I got the mail today and not one flowered scented envelope. I am greatly saddened. Perhaps my friendship request requirements are too strict. From now on you may send me a simple handwritten note attached to either a squirrels neck or carrier pigeon. This should really simplify the process. If allergies are involved...simply attach the handwritten not to a helium balloon bouquet and let it go in my direction.

Do you accept requests via owl?

Meh, I get a bunch of friend requests. It gets old when you have no idea who they are. Not sure putting stipulations in the profile helped though as I still get a few per day with nothing... Don't like it? Don't care.

Haha yes.

This is a serious site for most.

I use it to log my food, and if someone wants inspiration from looking at my diary, I don't mind.
Don't really understand the over analysing here though. What else aside from food consumed is available on ones profile?

Also why are people's diaries so sacred?

Do people treat this place like fb?

There is nothing you can really see on my profile. That's of no matter to me though. I take fitness and nutrition pretty seriously. It's an important part of my life. I also believe in science and have specific views on what is "right" and "wrong". Is it Facebook? No. But I still don't want randoms on my profile. This isn't a peep show. If you want pics, just ask...

Lmao this forum is so serious right now

anyone else get a chuckle out of serious profiles that have a set of rules you must abide to even be considered to be accepted as a friend? Or profiles that say they are no longer accepting friends at this time? It makes me chuckle a bit.

I think my rules for accepting friend requests are very reasonable and simple. I have to have had positive interaction with them, for example maybe we've had an interesting conversation on the forum already about workout programs, diet, etc. So it seems likely we'll have plenty to talk about. Or they live nearby to me and we might meet up. That's it. I don't want to be another name on someone's collection of 'friends' and never interact with them again. I don't want to be reading loads of updates from someone I have no personal interest in. None of that interests me. Nobody here owes anyone a friendship.

Meh...you stick around long enough and the friend requests get kind of annoying...especially when they're completely random and you have no idea why they want to be "friends". Most of these people are the same one's that get butt hurt that you didn't basically commend them on waking up in the morning.

It's also pretty obvious that people don't pay any *kitten* attention...I've stated I'm not accepting requests for a long time now, but they keep coming. I'm not really here to be friends with everyone.

Yep, I've accepted friend requests before and that is the last I've heard from them. Also a lot of people seem to think other people should be motivating them somehow, I'm not that person who posts phrases like 'Great job!' or 'You can do it!'.

I use this place to log food, anything beyond that has to be pretty worthwhile to be interest me.

I usually have applicants answer a list of twenty questions. There's also a way to bypass all this if they parcel some quest bars to me. Of course, none of this is really necessary if you happen to be good looking because then I'll accept you without question and use you to beautify my friend list.

I went the Quest Bar route.

@synchkat is it true that in order to send you a friend request, one must send you a video try out of oneself dressed in spandex, leotard, and sparkling tutu performing a self choreographed ice skating routine to the music of Oh Canada?

@lauranorr clearly someone has been spreading gossip and you've gotten it all wrong. The leotard must be bedazzled too. Bonus points if you can work in some sort of I Kat into the routine or costume.

Ah, you just missed my open enrollment period. Please keep your packet handy in the meantime and feel free to re-apply Late Winter 2017.

Thank you for being awesome and have an awesome day.

(shuts window)

Love it!

Does this mean I'm widely unpopular because I don't get friend requests?

Although I've never understood wanting to be friends with people that you've never interacted with??
