What motivates you to send a PM to a stranger on MFP?

Replies

  • Sometimes their profile picture screams that they're super serious about staying in shape, so I reach out to them because I want more friends like that.

    In other cases, I see a post on one of these threads and they provide some really good information and again, I want more informative friends.

    I usually send them when someone has an outstanding physique.
    And they're female :)
    But mostly just to compliment them on great work accomplished.

    It's better to give than receive, right??

    I will send PMs when someone says something particularly awesome and I think a reply to it on the thread will get lost.

    I agree

    I don't send PMs to strangers. I wait for them to send them to me.

    Did you forget about the junk pic you sent me the other day?

    You were the exception. I simply couldn't resist.

    95% Its because I consider them a bad *kitten* in some way. I pride myself in pushing the envelope way pasts it limits and I appreciate others that do the same.

    The other 5% is strictly because they are hot.

    Too strong?

    I have to stand by my prior decision... I hate this show. Even the gif brings back feelings of angst at having to have watched two episodes of it this weekend. Screw You Adventure People!

    No worries. I was flattered, not offended.
