    yes, I would like WOMEN ONLY as my friends on here... NOT interested in men friends ...for what?? I am not an attention seeker !:noway:
    I have REAL men in REAL life who can do that for me!!:grumble:
    I am here to lose weight/get healthy with WOMEN as my friends...:flowerforyou:
    geeze I was here for a few years and left and now that I am back I have to go through this whole issue AGAIN... :huh:

    I do think of myself as quite a catch thank you :laugh:

    if its right for YOU that's great, but for me, I'd rather NOT.

    I would have thought THIS /\ answer was enough...

    Since I NEED to re quote myself :

    I AM NOT AN ATTENTION SEEKER OF MEN.
    NOT SAYING YOU ARE.

    BUT FOR *ME*
    I {PREFER} WOMEN FRIENDS ON HERE BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT ANY *UNWANTED* MALE ATTENTION.

    *****please unwad your panties they seem to be in a bunch.***

    You think you'd get unwanted male attention?

    Some of the most brilliant people I've met here have been men. Why write off an entire gender just because you think a couple or one of them may hit on you or give you a compliment that you then likely take the wrong way only because they are a man and then you get your panties all bunched up? I'm a rape survivor and my rapist was a man, but I don't write off men just because they're men. I've received a couple of somewhat pervy messages from a couple of guys but I was mature enough to respond appropriately.

    Give the men a chance, and don't label the rest of us who do have male friends as 'attention seeking'. We're not.

    Cheers.

    While I FULLY respect EVERYONES opinions and rights to choose and share,

    HERE IS MY RIGHT:

    I have the RIGHT to CHOOSE to NOT have male friends on here.

    MEN
    . do NOT have the same body as mine, so are NOT on the weight loss journey " I " am on.
    .They have different caloric needs than I do with different macros, so therefore only have book or head knowledge of a WOMANS weight loss journey.
    .They have NEVER given birth, so my TARGET areas are something they do NOT have personal KNOWLEDGE about.
    AND
    . Although I have my own PERSONAL reasons for NOT wanting male friends I have CHOSEN to NOT disclose those, so if this means I am "writing off" a whole group of people ...so be it .

    it also means, IF THEY ARE CONTACING ME PERSONALLY THAT IT IS *UNWANTED* ATTENTION.
    ATTENTION THAT I AM *NOT* SEEKING.

    WHICH CAN BE MOSTLY ***AVOIDED** BY NOT HAVING THEM AS FRIENDS.

    THANK YOU FOR RESPECTING **MY RIGHTS** AS MUCH AS I HAVE RESPECTED YOURS TO CHOOSE AND DO AS **YOU** WISH TO.

    please continue to rant and rave over something that is as simple as me asking for women only as friends.

    Sheesh, people will pick that one thing out of a post and just run it into the freaking ground. Who cares if she only wants to be friends with women. Why question it like she somehow was making a statement about others that choose differently? DME1977, you are entitled to only be friends with women if that is what you feel is right for you. You owe NOBODY an explanation for that. I can't believe the audacity of some people.

    dme1977, Don't worry about the drama queens here that think everything someone says is a personal affront to them. You are doing great in your recovery and I for one have nothing but respect for that. Good for you. Keep it up. I truly hope you can find some people here that can help you in your journey towards recovery.

    Holy cannoli. Why all the fuss? You'd think that arguing a point on MFP is a major calorie burner or something. She's looking for female friends. Done

    I only add women also. (Besides the hubs, but he rarely checks in.) Just a matter of personal preference, nothing offensive about it. Sending you a request. Best of luck in your journey!

    I understand where this lady is coming from, I only have a couple of fellas on my friends list, because I am mostly wanting to see food diaries of women who have the same aims as me......I've yet to meet a 4'11 101lbs guy who weight lifts on MPF! Who knows one day I might!!

    You have every right to wish only female friends. I cannot believe how pathetic some individuals have been about something so minor. Obviously not had their drama for the day so felt the need to needlessly create some. Good luck finding the friends you will feel most comfortable with.

    Stay calm, she wrote an introductory post about the type of friends she was wishing to add on MFP, she didn't rent a billboard or airplane banner.

    I had no issue until she insinuated that women who have male friends are attention seekers. My post is on the first page if anybody wishes to refer to it.

    I honestly do not have an issue with anybody wanting to add just their own gender, I have an issue with attacks on those of us who add all genders

    Yeah OP, returning to this train wreck of a thread 3 days after it died down does not make you seem like an attentions seeker at all.

    Not at all.
