    Agreed. Too many people here wanting to shove people down. Its not necessarily being mean, but there sure are people here who "know it all" instead of just offering friendly advice.
    Waaaaaah :sad:

    jkwolly did you stub your toe? Are you okay?

    I'm Nice!!! :)
    I just started doing MFP about a week ago and need to lose 56 lbs. I am in summer classes at the community college and my daughter is also. You can always talk to me if you need a motivational shove to get you going, I need one too. haha.
    My name is Mary and its very nice to meet you. :)

    I'm only nice if you hand me Talenti. But be careful, I bite.

    Especially if you have Talenti.

    How can you have been on here for "years" if you are only 18?

    I would like to nicely say that MFP's terms of service indicate that you must be at least 18 years of age to use this site. For how many years have you been 18? I know that I stopped counting birthdays when I hit 27...perhaps we have something in common after all!:love:

    I'm new here and haven't see this yet (these mean people). Just one comment I hope I don't regret. The idea of I'll be nice if you are nice to me that some have shared, well I think that is a flaw our society has. How about be nice to someone just because? It's called grace...give someone the kindness they may not deserve if for no better reason than to not catch their negativity.

    This...and my day is complete now that there's been the daily Mean People thread. Anyone else get bingo? ?

    I got BINGO 20 minutes ago when I found Salted Caramel Talenti.

    I'm actually a really nice person. Many of my friends who are considered "mean" on here are very nice people. Maybe people should stop focusing on tone and presentation and more on the words in the post. The knowledge and help that is often overlooked by defensive feelings.

    I'm sorry if people were mean to you, OP, but please keep and open mind and try and take what people say with a grain of salt and read the truth in the comments and not the harshness that sometimes comes with direct, blunt advice.

    Good luck OP. I hope you make your goals!

    I've been on MFP for years, just on different accounts. Every time I go on a post, I always see that one mean person. You can't even ask a question on here without someone telling you how you feel or telling you about your own life.

    I don't need a counselor, telling me what I should do with my life; I already have one.

    So why is everyone so mean? Or trying to tell ME how I feel??!

    Please don't be rude on this post, I am just looking for NICE people.

    I don't need a "congrats" everyday, just want to see other people and how their doing with their progress :)

    So if you're nice, I will add/accept. Everyone needs a good friend on here. :)
    :blushing: :flowerforyou: :love: :smile:
    **And I am sure I am not the only person who feels this way**

    I have seen mean people here, but they usually get smacked down and booted pretty quickly by the mods.

    I have to admit, I am amused by the irony of someone who openly admits to having misrepresented herself on this site for years lecturing the community at large on proper behavior.

    I literally just came back like 2 days ago.. and pretty much every thread I read.. there are people bashing others and making fun of them for what they are or not doing. I never used to see this about 5 years ago. This is supposed to be a place where people get information and advice.. but all I see is gif's making fun of people.

    I have found nothing but nice people here... blunt and to the point... oh hell yes... but mean... not so much...

    I have said it once, I will say it a MILLION times... you want mean, go to Babycenter or Sodahead for mean (and I will throw in the Knot too) and this place will forever be glitter and unicorns pooping out rainbows...

    Hearing the truth in a no-nonsense way =/= "mean"

    Pass. You seem too high maintenance for me.

    Here's a helpful tip though: you can always send friend requests to the people that YOU think are nice.

    If you've been here for years as you say, why post this in the Introductions section? Its like you are standing at the MFP doors and telling all the new kids " don't go in there- they're mean".

    I am not even sure what you are trying to get at here. Is this a mean people thread? Is this an "I'm looking for friends" thread or is it some kind of grouping everyone as mean just because one person was mean to you thread? Honestly, someone already said it....you are suppose to be 18 to use this site, so if you are saying you have been here a few years then you clearly were not old enough to be.....maybe you are lying about your age? I don't think I can even take this one serious.
