where I grew up ^.^ That said, lots of people on here have been successful without a profile/pics; I didn't have anything filled out for my first 30 pounds or so. I don't think it says as much about commitment as it does about personal preference or even just the platform used to reach the site (mobile profile editing is a pain in the *kitten*). To each their own :)

    I LIKE CAPS LOCK AND I CANNOT LIE. YOU OTHER BROTHERS CAN'T DENY. WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE FILLED OUT THEIR PROFILE YOU...

    If you're not going to take the time to spell or use grammar correctly, how can I tell you're serious about putting the work in to lose weight?

    See? DOESN'T FEEL GOOD ON THE OTHER SIDE, DOES IT?

    if they have access to the forums to post looking for friends, they also have access to edit their profile. :flowerforyou:

    Excellent point. Also, sending a message shows that they took the time to write instead of just sending out random fr's to people.

    If someone sends me a FR, I click accept no matter if there's a message or not, if there's a profile filled out or not. As long I don't receive any inappropriate PMs from that person, they're in. The only people I've ever removed from my FL are people I know have deactivated or will never log on again.

    But I'm not picky that way when it comes to internet acquaintances, 99% of whom I'll never meet in real life.
