    Not at all. I do check their profile to see if we have anything in common but I could care less what they look like.

    I read their profile to see what we have in common...I actually look at their pics after I have already decided to make them a friend.

    i don't but i may friend request based on a profile pic
  • Posts: 743 Member
    Not so much the pictures as what they have written in their profile.
  • Honestly... I don't have a preference on the pic. I'm just here for some support from whoever, in my goal to lose weight and to gain a healthier life style. I don't care what you look like as long as I have your support. :-)

    ummmm.... it depends. I really like people that show a profile pic but if they dont I'll think about it. I like to have friends that shows me they are up here to lose weight or if you dont have a profile & you've said some "on point" weight loss inform. Then you'll be my friend. If I have 2 friends or 200 friends on MFP, I look at it this way " how can we help each other reach our goals & continue this healthy lifestyle & be able to help others"

    I don't! I figure I'm here to motivate and support, and I don't care what the person looks like! I do see how much weight they are trying to lose, and what their goals are.

    Couldn't care less. Unless its a woman - then I decline. I only do MFP friends with men because a) we have more in common, and b) my wife doesn't like me corresponding with random broads on the interwebs. :wink:

    I look sure, its part of who they are.. Do I base adding them on their pic? Nope
    I do real their profile too.
    I figure we are all here for the same thing..
    I add people hoping I can be as inspiring to them as they will be to me..
    As well as kick my butt and me theirs.. Its what MFP is about right?
    If they have an inspiring story I will comment on it or its a plus if they have something funny on their profile..

    Nope.

    But then I've always chosen my friends by personality and not what they look like. It's served me well all these years.

    I usually accept anyone. Delete them later if I don't have anything incommon with them or don't like them.

    Rarely delete someone that rides, is in the military or a military wife. Or someone that is the same age as my daughters.

    Big busted red heads get a free pass too.

    I usually am more interested in their profile than their pics. But I do get slightly annoyed when someone doesn't have a pic. Mostly because the standard blue guy annoys me. I'm just like put anything up there! Even cat poop. Atleast that would be funny.

    I don't because I wouldn't want others judging me by my looks before they get to know me so I won't judge them
  • Posts: 651 Member
    I'll read the profile first, pics next, and see if i find something funny about the person. Then if so....add! \m/

    What are these "friends" you speak of... :tongue:
  • Posts: 2,335 Member
    I more scope out their friends list. If they're only friends with girls who show skin, no-go for the perv.

    I didn't plan on adding anyone. I only add people I know and only have 5 friends (family & coworkers). Really don't want this to turn into FB, so I keep it simple.

    Absolutely! Certainly play a role and yet even after connecting if they're lacking in interaction, I don't care how "good" they look, they get kicked to the curb swiftly

    PFFFT who needs friends anyway? *raises eyebrow again*
  • Women are so shallow.....






    lol

    NICE!
  • i don't. i base it on what they have to say and theor positive attitude.
  • Posts: 122 Member
    I do....just to put a face to a name though. And if others do look at pictures first, that may be why I don't have many friends...lol
  • I do, but I would still accept the request, If my motivation can help someone I will be happy :smile:

    Doesn't really matter to me.

    I agree with you on that one!
