My friend is married to an actuary.I usually run a credit check, criminal background and insurability screening prior to accepting any friend requests.
Always consult an actuary as well... just to make sure your investment of friendship is worthwhile.
You know what an actuary is! I like you!

I actually just got one with nothing written, can't see if we have mutual friends, and I don't recognize the username as someone I've likely insulted here in the forums... not accepting.
If I can see that we have friends in common, or I recognize the person from recent forum interactions then whatever I'm not going to be like "come back when you can make some smartass remark in a little box".0 -
If you PM me with "I want to throw you up against a wall and bang the sh&t out of you," you are getting denied.
That would pry be acceptable criteria for quite a few here.0 -
While I don't have that on my profile, I get it. A few weeks ago I had posted a question about exercises to do to build my chest back up after having breast implants. I got a few FR from people (all men) who didn't even reply to the thread. I'm not looking for those kinds of friends nor is it normal for me to get more than one FR in a month. I've seen people get flirty or even talk about very intimate things on the forums and I can only imagine the creepers who send FR just because of that. So I get it. I'm surprised no one has a "I don't accept FR from creepers only interested in one thing" on their page.0

If I get a FR I would like to know what I did to get your attention. It's because I'm vain!. .If you thought something I said on a forum or a newsfeed was funny. . then tell me. . It's good for my ego. .. .0

Also, I had to add a disclaimer because I kept getting unsolicited nudes from men, a couple women. Also, one person added me just to talk about violating me. My MFP friends list is now strictly people I interact with on a consistent basis that I can trust.
YES this too.
If you are creepy in the forums (and all you creepers know who you are), you are getting denied.
If you PM me with "I want to throw you up against a wall and bang the sh&t out of you," you are getting denied.
If you have an ED and you have no intention of working on it, you are getting denied.
Messages help me sort this out.
The creepers don't actually know they are creepers! Every time I call one out they act as if they have no clue what I'm talking about.0 -
Do you have an instagram? Do you have to know everyone that follows you there as well? You've lost 101 lbs and I'm sure you're a motivation to a lot of people that you might not even know who just stumbled upon in a thread and have never talked to. I feel like it's more creepy to say "i saw that you posted in a thread but i never talked to you" than to just not say anything at all.
I am more creeped out by silence. It is like having a conversation at a restaurant, and some stranger wearing work out gear comes over and sits next to me, then picks through my salad, asking how many carbs are in spinach. At least tell my who the hell you are first...
I choked on my salad reading this... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Could you even imagine MFP in real life? People just flashing each other, that one random guy that walks by and yells at you for not eating breakfast. A bunch of men with bleeding nipples stopping to talk about their fitbits.
You..:drinker: You.Are.Awesome.0 -
I probably average 2 FR's a month. No criteria for acceptance.0

My favorite is the messageless FR, and when you go to creep their profile to see who the hell they are, the first thing it says in all caps is "YOU MUST INCLUDE A MESSAGE IF YOU SEND ME A FR!!!"
This gets me too lol... I take the time to send a message with FR's, so I have the "WTF" moment when I get one from someone that didn't add a message, and they have that notice on their page too.0 -
I like people that complain. We should be friends.
But, send me a msg first...
^^^^yes, I LOVEEE whiny friends.....0 -

Yep. You'd think it would be obvious, but that seems not to be the case.0 -

This would be hilarious. We should have an Improv night and we can act out the forums for the various skits. One of them would be a confused person standing in the middle of the stage with a big group on one side of the stage shouting, "YOU NEED TO EAT MORE, YOU'RE IN STARVATION MODE!" and the big group on the other side saying, "IF YOU AREN'T LOSING, YOU ARE EATING MORE THAN YOU THINK!!!" Then the confused person would start go to on the offensive and start shouting out ridiculous things to both sides that they failed to mention in the first place.0 -

This is why we need a like button on the forums!0 -
I think its just polite. I want to know why you added me, if you want to check out my snacks that would be good to know cause I would warn you my snacks are mostly unhealthy and usually consist of booze (hehe). If you want to follow my posts because you think like me I might like to know so I can see check out your posts too. If you want to add me cause your also 5ft tall and not a waif then I'd like to know that as well so us shorties can stick together etc...
Its not that I think your a stalker.0 -
I used to send out a lot of FR's with messages, but nobody every accepted me. I later found out that they never got the FR because MFP will not deliver them if you have a word like 'boobs' in it. So now, I just send blank FRs and assume that the person knows I'm only sending it for boobs.0
