Why is MFP better than Facebook?

Facebook and MFP are about the same in my opinion. Both are filled with threads that look like they came out of a high school locker room... both have married people trolling for some grease on the side... both have inordinate amounts of naked torso dudes floating around... both have "drama" (just read the forums for 10 minutes, if you can seriously with a straight face say there is no drama on this site, you either cannot read, or do not understand what drama means)... and both highlight some of the darker areas of the human race in what we value.
However they both provide ways to stay in touch with people... like minded or not.
Carry on with the lulz.
I could not agree more! Perfectly said!0 -
I think MFP is what Facebook used to be before it sold out to corporate advertisers and sponsors... We can actually communicate on here.0
-
I can acces this at work....they haven't caught on yet...LOL0

The people I have on facebook are a mix of actual people I know.. and other people I have around just to promote my website and photos too.
I visit MFP and post more here than I do on facebook.0 -
We all have positive goals and thoughts.
I switched to myfitnesspal along time ago. I was so fed up with trash talk, potty mouths and total dysfunctional people....What a shame .ruining FB for some. I really enjoyed connectiong with family and old friends....and that part I miss.
So, now I hang out with positive uplifing people...I love you all!!! Thank you for making me smile:bigsmile:

Simple. People on Facebook are real where as you all are figments of my imagination.0

I used to post my positive days and how excited I was to workout.....All I ever read any more is about fighting and big mouths.0

, yes, ANd not feeling like someone is watching your every move.0

Much more postive friends on MFP everyone is here for the same reason! :happy:0

Exercise and healthy eating has become such a big part of my life now. I don't think my facebook family/friends would appreciate my multiple posts of weight loss and exercises. So I definitely spend more time here than anywhere else. I maybe check my facebook page once a week at most only if I remember.0

I second that!!!0 -
Because on FB-Most are haters(well some here too) HAHAH...but majority are there, they want to know secrets to weightloss, it isn't liked unless you tell your business, You talk about the gym or fitness and put your workout there...get 3 replies out of 900 friends.....and most of the status are rants about all their business.....So much negative...I could go on and on...0

simple no stupid drama on here0
-
Because I'm not obligated to add all of my internet-illiterate relatives who take offense to every thing ever posted online.0
-
Because none of my Facebook friends are on here. Duh.0
-
because nobody sends me requests to play some stupid farm game!!!!
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
MFP /would/ be much better without the "chit-chat, fun, and games" group :noway:0
-
because MFP isn't blocked from my work server!
That, and the people here have common goals and are very supportive, encouraging and motivational. I don't see any "FML" posts going through my newsfeed here.0 -
Facebook you put on a good front for friends, family and acquaintances....
MFP you are brutally (disgustingly?) honest with complete strangers.0
