I'm new. How do I make friends?

jpswfe · January 2016

Hi. I'm new to MFP. I'd like to make some friends. I thought if I enjoyed a person's post that I'd be able to click on their user name and send a friend request. I see it isn't that easy. Am I missing something? Do I need to write down their user name & then send a friend request from somewhere else? Please help.

Hello, welcome to MFP, glad to have you!
Just a suggestion, you could try filling out your profile and adding a picture. Most here are open to new friends, no matter what they look like or where they are at in their fitness journey.
I know when I get a friends request from someone who hasn't taken the time to do the above I ignore or decline.

Clicking on the user name brings up a box. If you click on the user name in the box it will take you to their profile and you can make a friend request there.

Hi. I did just add a photo but it isn't showing up in my posts. I only see it in my own profile section. I like this app so far but it certainly isn't as user friendly as Facebook. Haha!
