    How come you people get all the junk pics? And I don't get any? :noway:

    I usually decline, too. I used to accept but then I found most of those to be uncommunicative in the end. But sometimes, when I am in a good mood, I send them a MSG asking them to verify that they are not zombies.

    But those MSG-less frs annoy me deeply. Damnit, I am worth it!

    Boobies in your inbox! :wink:

    Can I get some boobies in MY inbox?? :love:
    I'd rather have junk in my inbox. :wink:

    I don't have a problem declining friend requests. Plenty of people don't bother reading profiles, so it's just something to deal with.

    A lot of people use the mobile app where profile information isn't displayed.

    Or they couldn't read it because their lips were tired?

    Not sure if this is posted in the right place or not... I get a couple friend requests a day. In my profile i request a note why you want to be friends etc or i will Not accept. You dont know me or anything about what got me here etc and you want to be my friend? I keep my profile accesable for that very reason. I dont know why its so hard to read a profile first. Am i being unreasonable in this request?

    Ok end of rant lol

    Probably has something to do with the fact that you're topless, grasping your breasts with your hands with a big grin on your face, in your profile picture.

    the less clothes you wear for your profile pic the more requests your goin to get. and if they don't add a message its because they figure your showing off the goods so you prolly make friends easily

    1st world problems

    That's not a first world problem. First world problem is getting mad because you received a fr without GIF.

    I usually decline blank requests. I don't think anyone reads my profile, I'm always impressed by those who mention something I wrote on there. Lol!!!

    WOW - I hate to sound so - well - confrontational, but why would it bother you to get a friend request? When I see a post by someone on a message board that was supportive and encouraging, I usually send a friend request. It's off putting to me to get a reply of "If you don't mind my asking, why did you request me as a friend?" I usually just move on because frankly, I don't want to connect with someone who thinks like that.
    I enjoy the interaction and support I find here on MFP. It's motivating to log on and see in my news feed how someone just lost a pound or hit a new goal. You can only do that if you are connected to others on your same journey.

    It's not the fr that bothers me. I welcome fr anytime. And I would like to think that I am supportive of each and everyone of my friends. The thing is, I don't need you to write an essay on why you want to be my friend. All I want is to know that you didn't just randomly click on my profile and add me. Without a MSG, for all I know, you could have sent a fr to me by mistake. It's the effort and the action of sending me a MSG that make me think you care at all to be my friend. I am not even that picky, even a "Hi, I saw your post just now and would like to be your friend" is enough. Like, I said, it's the initiative that counts.

    This! Also most of the blank ones NEVER EVER talk to you again. I don't need dead numbers on my friends list I love the interaction I have with my friends

    ETA: As I typed this I get yet another BLANK request! LOL

    I think some people really don't know how to read. If they do have any slight inclination toward reading, it's lost in their ignorant obscurity...with that said, I have noticed that people on dating sites are terrible at reading. It's kind of an epidemic. It's all about convenience...the faster, the better. Lol

    I accept them without question but I do state in my profie that I am vulgar and innapropriate. If I accept someone and they act like a jerk I delete them.

    I don't see the problem. Not everyone reads a profile. You can accept or decline the request. What you can't do is control what other people do.

    Some people are friend collectors....like on Facebook. I get requests even though I say I am no longer taking requests because I cant keep up with the friends I have. But if you get friended by someone who has, say, 400 friends, they're probably a collector.

    I'm not a friend collector. I just say yes, and then see who keeps up with me.
