Friend Reqests.......what makes you accept them?

April 29 2012

Just curious as to what makes others accept a friend request:   Do you accept anyone who sends friend request? Or do they need to fit in your "looking for" criteria?   Do you prefer to chat to them a little first?   I like to chat to someone before accepting a friend request. Or is that a little too old fashioned?

    Are people Ive met, formed friendships with, maybe played with or if interstate formed a "email,messaging" friendship with...my list is quite short...and Ive have a few that I reguarly chat/play with, who arent on my list...I rarely initiate a friend contact. but it is nice to receive one..   I dont understand the random requst, especially from people Ive never even had any contact with whatsoever...   What is the point ? Is there a popularity contest out there that Im not aware of ?

    People on my friends list are people I actually know , have met and enjoyed real time with . I only add people I've met in real life and connect with .

    I don't quite understand why anyone sends friend requests without as much as a message or any interaction at all and tend not to accept unless we've at least chatted a little first.   Maybe some just like to look like they're popular by having a lot of friends on their profile or maybe to stalk you. Who knows.

    We have a mix of people we have met, chatted in live chat or have messaged with. Plus what I call my "art gallery" . Those yummy profile pics that saves me doing endless searches to have a perve at. It gives a general idea of what takes our fancy...Oh and there was a bit of a running joke I had with someone ( who shall go by his nikname of "Friends whore" so as he definatly knows it's him Im talking about lol..) who accepts anyone that sends him a friends request, so we had a bit of a race at one stage to out do each other..in my defence I still collected yummy profile pics..him on the otherhand.. It bemuses me that people can seriously get their noses out of joint for someone eles's friends lists.

    They are people that I have met or have spent a fair amount of time on line chatting to them.

    Only if they are some one we have met in person. We put that down on our profile and we still get FR from people. Usually a good sign they haven't read our profile.There isn't a real point to it. If they are your friends then you don't need a reminder. Though some people use it as a way to see what people are posting on the forum.Tim

    When I keep getting friend requests from someone Ive never so much as spoken to Do I look lonely ? What's even better is how they completely ignore that little section I have in my profile specifically for the friend request thingy, it's really close to the part where I say what I am actually looking for which 90% of them do NOT meet.So yep, keep sending them dickheads, I love saving them up so I can spend a whole day deleting the requests one by one

    Some just online buddies or forum posters, some are prspective playmates and some I just like their profiles. I have only put in a few requests and they are to compatible potential playmates to show seriousness.I think people do it randomly as a compliment and a different approach- indicating that they really dig on you and want to be friends + more. I don't see anything wrong with it before or after a message because most of them are probably guests and think there might be a higher chance of being noticed seeing as though flirts are often not looked at or are overwhelming.Cass xxx

    to the rare few that have sent me request's, no offence... sorry but.... if we met and got along no worries, I'm a friendly guy. I've lived in far nth qld and so it was difficult to meet people but I'm in sth east qld now so chances are better, altho I still move about at times. I thought I'd say that in case the lovely girl who abused me for not befriending her is reading....I did explain that you to you sweetie but I guess you're the kind that doesn't take no for an answer...it's not that I don't like you, it's that I don't know you. I'm not picky or stuck up, I just like to know who I'm actualy friends with. I'm off for a little while peeps have fun and play nice :)

    If our dog was a member, I would send him a friend request, I'm sure he would accept. I hope.

    My friends list is short and those are people I know and have enjoyed their company and developed friendships with. I also have friends that are not on my list with whom I've developed friendships with away from this site.   I ignore random friend requests because I dont see the point in collecting profiles of people I don't know. I don't need to know or want to know when they log in either. I feel its invasive of my privacy for my profile to appear to them whenever I log on.

    we added a few...but then realised it was one of those things that people either dont care about...or judge you over... so we stopped....theres a few hundred people waiting for a response for their requests for us to add them.... we wont be....as it doesnt really matter to us.......

    We only accept friends requests from people we have played with..except in one or two exceptional cases. but they are still people we know in the real world. This isn't Facebook

    When we first joined and didn't know any better everyone seemed to want to be our friend and after we got to 30+ we realised that we had never met any of them and and hardly had any communication with them.We then undertook a culling exercise and got rid of all the ones we had never met (sorry).We now only have people we have met or at the very least have regular communication with. (or if they just look hot).

    Only people I have had some kind of interaction with, be it online or in person, gets on my list. I don't accept requests from "friend collectors" as I can't see the point.
