    I don't usually send FR, and I'm usually surprised when I receive one. When I first started I accepted anyone because I figured they had a reason for sending the request. I finally added a couple things to my profile though. You don't have to send a message, although it is appreciated, but I won't accept anyone under 18, eating less than 1200 calories without a medical reason like gastric bypass or a doctor supervised plan, or if you are suffering from an ED and aren't attempting to recover. I will occasionally go through and delete people who are inactive.

    Eating Disorder, it hurts too much to watch people hurting themselves over and over again and not be able to help.

    If there is no profile pic or if it just comes randomly I probably won't accept. A little message always helps :)

    Blank FR and a blocked or not filled out profile is an almost certain decline.

    Blank request ... forum trolls .. the obvious pervs , people displaying their assets in their profile pic , those with extreme narcisitic personalities who are desperate for attention

    I tend to use the forums for info , bit of chit chat and I use Facebook for those friends I don't meet in person anymore

    people needing somebody to lean on for support are fine by me and messages with friend requests make it seem that they haven't just scanned your profile and tried to add everybody

    I've accepted everyone so far but I'm a really rubbish friend - here, Facebook, real life. Too lazy to make an effort

    I generally accept all FRs, but I do prefer people who are motivated to get/stay fit. I'm here to achieve a goal, and I want to help others achieve theirs.

    It really depends.

    Messages with the FR is a must. I don't want any friends that only want to interact by way of KIK. I'm here to be motivational and would like that in return, not a "Hey girl, you so pretty, send me some pics" WTF!

    I only accept the FR from the ones that say "I say your post. I've started this group on Facebook. Join the group for some fun, support and so I can sell you stuff."

    I have never declined anyone. I am here to get inspired by as many people as I can and to hopefully inspire others to reach their goals. I love meeting and interacting with new people from so many different places and reading everyones stories. I don't see the point in declining anyone... it's not a competition or popularity thing to me.
    I would think the only way I would delete someone is if they are a bad influence on my health by constant down talking to me or others or not giving positive feedback. There is enough negative in this world without having extra added to it. We all have different ambitions and goals, so why not lend a healthy and encouraging hand to others and hopefully get the same in return!
