i don't require a message from folks, but in general, what makes you add someone? for me, if i see they're into some of the same things i am (skating, anime, books) i'll add them, or if they make me laugh in the boards i'll send them a request. you all?

    I add anyone that sends a request and remove people who don't log in for more than 14 days.

    I require a message, and the reason for this is because if they are willing to take the time to put a little message in the box, than I know 1 they read my profile which means I've either inspired them to add me, or 2) they seem to think we have similar goals.

    I'm not a friend catcher, I have about 70ish friends on my list, of which I interact with almost all of them daily.

    I add people if (1) they are hot (2) if we have a lot of mutual friends, because if that's the case, they must be cool cuz I have cool peeps on here and (3) they are funny and make me laugh.

    if they're hot, inspirational, witty and thick skinned, have an interesting reason for friending me, etc. or a combination of all of the above.

    I'm a brat and I require a message. That is mostly, because I come with a warning label thta I have a disclaimer and I want to KNOW that people ready my profile BEFORE they send me a request and are not going to be offended by me being me. I don't care what your goals are, if you want/need support, I'll give it to you, regardless of what we have in common. Ultimately, we all hve a common goal - to get/be healthy.

    I hunted down and added the people I know from real life who are on here. I have been added by some lovely people who I don't know away from this site, and I like reading their stuff. It gives me a totally different view on things.

    I have added people because I have seen what they have posted in the forums and they seemed fun which all my MFP friends are!! LOL.

    Message (must in some shape or form express their love for me) & they must have a sense of humor!!!! I'm supportive, but I love joking around as well! Having mutual friends helps exponentially! I also say very crude things and am proud to say I have ZERO deletions this week! Better than weight loss :laugh:

    I add people that live in the same area as me.. or are from Hawaii since I used to live there.

    Most importantly I LOVE adding people that have a GREAT sense of humor. I'd go bananas if my feed was full of seriousness...!

    I also add people that have inspired me via success stories. It's usually those that are shooting for the same goals as me.

    I add friends because I never know when they may say something I need to hear or have a suggestion that works for them that I may want to try. Plus, I just like having friends. Friends make the world go round. :)

    This. I'm offensive and crass, you have to have a message to get in the pool. I'll add people who have a similar sense of humor, food intolerances, or are also runners...

    I require a message. If you wanna be my friend, just tell me WHY! That's all I ask!

    A lot are people who've said I'm an inspiration to them (*blushes*), some are people I know irl, and the rest are all people that I've met along the way, mostly through challenges and/or friends of friends. Oh, and the cool kids that make me lol like an idiot at work.

    I have such a wide variety of friends. I have some because they are so darn fun. Some because they are so inspirational. There are a wide variety of reasons. If friends don't play nicely though, they won't stay on the list. All of my friends get to be who they are without any stalking, rudeness, etc.

    If I go to add someone and see that they have one of those generic, "make sure you send me a message with a friend request or I won't accept your add" markers on their page, sometimes I will be mischevious and send a message when I send the add which says, "This is the required message." Most folks have a sense of humor and add me anyway :)
