The "find my friends" app doesn't force you to enter any specific Apple ID.

Furthermore every Apple ID that is used with iCloud and where mail synchronisation is enabled, has an alternate .me address, and either this address or your Apple ID can be used to log into any of the Apple services.

My apple id doesnt' have a @me.com suffix, and "find my friends" automatically adds it in the apple id field. How do you stop this if you can?

The App "automatically" adds @me.com to whatever I type in the login screen
