Posted: 3/18/2007 7:51:36 PM | LoL #165 "I wouldn't tell my same gender friends I'm on a dating site"
I told my ex-roommate about it, and he said "Those are for old people, go to the bar!"
Funny stuff... I could see not sharing after that. | |

I guess it's not much less stupider than picking a fish personality for yourself. 
SO true! | |

Posted: 3/18/2007 8:51:24 PM | | Hmmm...interesting, I see the reasoning behind it. I can recognise both points: pro and con. Maybe a trial run and see how it goes? | |

Posted: 3/18/2007 8:57:55 PM | | I don't like the idea either for many of the reasons that have been stated. I have been stalked online and that is the main reason I do not put up my picture. I know some who don't put up a picture because of the career they r in. I have been fortunate enough to talk to alot of nice people here and would not want to choose a few favourites. It is nice to have a friend list for your own use but I think it should remain private between the people who list each other. | |

Posted: 3/18/2007 8:59:38 PM | When I first saw the feature, I really didn't know what it would do. So I added a couple of names and then saw the pics at the bottom of my Profile.
I immediately deleted (selected No Friends) the pics, as I think should ask these people first,
if they REALLY want to be ASSOCIATED with me in PUBLIC !
If someone adds a testimonial, that is of their own volition. This feature isn't. I didn't want my 'friends' to delete me from their favorites, because I used their picture without their permission.

as I think should ask these people first, that's a good point. I wonder if there's many people out there, who don't realise they're being publicly displayed, on someone else's profile as the person's 1st, 2nd, or 3rd best friend? | |

Posted: 3/18/2007 11:03:01 PM | | Frankly, this feature, and the testimonial feature, are down-right creepy. They make little sense in this endeavour, they mean nothing, it just creeps me out a bit. Reading blurbs from other guys about how great a lady is, and best of luck to you, is just wierd. If you are interested in someone, simply say hi; drop the testimonials, and this new feature.. | |

It's retarded.
I have far more than 3 friends and I am sure not going to pick out 3 to be the "best".
Ok, the same-sex restriction was removed so I thought I might try it...
Uh-uh... can't be done!
Let's say you could pick 3 best friends. Now a good friend joins POF.... ummm.... do you bump?
What if some of your friends are redheads? Or Scorpios? (or both).
nope, Nope, NOPE, NOPE, NOPE!
I don't fancy dancing at the next event on crutches!  | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 6:00:02 AM | | I don't like it, it can hurt some people feeling. I don't think it would be good thing to have its not going to help people it will hurt them. | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 6:00:52 AM | | I don't like the idea, i think some peoples feeling would be hurt. | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 6:18:56 AM | wow a lot of overthinking and emotion going into this one....
I guess I can see the point of the cons but I still don't get the pro's in having this feature, the favourites thing is okay because it might give someone the incentive to message you , kind of a green light of sorts but the whole "hey lookie here my fave pof friends" thing ,whats that going to do? | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 6:55:46 AM | | I will pay just as much attention to the friends list as I do to the testimonials NONE. | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 7:29:51 AM | I like it, but there are more then 3. Can you make it to 5 or 6? | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 8:05:08 AM | | I don't like it, for starters I have way more than 3 friends on here but they are all tucked away in the privacy of my favourites list and to my mind thats where I want them to stay, they don't know one another and I don't necessarily want them linked either. Given I have been put on some peoples favourites list when they have never messaged or chatted to me and I've not been interested in them could mean they don't really know me so its no guarantee that I'm any more genuine than if people actually chat or message me on here and get to know the real me that way. I think the fish personality was not the best idea, i think is way down there with it. | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 8:40:36 AM | | and what if you have a connection with more than 3? how do you narrow down the search? or do you leave your fav favorites entirely blank to avoid the confusion? i think you should be able to have as many or as few as you prefer. just my thoughts | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 12:05:52 PM | One thing that concerns me is; Is there going to be a ranking? How can I do that? I treasure my friends in different ways, but the caring is deep and I wouldn't want to hurt anyones feelings.
As much as we want to think we are these big adults, there is a kid in each of us that wants to be the favorite... Or at least the illusion of it. I have favorites... I treasure them all, that's why they are on my list. I can't list them in a 1st 2nd 3rd kind of way!
That's my story and I'm stick'n to it! | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 1:37:26 PM | | I don’t really care how many times people say "oh but UAC bothers you for no reason" because it’s simply not true. Anyone who says that hasn’t used Vista and they don’t really know what they’re talking about. | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 2:30:58 PM | | I only have 3 friends. So hard to choose that my brain is hurting figuring out who shall I pick(insert sarcasm). I'm sure people out there do get offended if they're not picked which makes me laugh at those silly people who do. Who cares is what I think. It's a silly feature. Get over it. | |

| friends section!!
Posted: 3/19/2007 3:55:34 PM | | While I think it is nice for most people with friends, I think it might limit the feelings we have for others. For instance, their are people I think I could definitely be friends with and maybe become romantically involved, but would they appreciate seeing the other men I have met, who I would just consider friends!! Most men - would be daunted that I am a woman who "collects" (LOL) male friends!! Food for thought!! Marian | |

Posted: 3/19/2007 4:01:29 PM | I've put two of my female friends on my friend's section. (They added me first and didn't ask, but with these two I don't mind. I would hope that anybody else would ask first.
Not a bad idea so far, I figure a guy who's viewed my profile may not like what he sees with me, but may get along better with one of my friends.
Any love interests are too special to be put on a friend's list. So, the folks on ml list are only buddies!
