in Introduce Yourself
Sorry guys I am not exactly new to MFP but I love this site. The calorie counter app for my Android phone is why I came to find this site. I've made quite a few friends while here and its been great.
That being said I'm reaching out to the fellas on the site. If you are like me, the female friend request are easy, but the male friend request may be a little awkward. It looks good with the 90% female friend ratio but what I'm here for is to improve myself, and a male (no offense ladies) working toward the same goals would be helpful in a lot of circumstances.
I love you ladies though because you keep it real.

Me:
My passion is weight training but hate cardio.
I do cardio only because its part of the plan.
I'm not giving up my BEER or occasional Crown Royal (unless instructed by a doctor) for no one.
Every now and then (before I wake up) I still believe there is a professional athlete buried within.
I'm 5'10" and at my peak I weighed in at 255 pounds (sadly not muscle).

If you can relate to anything I've said feel free to send me a friend request.

    I totally understand, I'm not trying to get on here to get personal with anyone. We are alittle out numbered here but I base my friends off of their goals, how much weight they've lost and to get great work out tips. I do laugh and joke and has received some quite "special" private messages, but I am here to focus get in shape and enjoy this new lifestyle change. Yes I have made some good friends along the way and alot of people from here are on my FB, but I keep those website different, no syncing on this end. But I do tend to freind more guys then females because I can relate better to them as far as eating and working out, because at the end of the day I cant ask a girl what kind of undergarments are appropriate to workout in, #IJS. I get ya though, but you're already my friend. Keep it up and good Luck!

    Great post!

    I say this because when I get a friend request from a guy I check to see who his "friends" are, and, right or wrong, if all I see are woman then I will decline the request...especially if there is no message with the request.

    EDIT: don't get me wrong, I don't think that highly of myself, but it just doesn't make me comfortable.

    Hi Bud,

    I'm more on the cardio so far, trying to work in more weight training. More of a whiskey drinker, which is half the calories of beer (although I love the rich beers as well).

    Friend request coming your way!

    Your apprehension doesn't surprise me.
    Just want to make this site work for me and my MFP friends.
