I collect "friends" on MFP. The hard part is getting them in my van.

I don't participate in hump day so I figured I didn't "qualify"0 -

Ok, I am a married man, although my GF is not fond of her, so since you have an open profile can I just creep on you that way...just asking for science sake...

Neither do I... I try to avoid MFP on Wednesday's until people put their pants back on.2 -

I would agree with you, however, if you aren't adding from an "Add Me" thread, what would cause you to send a friend request to anyone?
When you hang around and lurk and learn, you start to figure out who knows there stuff...who has similar interests from a fitness standpoint, etc...for me it always took a pretty natural course, just like in the real world...you meet people you have in commons with and go from there...I've never been particularly active on my feed though...I'm that friend that might post something once or twice a month or something...and I've never been one for the atta boys!3 -
I don't send them or accept them. And I don't understand the need for a friend list. Active conversations are taking place 24 hours a day on this site, on every topic imaginable. Anyone's free to join in on these conversations and be friendly if they want to be. For one-on-one chats, there's the PM option. Diaries are often open enabling the curious to see how successful people eat, so there's that too. Seems the Friend List thing is most often used to facilitate cliquishness and exclusivity. I'll pass on that.
I like to sprinkle my wall posts with curse words without them being *kitten censored.
And my friend list is kicka$$. I love all of them and am pretty dang lucky they like me back.
Luckily, there are many ways to MFP with a style that suits everyone. Personally, I prefer the public discussion forums over walling because profanity is not allowed. Also I'd prefer not to read profanity, as I have to hear it all the time at my workplace and it's lost its outlaw luster for me. As much as I'm tempted to use a choice word or two on the main forums, I'm forced to come up with more creative solutions which I find challenging and useful
. Although it seemed the profanity filter was broken for awhile. Don't know if they fixed that.Profanity will never lose it's luster for me.
Zero fvcks given.
Sorry...in for the profanity discussion...
I don't get the idea of "profanity." Who decided that certain words are bad? Aren't "ugly" or "hate" bad words?
If I write, "I really want some feckin pizza right now." That doesn't hurt anyone. I don't see the point of avoiding some words because some random person arbitrarily decided they were "curse" words
On the other hand, I do try to keep it a lil classy in the street. So I save "feck" for when it really calls for it_Sugar_interrupted wrote: »GnothiSeauton23 wrote: »GnothiSeauton23 wrote: »I just assume anyone who creates a thread specifically to tell people to add them is very attention seeking...and lazy.

I will only send someone a friend request if I've interacted with them in the forums for a certain period of time. That time is directly proportional to how awesome I think their posts are.
Or if they participate in hump day.
This.
But... It's how I decide if I am going to accept or not....
In my 2ish years here, I've sent maybe 7FRs.
One of 7!

As for sending FR...my list is really full, so you have to really pique my interest (or be hawt + into soccer)
As for accepting, it's.... 1. You seem decidedly cool or funny in some way 2. I haven't seen you be too annoying 3. I've eaten my share of peanut butter for the day and am feeling friendly enough2 -
If it's just a random friend request and we haven't "chatted in a forum" I don't accept. I figured they've seen my picture and decided I looked ok and its time to commence with the freaky s**t. I honestly don't get that many random FR though.1

What if the profile pic is of a hat and still send a friend request? Hat fetish?
Only on Tuesdays and bank holidays.

Feckin? Is that bad? I just go for the full on word...cuz that's how I talk in real life anyhow. Too bad my phone keeps changing it to ducking.
