When people unfriend you, for being human!!

my goodness were not celebrity's.

I can't speak for anyone else.... But you know I'm a pretty big deal in Germany.

lmao i really laffed at thanks. be my friend

I have logged for the last 500 days everyday. I want friends that are not trying but doing this. When I see someone not logging for 3 days, I delete them. If it makes me a snob ...then so be it. I have amazing friends.

I never said it makes you a snob. I just realize that my life isn't just about this site and deleting people for not meeting my standards.

Then why start this post ???

Just think of it this way- if they are gonna delete you chances are they are not the type of person you wanted on your friends list anyway!

I don't have this problem. I have no friends on MFP. Problem solved.

Some people think the world revolves around them, little do they know. A friend should be there for you too and not just because they need someone to help them. I suggest you get some better friends!

1. Why do you care?
2. Just like some people aren't your cup of tea, you may not be theirs. It's life.

I have deleted people because I don't like the things they talk about. I'm about a particular life, and they are about another. They talk too much. I don't like their friends comments on their posts. lol... There are many reasons and all of them include BEING HUMAN. I have been deleted for being ME. If you want someone to give you an explanation every time they delete you, of if you feel like you need to give one when you delete people, then you should hang up your online social activities. This site is full of insecurity and a deep desire to do and say anything to fit in. It's also filled with awesome people who couldn't care less about who wants to or doesn't want to be their "friend" here and handle their business regardless. Recognize, some people remove themselves from you to YOUR benefit. What you may look at as "sticking it out" others may see as "pacifying".

Bottom line: It's never serious enough to write a post about. As far as friends and support goes, I'd rather have 1 GOOD friend, than 100 worshipers or fillers, which lot of people here tend to be. Give me ONE good buddy who's gonna say "Girl, get back in the game" over 100 "YES MAAM" and behind kissers all day. And that's with life... period.

I hate when I find out that my friends are really human. I mean, come on people, I only want friends that are ALIENS! Is that too much to ask for?!

Calm down there, Haruhi. :laugh:

In response to OP, I think the issue is more with the word used than anything else. "Friend" is clearly not the right word for the kind of relationship most people in this thread are talking about. I don't think "friend" should be the word used in any of these online dealings. It's loaded with too much emotion, and the way it's used here, it means exactly nothing. To stop being friends on the internet, you push a button. To stop being friends IRL, something more substantial has to take place. The word used shouldn't be "friend". (in best Jamaican accent) Ain't nuttin' go suh.
In my opinion, Mfp (and all social networking sites) should use a different term. Based on what I'm seeing in this thread, what most people want out of their online relationships doesn't equate to anything I would describe as "friendship"

going to be honest here dont pull my head off, but to me if you dont log in it looks like you cant be arsed! if someone's on holiday or going to be away then thats a different story altogether

I'm with you. I want to associate with people who are achieving and who are putting in the work.

I keep a small amount of friends on this site! I like it like that because it's easier for me to keep up a real connection with them. I delete people alllll the time and make room for people who are serious about changing for the better with eating healthy foods and into fitness life. Yes I take this site seriously because it was my stepping stone to the weight I have lost. I tried to weed out the pros from the wannabe's and it works perfectly for me! When I jump on site I am motivated to do just a little bit more because my pals inspire me with their drive and determination. They get up and start their mornings to a great breakfast, take care of their family duties, hit the gym/exercise regimens, and come with no excuses. I call my pals MFP All Stars and those are the people I keep on my list of friends! If you don't fit you got to go. Yes we are all human which means I can choose to delete or keep! Happy Easter everyone:happy:

I had some friends delete me because I didn't log in for a few months. At the time, I had no internet, and no car to go to the library. There are times that I did walk to the library, but couldn't do it often because it was in the middle of winter. It did help however that when I was able to get back on, that I still had some that didn't delete me.

I guess people forget that we do have a life outside of MFP. Just because we're not logging in everyday doesn't mean we're out eating fast food every night, or sitting in front of the tv eating an entire cake! We're all on here for one reason or another, and if we didn't need the support we wouldn't be here!

It is not about whether or not you have a life. It is about wanting people who use this program. Too many stop using the site and never come back. As I said in a previous post, it can be discouraging if you have friends that never log on. At least one of those times when you made it to the library you could have posted on your wall or your profile that you were having probs accessing the Internet and I'm sure more of your friends would wait for you. I always attempt to go to someone's profile and encourage them to check in before I delete them. I would have seen that message on your profile and waited until you could return.
