    1. Who do you add and why? - I rarely send requests
    2. Do you have criteria for who you will accept? - I prefer there to be a message along with the request
    3. Are you shy about sending FRs out of a fear of rejection? - Hells yea
    4. Should MFP change it so that you are notified when someone unfriends you? - Don't think that's necessary
    5. Will you take back someone who has unfriended you? - With the right bribery and groveling
    6. Will you accept someone who rejected your FR and then sends you one of their own? - Hadn't' ever thought about that
    7. Do you like cheese? - More than I can express within the written language
    8. Have you ever had a threesome? - Not yet today
    9. How much yourself are you on other people's walls? - Not very. I am a pretty crappy MFP friend
    10. Do you have any general knowledge you'd like to drop about FRs or your or others' FLs? - I am here to learn, not teach
    11. Do you notice when someone unfriends you? - Not unless we were good friends
    12. Could you say right now without looking how many friends you have here on MFP? - Not exactly but I know rounds about.
    13. Do you want to leave an anonymous message for someone? - Only to like 28 of you
    14. Do you want to sing a little song? - I do enjoy to sing. But mostly in the car or shower
    15. Do a little dance? - Dancing is not my thang

    I bet a lot of people here look at their Friends List (FL) in very different ways and I think it would be fun to find out how . Me? If I see someone who makes me laugh or with whom I want to make the beast with two backs or who seems smarter than the average bear or who tends to post scandalous photos of themselves in varying states of undress? I sent a Friend Request (FR). I also pretty much accept any FR that comes my way (unless you've done wronged me). So I have a large FL filled with people who are no longer here, who I can't always keep up with and sometimes don't even know. But it's fun. There's people who have been on there since 2012. I also assume that once you're on, that you'll never leave because, duh, I am a Golden God.

    But enough about me.
    1. Who do you add and why?
    2. Do you have criteria for who you will accept?
    3. Are you shy about sending FRs out of a fear of rejection?
    4. Should MFP change it so that you are notified when someone unfriends you?
    5. Will you take back someone who has unfriended you?
    6. Will you accept someone who rejected your FR and then sends you one of their own?
    7. Do you like cheese?
    8. Have you ever had a threesome?
    9. How much yourself are you on other people's walls?
    10. Do you have any general knowledge you'd like to drop about FRs or your or others' FLs?

    13. Do you want to leave an anonymous message for someone?
    14. Do you want to sing a little song?
    15. Do a little dance?

    1. People who make me laugh or I have something in common with. Because I like to laugh and relate to people
    2. Sometimes I will only accept if there is a message. Other times I'm not so fussy
    3. Yes, but not out of fear of rejection, out of fear of me neglecting them
    4. Nah
    5. Yes. I probably would just think it was a system glitch
    6. Yes. See above
    7. Love it
    8. No
    9. I'm myself everywhere, I'm just more comfortable being more so with friends
    10. Nope. I'm blank
    11. Nope
    12. About 118?
    13. I love you. Yes you. No really
    14. Always
    15. Always and then get down tonight


    Edited to correct Swanny's spelling

    TF did I missssssspellll?

    because standards

    There's always an exception to the "standards".

    This must be why she sent me a FR.

    Maybe you're a different kind of Premium.

    Who do you add and why? People I find interesting or encouraging. Hot guys are always welcomed as long as they aren't pervs.
    Do you have criteria for who you will accept? A message along with the FR is required. I'm always curious as to how the person found me & why they would want to be friends.
    Are you shy about sending FRs out of a fear of rejection? Nope
    Should MFP change it so that you are notified when someone unfriends you? NOPE. Good RIDDANCE!
    Will you take back someone who has unfriended you? Depends on why they unfriended me in the 1st place & why they're crawling back to me now.
    Will you accept someone who rejected your FR and then sends you one of their own? Doubtful.
    Do you like cheese? I LOVE CHEESE!!! <3
    Have you ever had a threesome? Heck NO! & NEVER WOULD I!!!!! :angry:
    How much yourself re you on other people's walls? Rarely
    Do you have any general knowledge you'd like to drop about FRs or your or others' FLs? Yes. It's just the internet people. It's NOT that serious!
    Do you notice when someone unfriends you? On rare occasions. It's usually someone who I don't interact with. It's like the trash took itself so they're doing me a favor.
    Could you say right now without looking how many friends you have here on MFP? 3 pages worth
    Do you want to leave an anonymous message for someone? Yes but also no
    Do you want to sing a little song? Nope
    Do a little dance? Make a lil love. Get down tonight??

    Who do you add and why? Pretty much anyone I have an interest in, male or female.
    Do you have criteria for who you will accept? People who have pictures, goals, a story. No pic or story, forget it.
    Are you shy about sending FRs out of a fear of rejection? Not at all.
    Should MFP change it so that you are notified when someone unfriends you? I personally don't care but i can see how others might find it useful.
    Will you taker back someone who has unfriended you? Sure, why not?
    Will you accept someone who rejected your FR and then sends you one of their own? Yes because I have accidentally deleted a request.
    Do you like cheese? Oh yes.
    Have you ever had a threesome? Not to my knowledge.
    How much yourself re you on other people's walls? Not a lot.
    Do you have any general knowledge you'd like to drop about FRs or your or others' FLs? Yes. This is social media, not real life. Stop taking it so seriously.
    Do you notice when someone unfriends you? Not unless I look for someone and notice they are not there. i have no idea what the total number is for me.
    Could you say right now without looking how many friends you have here on MFP? No
    Do you want to leave an anonymous message for someone? You are so good looking it hurts.
    Do you want to sign a little song? No
    Do a little dance? Negative

    I add people I "recognize" from the forums as likeminded. Mostly women.
    I reject most friend requests to be honest because I'm not super active on my wall.
    I have maybe sent 4-5 friend requests in 6 years. People I liked a lot on forums when I was really active on the forums (2013-2014).
    I don't care if people unfriend me. I usually do not notice.
    At one time, I had 200+ MFP "pals" and now I have like 20, if I had to guess...I'm not very active in that realm.
    I unfriend people who try to rope me into their MLM product sales (gross).

    1. Who do you add and why?

    I usually add people that communicate with on the forums.

    2. Do you have criteria for who you will accept?

    I prefer adding people that inspire me to be more creative with my posts.

    3. Are you shy about sending FRs out of a fear of rejection?

    Yes and no. I had a particular person that somewhat hurt my feelings because I assumed she unfriended me, until I realized it’s MFP that glitched and she didn’t in fact delete me. Since then I realized that aside from this site having too many unpredictable malfunctions, if someone doesn’t add me it’s ultimately their loss. I don’t add people often, but when I do it’s because I truly value that person’s input within the forums. Sometimes it’s not reciprocal. That’s life!

    4. Should MFP change it so that you are notified when someone unfriends you?

    Yes.

    5. Will you taker back someone who has unfriended you?

    Depends on what’s said in the messages and what’s the context behind why I was unfriended. Refer to question 3.

    6. Will you accept someone who rejected your FR and then sends you one of their own?

    Again, depends on the context of the situation and whether I have interacted with that person in the past.

    7. Do you like cheese?

    Yes yes yes!

    8. Have you ever had a threesome?

    No.

    9. How much yourself re you on other people's walls?

    Depends on my mood.

    10. Do you have any general knowledge you'd like to drop about FRs or your or others' FLs?

    You got a friend in me!

    11. Do you notice when someone unfriends you?

    Yes.

    12. Could you say right now without looking how many friends you have here on MFP?

    Maybe I think I have 35 friends if I’m not mistaken.

    13. Do you want to leave an anonymous message for someone?

    I’d drink you’re tea anytime! 😏

    14. Do you want to sign a little song?

    This is the song that never ends...

    15. Do a little dance?

    I’m a *kitten* friend Jenny, but I do ❤️ you.

    I ❤️ you too, but promise I wasn’t referring to you.

    Who do you add and why?
    I add mostly if I see or feel that someone is better then me , irrespective of the gender or someone who doesn't have any support at all or anyone actually who is kind, respectful and actually logs and also I feel if that person will support me everyday when I take time out to support them everyday or most of the days.

    Do you have criteria for who you will accept?
    I accept anyone but lately I have seen it isn't a good idea because some people I feel just are here for the social aspect only without even logging, nothing bad but I prefer the ones whose food diary is open, logs and most importantly support in return versus just getting supported and with open food diary

    Are you shy about sending FRs out of a fear of rejection?
    I am an introvert but not shy to send a friend request. I avoid it at times because if i build a list of hundereds of friends i know i wont have time to support them all which is worthless to me if cant support my friends.

    Should MFP change it so that you are notified when someone unfriends you?
    I am neutral to it.

    Will you taker back someone who has unfriended you?
    Don't know and depends

    Will you accept someone who rejected your FR and then sends you one of their own?
    Yes

    Do you like cheese?
    Yes

    Have you ever had a threesome?
    No and don't ever plan to

    How much yourself re you on other people's walls?
    Rarely. Only for the ones who write on my wall or if someone has not logged in a long

    Do you have any general knowledge you'd like to drop about FRs or your or others' FLs?
    No

    Do you notice when someone unfriends you?
    Only if somene who supported me continously or vice versa, not otherwise

    Could you say right now without looking how many friends you have here on MFP?
    As in on this thread or my friendlist ? On this thread I guess none but on my FL 80 count but only like 19 real ones out of it.

    Do you want to leave an anonymous message for someone?
    If you log food , excercise mostly , can support me most of times if i support ya as much, are kind, respectful, determined, not shy to converse , know we can be friends , otherwise we will be wasting each others time .

    Do you want to sign a little song?
    God's Plan by Drake !!

    Do a little dance?
    I suck at it but if someone has patience to teach me i would give it a shot.

    I don't send requests, because I'm a jerk.
    I've managed to acquire some friends, and I know how many I have only because I just looked this morning.
    I accept if I've interacted, and I prefer a message regardless.
    I have been unfriended by one, but thinking about it now I haven't seen that person around so maybe they deactivated.
    I never post on my wall. I rarely post on anyone else's. There are no real photos of me on my profile. My diary isn't open. I don't log my workouts, when they do happen.
    Moral of story: I'm a terrible MFP friend - 0/10 recommend.
