Since you are reading this you are here at mfp chit chat forum. What is it about personalities online that attract you or entice you? What kind of personality catches your attention and interests you? What type of personality immediately makes you roll your eyes or shake your head? An opinion is quick to be formed online, and I want to know what it is that gives you that first impression about fellow personalities on online forums. Do you group personalities? Like the funnies, the meanies, the whineys? Do you immediately like or dislike a poster based on one or two posts? How do you categorize your fellow mfpers? Categorize us!! We don't know which table to sit at! Edit to add: Just generalities people not specifics. Geez.

"At which table should we sit?" - The grammar Nazis
The mean girls clique
The humorous trolls (Do they actually do anything fitness related?)
The know-it-alls - Always the first to parrot the same 'ol knowledge "Eat what you want, make it fit"
The lurkers (If they don't speak, do they really even exist?)
How'd you get a flag on this one?

Lets see. There is definitely a group that I consider the "Hey Look at Me's" and I am most certain there is a private group that call them selves the "Let's get Pudgy Gang"
But mostly just think you are all fun and silly and enjoy the heck outta ya1 -
So this isn't about which table we're going to sit at for Thanksgiving dinner?0

Funny

Insightful

Old horny men

Not exactly
Do you immediately like or dislike a poster based on one or two posts?
I don't notice anyone after one or two posts

Only two matter to me. The ones who seem to like me and the ones who seem not to. But since I don't really know and never will, I'll give 'em all the benefit of the doubt and enjoy the show.
As long as they don't tell me to eat it and just make it fit into my daily calorie goal. Then they can f*** off.
Calorie goals are overrated, have you tried keto? It's ONLY the diet of the gods. Just saying the word keto sheds off 1/10th of a pound.1 -

I only want to sit at the "Good Karma Table." Some, only some, Archie Bunkers will be accepted.

Can I just request a table ...id like to sit with @beingmore1 table right next to the shirtless men table but across from the mfper crush table...ideal triangle of entertainment ...behind us is the selfie table so no worries of dodging odd photobombs0

I never really thought about other posters like this.
Table 1- People whose posts are hard to read. They may not spell well, use punctuation, don't include important information. They post vaguely or post huge blocks of text irrelevant to their actual question. They don't read or respond to others posts very well.
Table 2- There are people who love to post pictures or gifs. The more cats the better.
Table 3- The fad diet/exercise crowd. It is not calories that makes you lose/gain weight it is ___________ .
Table 4- The patient information desk workers. They answer the same questions day in and out and mostly stay polite and friendly.
Table 5- The scholar/scientist/engineeer. They have spreadsheets and studies. They love data and accuracy. Some of the other tables drive them crazy.
Table 6- the white knights or message board moms. One defends a poster. The other apologes for or chastizes the other posters. I think they go together. They both think everyone is being kind of terrible to the poor OP. Source of mean poster threads.
Table 7- lurkers and disappearing posters. They might all be under the table so it looks empty.
Probably many more tables and I don't know where to sit.2 -
There’s the table for people who have a sense of humor. It’s big and anyone can join that table as long as they don’t also occupy
The table for people who are easily wounded. If these people aren’t careful and don’t know how to interpret online sarcasm and affectionate provoking, it’s likely they’ll eventually find themselves at
The table for rage quitters. Unsurprisingly it’s empty, because they all took their ball and went home.9 -
Whatever table the mashed potatoes are at, is where I'll be.2

I will also sit at the luau table. The one with sushi. It may have one loud mouth talking dude from Boston sitting there. And yes, I admit that you need to speak loud for me to hear. But geezus, I'm not that deaf. You don't have to bullhorn in my ear that loudly. Geezus.0

count me in!
we can talk about womenz, and cars, and womenz in cars and guns and womenz with guns and football... and cheerleaders.
we can make a big mess and then shout: "Hey womenz, clean this up, will 'ya?"
then after eating waaaay too much, sit in recliners, unbuckle our pants and fall asleep in recliners while watching football on television.

The patriarchy table? Finally somewhere I belong0 -
The banana, cat, meme, gif (but pronounced the correct way with a G and NOT a J) table.1

But then they come back and sit at the sense of humor table pretending to be a new guest and wearing one of these

Ahh yes, touting their newfound sense of humor. Which almost always devolves into cutting jokes and then caustic attacks and finally needy self-deprecation.0 -

I'm usually attracted to somewhat outgoing personalities, or just very easygoing people.
Online to me everyone seems outgoing because I'm just reading your thoughts and opinions, no voice or body language to mess it up!
I can't categorize you! You are all so unique (except when you return under a new username!)
I say one huge table...or several small ones and we play "musical chairs" and all move around every so often!
I like everyone, I enjoy all the personalities and learn from all of you, even if I don't agree, sometimes that is better because it makes me think more.
I actually don't like sitting at tables...so I'll be the lady standing against the wall watching everyone.3 -
