    so if i understand it right...
    As a married man it is weird to ask a man to friend him...but woman is oke?
    What about a married woman asking woman to friend them??? weird too?

    >:)o:) Kinda a tough one lol
    What about a gay dude? Should all his MFP friends be female?

    And I guess anyone who's bi shouldn't have any online friends. That must suck.

    Y'all are really piling on pollypocket here. After about 40 posts slamming her, I think she's got the idea.

    It's a forum. Sometimes people don't read the replies before they post. Didn't see one where she asked for a white knight either.

    I may be alone in this sentiment, but I think it's fair for your wife not to be happy about your female friends and for her to be snoping your account. My husband and I have a joint Facebook account and would have a joint MFP too if it was physically possible.

    I have exactly one friend on here who is male. I have a lot of respect for him and he doesn't come around the forums anymore. If not for that specific situation, it would be zero.

    Same rules apply in real life. Unless I have to talk to men as a requirement for my job, I don't without my husband present.

    If I was your wife, your MFP account would've been deleted long ago.

    My husband has no idea who I am "online friends" with. And I have no idea who his online friends are. And we're both OK with that. We've been married 24 years. We don't need to be up each other's *kitten* 24/7.

    Exact same here. DH isn't on MFP and I'm not on the sites/forums he's interested in. We do have lives outside of being married. I have women and men friends on here, most if not all the men are married.

    I've always viewed MFP as my opportunity to talk about fitness and diet as much as I want with like-minded people. I never really thought about it from a male/female perspective as I don't have extremely personal conversations with my MFP friends.

    Are all the girls young, half-naked and "flirting" with you or something? If your intentions were innocent and you keep it relevant to MFP- I just don't see the big deal here.

    I don't see why "being young" is a requisite for being "half-naked and "flirting" with you or something?"
    but the rest is true.

    That would put a whole new spin on the "My SO is sabotaging me" threads. :laugh:

    Lol. I know most people don't approach life or relationships like I do. ;)

    But since I'm in a very small minority with regard to interacting with people as a married woman, it would maybe give the OP some perspective on how reasonable his wife is.

    And nothing I my original post is exaggerated.

    So....here is the issue:
    I have an imbalance of female MFP friends to male. My wife (who is not part of MFP) thinks its a bit weird (me too, I guess). The reason I have not requested male MFP friends is because it seems weird to ask because, well, just because. There are some guys that have really similar self improvement and similar goals, but I suppose the issue is that requesting is weird. That said, if your a dude and are serious about getting (and staying) fit, please add me.

    Thanks....i hope.

    So... should I have skipped including the d!ck pics when I sent you a friend request?
