Are you more willing to accept FR if you find the person attractive?

All things being equal I'm less likely to add some random I have no interaction history with if they seem a collector/just a pretty face.

It seems pretty popular to on this site to just stockpile people you think are pretty though.

    No! I like personality and the willingness to share their thoughts and input!

    I way prefer people who have a personality. I like when the people on my FL and I can actually engage.

    2 things:
    1. (For me) attractiveness is more of a consideration if the person is single, great convo and local (a 10/10 300 miles away doesn't really matter)
    2. Sometimes they have such an incredible body that I have to admire the dedication and hard work. It's a compliment. Sometimes the body is just so amazing that I just am compelled to follow their progress.

    My other friends were likely the result of a good back and forth convo, so the attractiveness of the person is secondary

    I accept friends who are motivational and here mainly to improve or make a change in their diet and fitness. It is added bonus if they are fun as well! Do not like ppl who add you and never engage.

    I actually like personality more, but on here it's nice to be able to be motivated by others and see the challenges that some have been through and over came.

    I accept every FR. If they prove to be uninteresting, I delete them later. Regardless of how big their boobs are.

    If a person is genuine, has a sense of humor, and is motivated in whatever their own personal goals may be then I am open to being friends. Looks and lame a** one liners get you nowhere.

    I guess it depends what you're here for. Personally, I'm here for fitness/weight loss tips and support. I keep an eye out for like-minded people who express themselves in a way that appeals to me and reach out to them if I think we might be able to help each other. I would never *friend* someone simply to add to my collection. In fact, I don't understand why anyone would do that, but I didn't grow up with facebook (thank goodness.)

    Initially, I didn't take any requests because I don't have a lot of extra time to 'engage'. If I have time to waste, it's typically on the boards. I have to wonder why I get so many that have absolutely no message and the people sign up to lose 7 lbs but have private profiles. I'm not looking to 'collect' but I am always open to someone who has something to say that catches my attention. Mostly, my friending is limited to real life. If that makes me an a** then...I have to deal.

    Could care less what they look like. It's 100% what their outlook and mindset is.

    I mostly accept all FR. I have never even thought of denying a FR based on looks.

    I just barely started becoming active in the forums. Before that I only had friends that I knew irl, and only 4 of them, lol. But now, none of them are active at all on here. So, after becoming more active in the forums and recieving lots of friend requests, I have accepted most of them initially, regardless of profile pic, but when I see that they're not active with their daily diary/updates, or that they're just trying to sell stuff then I delete them without abandon, lol.

    I really don't care what they look like. I accept almost all friend requests , unless they just seem to be creepy. But if I find their posts annoying I'll delete them within the first couple days

    I don't really add many people these days. I have lots on my FL and can't really manage any more. I will consider adding if the message is particularly meaningful.

    For women, looks don't matter to me when I do accept - it's all about the personality.
    For men, I admittedly tend to shy away from adding the ultra buff ones... just because I'm not looking for action and don't need the eye candy. (I have my guy, and he's all I need). I've added a few because they're great guys.

    No thank you to people who are looking to collect me and admire. I am in decent shape, I don't need an army of people to tell me that. :smile:

    The main reason I've added in the past: because the person seemed so awesome I'd be dumb NOT to, or because I thought maybe I could help somehow.

    Yeah but it only works on a Netscape browser.

    This makes me sad. *kicks rocks*

    haha.. some good natured teasing here...

    you have the analyst in me trying to determine which criteria makes you sad...
    - is it that you feel you're too buff?
    - is it that you're looking to collect?
    - is it that you don't feel you're awesome enough?
    - you don't like to send meaningful messages?
    - or is it cuz I'm taken?

    Lol
