How do you choose your MFP friends??
Replies

I will request a new MFP friend if they have similar interest....ya trying to stick with this new and improved lifestyle !!! If someone request to be my friend, I hope they have a short note...but most of the time I will connect...just because....I also maintain my MFP friends by login time....if someone has not logged in in over 10 days, I usuallly delete them...it's nothing personal, but gotta have some guidelines.0

They pick me - I have no clue as to why.0
-
I'm too shy to pic them but I generally approve them when they request. Maybe I'm still shell-shocked from Facebook and am afraid that MFP friends will find a way to send me Farmville requests, LOL!
lol to Farmville requests. Tell me about it, I did my best to block all of that. I do find myself looking for the like button on here.0 -
if they ask to add me, I will accept, I figure there's a reason why they want to be friends with me on here, we are all in it to get healthy. I usually only add people I know don't take offense, but I am kind of shy when I am not drunk and I haven't been drunk in a while.0

I've only asked a few people when they introduced themselves. I think support is crucial when trying to obtain your weight loss and fitness goals. It is always a bonus when they are very knowledgeable in stuff I'm interested in.:bigsmile:0

I only accept friend request from either:
1. People I know in real life
2. Imaginary people
3. People who aren't imagined, but I don't think they exist because my imaginary friends told me they don't exist
4. Wild animals (preferably endangered species)
5. Minerals
6. Extra-terrestrials
7. People who can make me laugh so hard I start choking0 -
Since, I recently joined I add who ever sends me a request. I don't worry if they are similiar in size or what not. We are all struggling with losing weight and to become healthy. I like all my new friends ! I send random requests too whoever I saw in message boards that I thought was funny or interesting.

Wow. What a fun read this was - from Skanks to Imaginary People. Thanks for all the laughs. MFP is a great group of people!

If you're an *kitten* like me or can keep up at the very least with my mouth, we're good. If you're sensitive to foul language you and I will not get along. That's what's required to be my friend.0
-
I generally don't get any friend requests. I'm not saying that I'm looking, but all of the people I have on my list are people that I know and care about their journey as well.
That may sound a little jerky but that is the truth. I got one invite and was like WTF who is this and denied it.0 -
I can count on one hand the number of friend requests I've sent out. I accept everybody who sends me a message, or I'll accept them without a message if I know them from the boards. I am kind of choosy with who I keep on my list though. If I'm finding that I'm unable to be supportive of someone because I don't agree with their goals (such as constantly undereating), I'll delete them because people need support on here and if I can't give them that, they don't need me around. And I'll delete someone if I'm just not jiving with them personality-wise.0

YESSSS!!!!!!!...... I made the cut! :drinker:0 -
I only accept people who send me cookies.
:noway: But I dont have any cookies......:frown:
LIES!
Actually someone sent me a friend's request with a cookie earlier. It was accepted! :flowerforyou:0 -
Maybe you two should be friends, then! :huh:Some of my reasons:
-I see their posts on other friends' walls and think we'd have things in common
-they enjoy the same exercises or activities that I do
-friends in common
-people who are in great shape and I'd like to learn from
-similar goals
-people who seem fun
-around my age
-live close to me
Don't know why those who sent me FRs picked me, but I'm glad you did...you rock!! :bigsmile:
You already typed out my answer for me... so... thanks!
Not that I want to share.... 0 -
ooo yeh totally agree if they havent logged in for an age i do delete them though i feel really guilty until i think well they gave up on themselves first by not logging in..0

Must have picture of cat .. or we cant be friends : / that is all..0
-
Carp! All the witty answers I was going to post have already been posted by others. Darn you people who can read my thoughts the way the government/aliens/donut salesmen can.
I guess I just add people that I think will tolerate my nonsense and who knows what's wrong with people to make them add me.0 -
People similar to my weight and also people who will support me along the way.0
-
I always accept friend requests, and if I add people it's usually due to geographical location or I see them around a fair bit and like what they have to say.0

I don't want stacks of friends just for the sake of it.
I have friends who:-
1 - log in daily
2 - similar outlook on life
3 - can have some banter with
4 - encourage me to reach targets0 -
I like everyone!! It was the way I was brought up...I am just a really nice guy!!! LOL.....I don't turn anyone away!!! Keep strong people!!!0

Common interests and goals ... that'd be most on here !
FRs only denied if they look like they are selling something and in that case I usually add them and sus. them out.0 -

I take everyone. I'm pretty sure I know why they picked me. But I do delete anyone if they've been more than 30 days of no activity.
