What is your "ideal MPF friend" like?

Options
"If you like pina coladas...."

Sometimes I'll add a new friend on MFP and then realize we have very little in common. I love making new friends from all walks of life in general, but I find that I get the most motivation here on MFP from having friends with similar challenges and diets as me. My ideal friend would be:

-age 25-50
-with 20-70 lbs to lose
-someone who shares their food diary! :)
-a fellow pescatarian (or vegetarian) who isn't doing IF or keto (more power to you if you are; it's just not what I'm doing)
-someone who has a small number of friends and interacts with them every day or two
-loves the outdoors: hikes, camps, gets outside

Please add me if we are like-minded!

Again, I hope this doesn't come off as exclusionary; there are just so many people here and I'd love to find some that are a good fit! Who would be your ideal MFP friend?

    someone who tolerates my silliness and doesn't feel compelled to tell me if they unfriend me

    One who’s main reason is to be a support system for why we joined this app, to lose or maintain weight loss or health goals. Secondary to that, ones with a sense of humor and a bonus if your within driving distance of me!

    One who is willing to cheer one another on! I don't care if they eat the same, I like looking at other's diaries for inspiration and find keeping mine open keeps me accountable. I enjoy hearing other's workouts too, it inspires me to do more.

    My ideal MFP friend is one that I think about even when they are not in my friends list.

    :heart:

    My favorite MFP friends are low-maintenance but I know would be there for in heartbeat if I needed them. Those people come in all shapes, sizes, fitness levels, and locations :)

    ETA and ages. Because some of y'all aren't as young as you used to be :lol: (neither am I). And some of you are mere babies.

    One who is online regularly . One who is motivated yet chill and can talk about stuff beyond food and fitness. I had a good friend on here but I threw in the towel and when I came back I couldn't find her.
