I'd like to meet:

people that want to train with me. RoxyFit.Com
people with insight, independence and innovation.

Just cause you love fighting doesn't mean i'll add you. Hitler loved fighting and i wouldn't add him... Tell me something more about yourself than your love for beating people up... I may add people that have similar taste in music, art, culture etc... however, i don't add everyone i get a request from.... read below for reasons why:
REASONS I MAY NOT ACCEPT YOUR FRIEND REQUEST:
* you tell me i have cool "tats" (i hate that word, it makes me nauseous and makes you seem ignorant, sorry.)
* your profile is set to private and i have no idea who you are
* your pictures include lots of pouty looking web cam shots
* your pictures include lots of supposedly buff torso shots
* you have a fetish for women that can kick your ass, or seem like you'd get very excited about naked Jello wrestling.
* you list drinking, "partying" or crack smoking under your interests
* you ask me if i want to "party" with you
* you tell me i'm hot and that's about all your vocabulary can muster up
* you look creepy, old or distasteful in anyway resembling a trolling internet slug
* your entire top friends list is comprised of scantily clad plastic girls
* we have nothing in common and you seem to be adding me to promote your own lame agenda
* you like any of the following bands: dave matthews, mariah carey, hillary duff, or the grateful dead, (yes the dead, i'm serious, maybe they were cool once but get over it)
* you take yourself way too seriously
SOME NEW ONES....
* you don't have a picture up
* the pictures you have up are obviously not you (what are you hiding?)
*we have nothing in common and you just seem dull
*you seem like more of a fight groupie than a fan
*you just plain scare me (an interest in dungeons and dragons at age 35, pictures of bloody murders, advertised pornography (do you think this will attract women, really?), expressing an interest in burning, blowing up or drowning things, asking me if i want to model in a "foot stomping" fetish photo, etc.... i'm sure you can find someone on the www that shares your unique interests, but i'm not one of them, thanks :)
