    I expect my friends to worship an idol of my likeness at least 6 times a day. Flagellate themselves prone daily with wet birch twigs and supply me with cake.
    I'm glad I'm not alone in this desire. I cannot figure out why friends won't get with the program.

    Define worship?

    When you refused to believe that she didn't see this as a dating site and no, she didn't mean to sound big-headed.

    You're new here. You will catch on to who jokes and who does not.
    Based on what I've seen from this poster (first quote) this morning, I suspect she has a degree in women's studies.

    No Ted, it doesn't require graduate level of education, just basic socialisation.

    My name isn't Ted. I'm a GIRL.

    Some support, at least occasionally, I do the same. We are here for support so it is just fair :)

    They must entertain me or they're OUT!

    OP -- Seems you need to be a little more selective in who you add. I only add people I've interacted with already and I sort of know their personality. Most have mutual friends. I have lots of men on my FL and they're respectful, funny and interesting. Every once in a while, one starts flirting or something, but I try to gently make it clear that isn't why I'm here and that I'm not available and they usually take that just fine and back off.

    I've never been unfriended for it and no one has asked me to PM.

    EDITED: To not sound like a pirate.

    I am going to start being selective of my friends

    Have a great sens of humor
    Appreciate dirty jokes
    Not get offended easily
    Don't be a whiney B!tch
    Leave ya drama at home
    and this.......

    This is pretty much my experience - great support, inspiring diaries and achievements. I don't accept requests from people who don't include a message though, I think that this helps.

    Perhaps you're new to mixed company and will soon learn that not everyone finds rapey, creepy comments funny but rapey and creepy.

    You're funny. You are new though April of this year. 708 post.

    careful this poster doesn't like the word "girl"...apparently at a certian age we have to call ourselves women...eh.

    As for the comment being creepy and rapey..paleeeze the OP even put the blush emote and the big smile emote...

    some people...*cough*this poster*cough* need to relax.

    I sometimes get friend request from guys and we exchange few private messages then they want to talk to me regularly to get to know me.Sometimes i just stop responding in the middle of the conversation because I am busy atvthat moment or I just ne bothered .


    Most of the time they suggest adding them on chat and when I don't follow through, they delete me.I find this happens allot with male friends but not females.Usually I am just fine with encouraging each other in wall post and statuses.So what's your exceptions from your mfp friends?

    There's a chat?

    Men (not all men) think this is a dating site. Some women are showing their bodies to reveal their success, not to get hit on but I'm sure there are some women that want to get hit on. To each their own.

    What I expect from my friends on MFP is nothing actually. It's nice to have open blogs for me to read and comment on and I hope that they read and comment on mine. I do like positive friends and try to choose only them. Being that I have not been on here too long, I only have six friends but I think I picked pretty good ones :-)

    To treat me with the same respect that I show to them.

    That's about it really.

    Not much, just your basic adoration and hero-worship. And chocolate.

    Seriously, I expect my friends to be themselves, interact as much as they can/would like, and not be jackholes. But I've never gotten the PMs and noodz so perhaps I am missing out on the full MFP experience.

    as said before - noodz; but make them before and after noodz so I can "motivate" and "inspire" you
