    I try to take everyone's advice but I am much more likely to try something that has been proven successful through their trial instead of something they hear and regurgitate to everyone else. Typically, people that are in better shape tend to have more of these trials in my opinion.

    honestly i don't much MFP advice seriously, even the ones who've lost a lot of weight, power to them but i've been doing pretty good on my own. What works for one doesnt necessarily apply to me (ex: eating exercise calories)

    I think it really depends on what I'm asking, most of the time no, but for certain things I'd be looking for answers by certain types people (when it pertains to my gaining/lifting esp I'd probably put more weight in the words of gainers, bulkers and lifters.) But I still also take all advice with a grain of salt.

    I have never accepted or rejected based on the photo.

    I do however reject anyone that doesn't send a message because if they took 2 seconds to look at my profile the first things it says is "Send a message with your FR Please" no matter what their picture looks like, yes i've even done it to abs

    No, because knowledge has nothing to do with what you look like.
    I knew what healthy eating was before I started my weight loss, I just made the choice not to follow it.

    Nope. If it sounds fishy, I look it up then decide.

    I hardly ever get friend requests. LOL! But the answer would be no to both.

    I don't judge advice by the pictures...because I put corny ones up all the time. Or pics of my boobs. I would hate it if people stopped taking my advice because I have a silly sense of humor in my pics.

    That being said, I'm guilty of leaving a thread or disregarding advice of people who can't form coherent sentences or spell. I'm a spelling snob.

    There, I've admitted it. I feel SO much better now!

    If the picture is of someone who's obviously into being ripped and building a lot of muscle I am most likely not going to feel as if I want to follow their advice because they have different goals than me. Nothing against them but their advice is coming from their goals and experience and research and if they are on a different path than I am their advice may not be too relevant. I want to be generally in shape and thinner, but I don't want to be super strong and ripped.
