    I haz no standards, how do you think @SwannySez made it onto my list?

    You are SO dead to me right now.

    *typed through tears*

    What if I show you my assets? They're really big.

    *sniff*

    That might help...

    Just wait until I show you my retirement portfolio.

    I am never gonna get over this case of tennis elbow...

    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.

    Who do you add and why? Usually when I add someone it's because I want to say something to them not-on-a-forum
    Do you have criteria for who you will accept? No, I'll accept nearly anyone but I'll delete them if they're just collecting friends and there's no interaction
    Are you shy about sending FRs out of a fear of rejection? No way, Rejection is my middle name!
    Should MFP change it so that you are notified when someone unfriends you? I don't really think it matters?
    Will you taker back someone who has unfriended you? Sure, I'd probably just think "Weren't we already friends? Huh."
    Will you accept someone who rejected your FR and then sends you one of their own? Probably, I'm not sure I'd remember if anyone rejected a request I've sent in the past
    Do you like cheese? It's alright
    Have you ever had a threesome? No
    How much yourself re you on other people's walls? I don't really post on walls, and "myself" is probably too complex and boring for a two-dimensional space like that anyway
    Do you have any general knowledge you'd like to drop about FRs or your or others' FLs? I have nothing
    Do you notice when someone unfriends you? I'm not sure if anyone's ever unfriended me, so I guess the answer is "No"
    Could you say right now without looking how many friends you have here on MFP? I really don't know
    Do you want to leave an anonymous message for someone? Go with the blue
    Do you want to sing a little song? No
    Do a little dance? I'd rather sing

    I actually have a lot of middle names if I'm always telling the truth (I use that phrase a lot)

    Reckoner's not my last name tho, and 67 isn't the year I was born. "Reckoners" was an old paintball team I captained WAYYYY back in the day, and 67 is the caliber-size of small-bore paint :) ((I used to be really into paintball when I was younger))

    I was kidding. I know you made a comment about a middle before I just couldn't remember what the middle name was lol

    I don't remember it either but it was somethin like...three-words-long, and probably ridiculous

    1. I add people that I think are interesting

    2. Yes, Normally will not accept friend collectors or guys with large numbers of all females, unless I know them through forums or IG. AND, the question is not about if I will accept them, the question is for how ling.

    3. Not at all. Most of my FRs are not accepted...It's whatever.

    4. Nah, I keep my list low, I know who does.

    5. Depends on why they unfriended me. I delete people randomly (then regret-sometimes), so I understand.

    6. Yes. Sometimes. I will creep their page before accepting, and sometimes I hit the Send FR button instead of accepting their request.

    7. Not a huge dairy fan, period, unless pizza!

    8. Nope

    9. Yes, I am an interactive friend. The more interactive they are, the more interactive I am.

    10. No, only when asked about a specific person

    11. Yes I do.

    12. 43

    13. Please accept my FR...

    14/15. Nope

    Nothing. I was just answering the OP question.
    And I said "groveling" in jest. Because I'm the worst.

    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.

    Can confirm 😏
