    Wow, I guess I have different thoughts on "friends". I would seriously never turn away someone for any reason, we are all in this together and my thoughts are the more the merrier and if they lose their way while they are one of my friends I would be there to help them get back on track, isn't that what this is all about?


    and there it is. the puppydogs and rainbows i spoke of initially. (it never fails...)
    Ugh. yeah, I'm the same way. We are not all in this together and it is not the more the merrier. If I have nothing in common with someone there is no point in friending them. If they will be easily offended, we should not be friends. If they are going to talk about God all the time, I don't want to friend them. If they just want to be my friend so they can stalk me and send me sexy PMs I don't see the point. If they are too lazy to take the time to read my profile and tell me why they want to add me as a friend, I don't want to spend my time on them. Not everyone is here for the same reasons. You can't just say "we are in this together." We are all at different levels with different needs and there are many clashing personalities. This isn't kindergarten where we all have to be friends and hold each others hands and sing songs.

    i do not turn away people who add me, only if there's no message with the request. i do not add anyone either unless another friend suggested one of their friends for support to that person. i like to keep a small number of friends because is easier to support them, tho latelly i have been on a big setback in my life and i havent supported anyone like i used to.

    Ive made quite a few friends, I dont ever reject someones request, the only time I delete is if the person ahsnt been on for well over a month, but I dont have many friends on here and the ones I do have I interact with quite often and one friend I talk to like she was sat next to me lol

    I do understand people been picky though, especially if they dont use MFP to socialise or dont like been requested to boost someones number of friends

    I add everyone who friend requests me. I'll only delete those who haven't logged on for awhile or who are negative / starving themselves.

    I think I can count on one hand the people I've sent FR's to. I have to really really think you're cool or have shared some moment in the forums with you to do that. There's no real criteria to meet.

    I accept most FR's, unless their profile shows signs of neediness or being too new.
    - I don't pat people's backs for staying in their calorie range.
    - I rarely ever pat backs for exercise.
    Needy people and new people expect a lot from their friends usually. I feel I would let them down. Actually, I'm sure I would.

    Oh and I delete people with whom I never interact. They don't post on their feed, they don't comment on anything, etc. I also delete friends who are absolutely oblivious to the fact that I'm a person and fitness isn't my whole life.

    I just joined 2 weeks ago tomorrow and already feel like I need to go through and make some major cuts. For me, I'd rather have quality than quantity. There are so many on my 'pals' or 'friends' list that I've heard barely a peep from...only a handful I actually enjoy interacting with. If that makes me a a bad person than I'm a bad person :tongue:

    I have a chronic illness and I'm sure there are some on my friends' list that get tired of hearing about it - I hope they read this and feel free to cut me if they'd like. I get tired of living this way and enjoy coming here for an escape. Just my two cents, whatever they're worth.

    I decline almost all friend requests because I'm a shy weirdo. I don't even respond to the "I'm New" threads, for fear that they will send me a friend request. I'd like to welcome people, but declining FRs makes me sad.

    I'm good with adding pretty much anybody. I seek out only a few people, mostly though with either very similar interests, or similar goals and body types. I'm new though so ask me in a year when I'm burnt and jaded like everything else I've done on the interwebs.

    Well, it isn't because I don't like the people, usually. I just like to keep my list small or I get overwhelmed. It's actually larger than I ever intended, but I hate cutting people even more than I hate declining them.

    It's true...I bet she wants to cut me, but she's too nice.

    Plus there's the whole stigma once you get known as a cutter.

    I generally accept pretty much any FRs - don't get pissy if I don't give you enough attention, you wanted into this freakin' circus. I figure that they will delete me quick enough if I am offensive - oh and am I offensive, Lordy! As far as sending FRs, I rarely send 'em. I reserve that for people who really amuse or entertain me, people I know personally and - very rarely - someone who has inspired me.

    I'm pretty happy with my friend list and enjoy the interactions.

    If I could quote The Big Bang Theory:
    Leonard: The more the merrier.
    Sheldon: That's a false equivalency, more does not equal merry. If there were two thousand people in this apartment, would we be celebrating? No, we'd be suffocating.

    I understand people doing a thread asking for friends. If you're new, you see the other friends request threads, you post one yourself. There's a whole forum for introductions, so well, I sort of figured that's what people did. I did, and I got some friend requests because of that, and the friends I got from it are great ones. Then I interact on the forums more and realize that's not the way I'd necessarily do it at this point, but eh, when I see the people doing the same thing, I know what they're thinking. I don't add people much, but I don't reject much and it all seems to work out. I do prefer to get a message with it, though.
