edited October 26 in Chit-Chat
I see a lot of single people on mfp and I'm wondering if it'd be cool for people to post their interests and have people message each other if they're interested and get to know each other?

I know this isn't okcupid or eharmony or anything, but there are so many amazing people here, maybe? I don't know if this is allowed or if people would be interested in it, but it could be cool.

Though, be careful before you give any real info, there could be crazy people on the interwebs!

    Hmmm, kind hesitant to throw too much out there; but I'll just say if you're anywhere in norhtern/central Utah/southern Idaho I'm open to expanding my horizons and getting to know people that have similar goals to get healthy, stay motivated, and if anything magical happens, that's just a bonus.

    OK, I guess I'll be one of the first few ppl to start!

    I'm Skarr, I like to travel, LOVE to go dancing. My favourite things are art (painting & sketch), learning about different cultures (first-hand), playing outdoors :laugh: , and spicey food (I'm learnign to cook with spices). Hmmm, what else to say without revealing too much? :tongue: I'm more of a cat person :laugh: And I like hanging out with jokesters who know how to laugh at themselves! Yay me! :bigsmile:

    P.S. Even though I have yet to post a pic of my face, believe me, I'm hot! :tongue: :laugh:

  • I'm Wescott in Austin, Texas and I'm always interested in exploring all the beauty that Austin and the surrounding Hill Country has to offer in terms of hiking and recreation. I write about sports all the time, so I don't think there's anything sexier than Texas women who know their football!

    I'm definitely interested, but will have to post more info later. Maybe this would be easier to do if a group was created? The thread wouldn't get lost as easily? Just an idea :wink:

    I think a singles thread/group is a great idea (but like the O.P suggested....be smart and safe about what kind of personal info you disclose!)

    Thanks for posting!

  • a nice idea, for sure :-) I'm 36, live in Southeast Michigan.. - love to be and stay active, however I work 2nd shift, and live alone, so it's been a bit of a challenge for me to meet people, even though I'm a social butterfly :-)
