Do you accept their Friend Request??
Personally: I know that this is a social network for fitness. So some of us might not like pictures as much as the next person but if I get a FR from a person without a profile picture AND without a message, I auto-decline. I don't care much for the message but I don't know if you're a creep or not. No profile picture makes me think you're going to be weird. LOL
I'm just wondering, what the rest of you do when this happens.

No. I don't even respond to their posts. At least put up SOMETHING of yourself.0 -
nope! i'm leary of people who are THAT tech-unsavvy0
-
I don't much care about pics or not, and will generally accept any request. That said, if the person never says anything and drops off for like a week, I'm cutting them. I'm am not a pokemon to be collected.0
-
I would...but then again I also don't have any pics of myself up. There are a couple of reasons for this. I'm not opposed to having a photo of myself on my profile but I currently don't have any photos that were taken in the last 3 years and don't have others in the pic.
I'll pretty much accept any friend request, a message would be nice too of course and if their profile is filled out, bonus.0 -
I don't send FR for this reason. It could also be why I have so few MFP friends.
Everything is working perfectly.0 -
No pics and blank profiles have me hitting the decline/delete button.
I mean, if you can't even put forth the effort to add some info to your MFP account, how the hell are you gonna muster up the effort required to achieve successful, long-term health and fitness goals?0 -
Yeeah, no. If they want me to be encouraging and ****z they gotta have a profile pic. Nuff said.0

Because MFP info updates are directly linked to diet and fitness long term success...0 -
i rather the person leave a message and have pictures but either way I will probably accept just might end up deleting them not to long after0

Some of us want to keep our privacy. I don't understand the need to be so open on the internet. I try to keep my internet footprint as small as possible. I don't care if others do not have pics, but they need to send me a message and their home page should give some info about what they are doing and why they are here, otherwise I reject the friend request.0

IDGF if you have a profile pic/avatar.0

I'm OBVIOUSLY the rabbit in my pic.0

Yeah, cuz it's science, you know?0 -
Some people aren't too tecky. Or they are parinoid too about leaving a pic or they are getting on in years like me. I'm still trying to figure out how to post a pic. That being said I might but if I had alot of good friends already I probably wouldn't

Why in the world would your profile photo / avatar matter on this site? This isn't myspace, or friendster, or facebook is it?0

Avatars and "some kind" of picture is not a problem!! and MOST people that have no profile pic has NO info on their page either.0 -

I could care less if this was MySpace, "Friendster", or Facebook same concept would apply. If can't even know(see) who is commenting me or PMing me then its creepy to even have them as a 'friend'. I don't see why people would get on a social network and not add a picture of themselves.0 -
Because not everyone is here to socialize. It is THEIR choice and THEIR choice only what they choose to do on this site.Why in the world would your profile photo / avatar matter on this site? This isn't myspace, or friendster, or facebook is it?

For a lot of people this is simply a tool to better themselves and that is their personal choice and no one has the right to judge them, plain and simple.0 -

If they are ADDING people then they're socializing!0 -
Its not wrong to have a profile picture or not to have it. I was JUST wondering if you all accept those FR's or not. ITS PLAIN & SIMPLE!0

And the world isn't going to collapse if you hit decline. 1 second flat.

Just adding isn't socializing. I've had plenty add me and then they don't say diddly to me.0 -
I don't think I've ever not accepted a friend request. I really don't care if they choose not to post a pic or include a message. All that I have deleted after adding, due to creepiness, had pics and profile was filled out. Lack of message or pic isn't a great indication creepiness will ensue.0

I have a friend that has no avatar or pic, but they socialize and are very supportive. I could care less what they look like.0 -

If the world isn't going to collapse then why are you getting so upset over a topic?
Adding is not an attempt to socialize? I didn't know that sending a friend request was a "tool" that MFP has for fitness!??0 -

I don't care how anyone looks like either because I'm not near perfect myself but I'd like to have a face match a name!0
