    I too fear rejection :cry:

    I don't get the fear of rejection. Also, I don't get when someone FRs me and then I accept, and they are responding with "Whew. You accepted me. I wanted to send this a long time ago, but you intimidated me."

    I really don't get that. I am far from initimidating in my eyes. I like all kinds of people, and as long as I get some kind of message, or I know you from a friend's wall, or the forums, you're gonna get accepted. I even say as much on my profile.

    I get told that I am intimidating a lot as well. Which I don't get because I am very easy going.

    I prefer to stalk until they send me the request. It's more effort, but it makes them think it was their idea.
    ^^^^ I offered to be his mistress to be his friend, true story. It's worked out so far.
    That was nothing compared to what you've had to do to stay on my FL. I'm still waiting on the bruises to completely heal.

    did you tell stories about younger days? i would've been intimidated by that if i hadnt been there done that as well.

    Most claim it was my non-smiling profile pics. I apparently look like an axe murderer or something.

    But...the title of this post begins, "I am mean..."

    Shhh. It's my public persona that's mean. I fail there a lot too though.

    I too fear rejection :cry:

    would not reject/10

    what about me?

    nah brah, would not reject


    nohomo

    I never reject any friend requests, because it's funny seeing the reactions of people that view my food logs

    Why do some people feel the need to write nohomo?

    I don't get it.

    Me either. nohetero

    You're one of the cool kids. Maybe, that's why.

    Which I don't understand either. I have my funny moments, but sometimes I even annoy myself.

    What kind of principle does not sending out friend requests follow

    Edit:

    Nevermind, I get it. Very funny, OP. ;]

    I'm pretty mean because I never ever send out friend requests dawgs. It's not that I don't like people. I love everyone on my FL. I just don't do it as a matter of principle.

    I will accept most FRs I receive. If it comes from a topless cat, or a bottomless dawg, it doesn't matter to me. Just don't expect me to jump out there and make the first move. That doesn't motivate me.


    Now I have to FR you, I just saw the alter-ego to this post that seems to have come first and totally get it LOL! You Sir, ROCK - Please stay the mean self that you are.

    It is a bit mean. :heart: I hate sending FRs and will only do it if I think the person is truly awesome. Happily most of the time my instincts have been right about that. :flowerforyou:

    Oddly, the only people who have rejected my FRs so far have been other women. I find that surprising.

    I don't get friend requests because nobody likes me.

    Could have something to do with that scary profile pic...just sayin' :-D

    I have been here about two months and de-friended only one person because he had lost his weight and really just wanted to drive traffic to his site.

    Ugh, no thanks - I feel SOOOOO special.

    I neither send them or accept them. Does that make me double-mean?

    I accepted you in pretty short order if i remember correctly. One of the best decisions I ever made too.

    I don't usually send them either, just once. I sent that one friend request because I noticed her ticker look almost exactly like mine, and we got to talking about our kitties :) only friend request I ever sent.

    I sometimes wish I had more time to accept FR's or to send some FR's because there are many cool people who statuses I'd like to creep and annoy their friends.

    I've read your profile disclaimer I think like twice.
    I'm too scared to get rejected lol

    but you seem like a cool dude. and yes I'm a bit of a stalker. but I'm nice, I swear!

    Wow. I usually avoid the chit-chat forums but thread made for interesting reading.
    I'm easy when it comes to FRs... I don't often do the requesting myself. And I will delete if my feed gets flooded with ditzy comments.

    I think I've only sent one and only not accepted one. But I'm kind of a crappy friend, so....
