In other news: I have learned from MFP that dating sites are scary as *kitten* and to be avoided at all costs. I mean, for me it's not a problem.. but daaaaaaaang, I would worry about any of my few friends who use those sites (men or women) when and if they chose to use them. Yeesh.0

I've learned you can't click 'awesome' and 'insightful' for same post. It's one or the other but you can't do both. The bastids...

Not so true. I get way more *kitten* here than I do in real life
Maybe it only applies to me then
What kind of attention are you looking for exactly? I see you and recognize your screen name. Do you want more people to tell you that you are beautiful? Do you want more people to tag you in threads? i guess I don't understand what you are looking for.
I'm not looking for anything. I was just simply making a statement based on my experience. Not everyone here is thirsty, so I guess you should get that out of your head.
Wasn't in my head. I was simply asking what kind of attention you are looking for since I was trying to understand your comments. Word of advice...don't be petty when it's unwarranted. Makes you look bad and unapproachable. This will probably make you feel more ignored. Why should I interact with you if you are gonna throw *kitten* like that out there? Just something to think about.
Why assume someone is looking for attention? Like I said, it was a simple observation based on my experience. It's an opinion, and you know what they say about opinions (yes, I even say it about mine). And I wasn't being petty. I feel like your comment was trying to put me on blast, so I made the comment I did because I felt yours was trying to imply something. Not everyone has a hidden agenda.
For what it's worth, I didn't assume you were seeking attention. Having been in the thread(s) in question and having observed for several months, I would say your observations are correct. There do appear to be a disproportionately small group of people who constantly get attention in the way comments, conversation, likes, etc. The rest get ignored all together. And it's not even that the thread moves all that fast. It does seem to parallel real life a bit.
You mean like "cliques"?
Oh gawd no, not cliques,again!
I have said for ages the selfie thread and,is popularity contest. Just like high school. I rarely post there because I end up feeling like *kitten* after. That is on me for letting myself feel that way. Those that truly love/like me accept me for who Is l am. I don't need validation from random people.
As for people connecting and becoming friends, that doesn't bother me. It's life. I have made some good friends here that I talk to daily. Bonds and inside jokes happen. Again, it's life.
I am not directing this at anyone just my thoughts, I happened to quote you J because of the clique joke.
I didn't know we were allowed in the selfie thread. I thought those 5 people owned it.
Near wet my pants laughing :laugh:1 -
I've learnt words are not near as satisfying as actually being able to thump someone
Oh and Im going to start a clique for the cliqueless
Annnnd there are wankers about here but that's what ignore is for so it's all good. Although we need to be able to ignore more than 5 :laugh:

There's a limit to how many people you can ignore? That's something new I learned.2 -

Wankers is a funny word.1 -
See I never knew this! I kept getting friend request from creepy looking dudes and was like nope. Now I know why!!!
I'm here for support, motivation and use of the tool MFP was made for. I add girls on here with similar goals or fellow vegetarians so I can creep diaries for ideas and to be like, if that girl is my size and doing it, I can too. Craziness.1 -
Some people don't get that you are here for health, friends, support and some inocente fun!
If you wanna find a fling there's a bunch of others sites to go!
Some people misunderstand you and text is not the best way sometimes to make judgment on ones personality
Support your friends thru their battles, be kind, be fun, be naughty but always with respect ✊0 -

In my case I come here mostly on the week during the day and a bit before bed on weekends I'm always out and about grocery shopping, exercising, walking, biking, hiking enjoying the 2 days of the week me and my bf have together! I think. That's what happens to most people enjoying the free time and the summer when winter comes I bet there's going to be more of us here during the weekend specially me lolo don't like the cold and living in the city the snow part is not pretty all slush

I've learned it's a very bad idea to share your MFP affair stories among other MFPrs. The word WILL get around. Folks will get mad, rage quit, come back and start more drama.
I also learned someone will always complain about things not belonging on a fitness site blah blah blah.1 -

I seem to always miss the good stuff !0 -
Having posts overlooked and keeping everything locked down to the point that few have any interest in being "friends" will be a good thing in the long run.3

I have found their are a handful of Mfp friends that actually make for good friends outside of just the Mfp app.
Some are here to get their friends count as high as possible!
Most People would rather hit "like" instead of commenting
If you lucky you will find a person that motivates you and you can share dirty thoughts

That if the people ive seen on these forums posting for years were actually serious about fitness, they would all be instagram models by now. Majority of people in the forums only have fit fingers.12

I disagree with the instagram models thing. Not everyone is an attention hoor. Although there are PLENTY on here that's for sure.4 -

Hmmm.... well I have learned bad people hide behind very likable personalities, nice faces, fit bodies and fictional characters. They show a very well calculated version of themselves to hide their malicious ways but I think we've all learned this lesson once or twice

I learned that if you search google images for any mfp username, you just might find your own picture.

I've seen this too, especially if they've quoted you in the selfie thread or vice versa
Yes or if they've quoted you in ANY thread.0
