Guys....when you send a FR to a girl....

Wow...it has been so long since a guy told me I looked hot, it would take it as a compliment.

.....do not write it's because ''you look hot''

it is the fastest way to be declined.

But thank you for the compliment

I didn't read the nearly all of the previous pages, but geeze some women as so tough.

I'd be flattered if I got a friend request like that & would add them, assuming it wasn't overly creepy or anything

Michael...

I have a confession to make. When I FR you.. I told you it was because I was looking for people with "similar goals." I really just liked your picture and I got a *tingly* feeling when I looked at it... Whew.. I feel better. You guys are right… honesty is much better.

:laugh:

But seriously, what else do we really have to go on??? You have a sexy profile pic up, naturally we're going to be drawn to that, and chances are, that's all we have to go on since we are not yet friends. You ladies are too hard on guys for being guys. A friend request is sent, to get to know you and your fitness beliefs........now, if after accepting, a guy makes inappropriate comments, then cut him free. But dont assume a guy is a *kitten* because he compliments you on how you look when sending a fr.

^^That. exactly.

I'm with these two. I would take it as a huge compliment and it would probably not only boost my confidence but I would add him. If he wasn't supportive and turned into a douchenozzle after that, then I'd delete him.

It really isn't that hard. (tee hee). You noticed my picture because I said something on my friends' wall or in the forums. I hope that what I said was clever or smart or funny or dead on or kind or whatever that made that part of me stand out. I've had FR say, you eat like a normal person, work hard and you look good, and you're willing to tell people what they need to hear. That's a real compliment. I got an instant friend request after answering a "what's the sexiest muscle on a man" or some stupid crap like that. I think he indicated that he had a well developed tricep and deltoid region, which is what I named. That was icky. do you see the difference? If all you comment on is that I look good, then the only reason you want to be friends with me is a creepy reason. If you see a totality of stuff that includes progress or good lucks AND my sparkling personality, that's cool.

And I have my belly showing in my profile picture essentially to motivate myself and share my success with my friends. It shows up in the fori too.

I'll grant you I don't get a ton of "you're hot" FR's. My belly ain't as hot as my friend the OP's.

Thanks for the tips .. :drinker:

Kinda half to agree. Especially since most of the profile pics are half naked with an emphasis on boob!

Eh I am not half naked with emphasis on my boobs!!!!

It remind me.....I can give you the link where you can give to the ''save Yani's tatas'' fond.

Sorry.. to clarify... I meant it as more of a general statement. I don't care of woman wanna show the girls off. Props to them. And I realize you don't have a sexy come hither picture.

I'm all for save.the tatas links. Send it over!!

Lol. At least pretend you are interested in our brains.

Your brain looks hot ???

I'd like to chip my tooth on your stomach?

How's that?

You SCARE me ! Ha ! :huh:

I guess Im confused as to why all the women are begging guys to feed them a BS line other then just be straight with you.??? I mean seriously all I hear all the time is..."He lied to me and just told me what I wanted to hear. "He played games with me" etc....

So now a guy tells you the straight honest truth and you are throwing a fit?


Let me ask a question....

Assume we aren't on the internet and you are in a Coffee shop. A guy approaches you and starts a conversation. Are you all delusional enough to think that he approached you because you were health conscious and got skim milk instead of whole?

Is it possible that he heard you order and your delicious English accent was hot? Ok Yes that is possible... or That he liked your shoes...Not likely

The truth is ladies He approached you because he thought you were hot! And then do you know what? He walked up to you and GAVE YOU A LINE!!!! But what he was really saying is, "Hey you are hot i want to get to know you!"

LMAO!!

Annndddd yeah, I enjoy the FR's saying I look hot. /JustBeingHonest :happy:

Get to know you? Are you sure that's what he's really saying?

I can't even share what my last one said. It's completely inappropriate ...

...but don't include the words hard, hand, or imagining in the same sentence.

I always have a hard time wording these friend requests, but I have to hand it to you; you're an inspiration to everyone and I'm imagining that we can help each other achieve our weight loss & health goals if we were MFP friends.

;-D Bazinga!

I thought you were being serious, until you got to the bazinga.

I don't know...I seem to get a lot of odd FR's from women on MFP, especially since this thread started. Just got another invite with a message stating "I want some milk....I hear it does a body good."

Really, I'm here for the fitness and support .... is that so wrong?
