    I don't always send FR's but when I do, I include a message.

    Good Morning.... When I sent invites in the past I always included a message.... I have recently have rebooted on MFP after a major setback with my Ostomy and the stoma. I did trash everything friends all of my log in days everything went into the trash. A clean slate for me and yes if you would like to friend me I am good with it.
    I am a retired Savory/Exec. Chef, married for 35+ years with 2 boys and several grand kids. I am also on Fitbit premium and I am also premium on here as well. I also belong to Silver and Fit, I am just looking for friends that will encourage me after this set back i have gone through. I need to get back in the rhythm of things and daily life.
    Feel free to look at my profile, but I must warn you I haven't filled it out yet. I guess I should do that DON'T YA KNOW.
    You can find me on FitBit
    https://www.fitbit.com/user/3MFWZ8
    Feel free to add me as a friend there as well
    Doc ( Damm Old Chef)

    I will send a message when I send a FR, usually referencing why (e.g.: “we were discussing XYZ in the forum”, “looks like we have similar goals” etc). Definitely have had some weirdos friend me, I usually ignore or unfriend after a while. I’m learning about the weirdos as I’ve only really been active in the forums since Lockdown before that I wasn’t using them. That being said, I have gained some GOOD friends which have been encouraging.

    Ha! A friend request just popped up as I was typing this. Let’s see if there’s a note...

    There was no message. 🙃

    funny thing. after reading some of the responses to this thread, i accepted 2 FR with no messages. i don't want cheerleaders, but both of these people have completely ignored me since then. i do thumbs up their exercise and completing their day coming in under calories, but for them i don't seem to exist.

    which makes me wonder why they even sent me a FR - neither of them seem to be friend collectors. it seems so odd to me...
