in Introduce Yourself
Do any of the other women on here keep getting random friend requests from men whose profiles are locked and have like 300+ friends already lol
I’m here to log my weight and fitness, to get meal ideas and to share success and motivation
I don’t need to be a number on a list

    As a guy, I see both men and women that, as I call them, are 'Collectors' and have 100+ friends. In my experience, those people tend to be the least supportive and are only interested in themselves.

    Yes I get them frequently. I decline the men and I've accepted female and then check out their page. If they look legit I keep them otherwise I remove immediately. I never used to post that much and now that I am, getting a lot more of these.

    @callsitlikeiseeit I like your approach. I get friend requests from people that don't have a single post on the boards. Don't really trust that. I know it is possible that they just use the tracking aspect, but still . . . Anywho, these days it is more a matter of not investing in "friends" that aren't friends. Don't got NO time for THAT! :grimace: I have a propensity for trying to fix people's problems. Not my job, and I am finally learning to stop that. I also have no tolerance for people that just want to whine and don't want to work! So I really don't want friend requests unless it is someone, such as yourself, that I can SEE what you are doing, and not someone invisible with unknown motives. Hugs to y'all. Be safe!

    If it's random, then see this... https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10823922/help-inappropriate-friend-requests-pics#latest

    If it's not, then decline.

    My profile is locked and I send requests from time-to-time as well. Users can accept or decline as deemed necessary.

    That said, I've been on users lists with a smallish number of friends and they have zero interaction with me. I eventually remove them. Conversely, I've been on lists with a couple hundred or so and they interact all the time.

    Just never know.

    Hey there! I think it happens on both sides of the fence, but interesting....how do I know if I'm locking my account? Would like to make available as I agree it is nice to see who you may be talking with. Take care everyone and stay motivated!! Jim

    I have gotten several lately also. After accepting looked at their feed and instead of US all had some “sporting” website in another country posted. Unfriended and done.

    Actually I'm being stalked by a guy here!! :s
    He constantly sends me friend request, one of my MFP friends suggested let his request sit so he won't be able to send again, but I still got a notification this morning that this guy wants to be friends! Complaining to support is useless. Some people on my fl are like just add him. Nope I don't add everyone and the guy is clearly a *kitten* stalker so NO!
