    but if i dont beg they wont know how serious i am :sad: and then i will die alone with lots of cats and no friends on MFP.

    Wait, who doesn't want lots of cats?

    i think the real question here is, how many cats are to many cats?

    I guess the real question is... Why does it bother YOU so much? You posting about what other people do makes you just as guilty, does it not?

    That's mostly what the introductions forum is for. Some people, because they aren't *kitten*, venture in there and look at these threads to see if they'd be a good fit for the newbies on this site. Other people who want to be *kitten* can do the simple thing and avoid that forum.

    It's quite simple, really, and frankly there are SO many other recurring themes on the message boards to get annoyed by than some people trying to build up a base for their friends list. Having lost 201 lbs, mikemontana19, I would think that you would understand how intimidating it can be to start the process, and how important it is to build a support system. Introducing yourself and asking for like-minded people to reply so that you can add them to your friends list is probably an easier way to do that than scouring for individuals by using the "Find Members" option.

    Ah Ha. Never been called a *kitten* before but I do understand how you would consider this post douchebaggish. I was just griping like I see many other people do on here. Its ok though, I have been caelled worse. Doesnt bother me. I am however laughing at how much traffic this is getting. Wasnt my intention. Then again I never have clear intentions. I just do what feels good.

    Google will show us the way

    I always knew my future was going to be the crazy lady with no MFP friends and a zillion cats. However I haven't gotten around to adopting any cats and now Mr 1914 is my MFP friend. I have circumvented my future! Yay!

    Um.... you do know this is the "introduce yourself" section right? AKA where people should go to find others similar to them, to ADD FRIENDS?

    Don't like it, go to other areas of the forums. It's realllll simple.

    I just say live and let live. When you see a topic that is begging for friends---just don't click on it...pretty simple solution! Sorry to be brut but I'm into SOLUTIONS not complaining about problems.

    Very Well said Ill take that advice. Thanks.

    On this particular message board "Introduce Yourself" you will find more people asking if anyone wants to be their friend. This message board is for new members to introduce themselves and meet members. (At least that's what I got from the topic). Check out the other message boards for encouragement, new ideas, advice, or whatever else besides friends you are looking for.

    I have extra tampons if you need them.

    Thanks. I use them whenever I have a runny nose.

    Were you this mean when you were 200 pounds heavier? No man is an island and everyone needs help at some point. It takes courage to ask. I would hope you would share the story of your success instead of making people feel bad. I am sure people would like to know how you did it. I wouldn't dare ask... I will ask someone else... Have a nice evening :glasses:

    You know I come on these message boards to see constructive things that can be beneficial to all. Why do I see the same topic over and over every single day?

    Seems to me that you havent yet seen the other forum topis. Like Weight loss and recipes.
    Maybe if you tried heading over to those forums, you'll find what you want. No one is making you click on the Inrtoduction ones. They are people who are new, they are looking for constructive things. Youre not going to find construction in the INTRODUCTION PAGE, genius.



    :/

    Well Said. :-) Not trying to start an argument as it appears you are. If thats what you want you win. Im not good at arguing. Just stating facts. Ill try not to go kill myself because you hurt my feelings.

    Mike,

    If you started in a new city, and walked in to a cafe and said "I'm looking for some friends!" and a bunch of awesome happy people all stood up and said "Hell yeah!" it would be pretty cool huh?

    Here is the only place someone can broadcast that they just want some friends, and people who give a damn, will actually be their friend, based on the reason for most people being here in the first place.

    Ok. Good point.

    200lb loss?? Amazing! Mr. Cranky pants has earned his rant! Some people are needier than others. Just skip the needy posts and move on to the inspirational ones. And by the way- please use your 15 minutes of post fame to share your story! I would LOVE to hear how you did it and why! I have a long journey ahead of me and could use inspiration. Congrats on your achievements!

    I didn't feel like reading through everyone's comments, but I feel as though this topic is incredibly idiotic, stupid, foolish, inane, and UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!

    1 there is a section called "Introduce Yourself"
    2 its called myfitnessPAL, the whole cornerstone of this website is to add people and make friends so you yourself are more responsible
    3 I believe having only 5 or 6 friends isn't as effective as having say, 20+, and creating a post asking for friends/motivation/help is an excellent way to gain friends.
    3 How DARE you criticize people for wanting to make friends to help them on their journey?

    Edit: I read through a couple of your replies, and I see you're not trying to be a douche, but just try to look at both sides of the equation.

    *Stands up in front of judge* I plead guilty.

    My cats ARE my friends.

    according to google, there is a difference between a cat lover and a cat hoarder. I am not sure the difference because then the pictures of kittys distracted me from reading.
