When do you delete friends?

I notice that I have a habit of deleting people if they don't sign in for 4 days (or more) unless they have stated a reason why. (Vacation, broken computer/phone, sick, etc.)

What is your limit? Do you keep them all or do you delete like me? Do you just like to have a lot of people on your friends list?

    I delete after they dont sign in for 3 days, (unless they are an established favorite of mine), and if I go thru my friends list and cant recall interacting with someone, I delete them
  • I delete them after two days of no activity unless they have specifically said why. I also delete those people who never post or never comment/encourage others.

    I usually click delete once someone goes without logging in for 2+ weeks.

    I'm a brat and demand attention, so if I am requested and there is no interaction, even after I attempt interaction - delete. I try to support ALL of my friends and give them the attention I like, so I do give back, so I don't think it is too much to ask. That, and if guys start sending pervy PM's, they get deleted, blocked and reported with a quickness and failure to log in, unless well established friend.

    I am really, really selective about adding friends so I tend to cut them a little more slack. Wow, some of you are tough! 2 days? I would assume they were sick. I have only deleted 3 people and one was because her comments were seriously annoying & she was not committed, another one was very offensive in photos & comments and the third I realized I had absolutely nothing in common with--we were polar opposites.

    I usually delete for lack of attention...my wall gets lonely.

    I generally ask my MFP friends a series of calculus questions on Fridays. If they miss any, CUT.

    Also, I will go through my list and hit my friends up for money. If they don't cough up some cash, CUT. It's hard remembering a different sob story each month, but I write good.

    Finally, socks with sandals. Sorry. CUT.

    I delete if there is no activity in several days or they don't interact with me. I like to give support, but also like to get support as well. That is another cursor to deletion, if you don't support me after several weeks, bye. And last, if you have successfully pissed me off beyond forgiveness, I will delete. However, that is rare because I am pretty laid back and it takes quite a lot to get me that mad.

    The only people, so far, that I've deleted are the ones who haven't logged in for a year or more.
  • If you do not pay me attention, you will be deleted...unless you are just too good looking to delete. And of course, if you do not log in and interact on a regular basis, you will be deleted.

    I put a little sometbing extra in your paypal account this week. I was hoping you would visit my wall and say something like, "hey have a great day today!".

    Thanks. I gotta go back to doing calc exercises now...

    10 days of inactivitivy, but at least a minumum of one a day. Gotta keep a fresh crop of friends coming in to praise my AWESOMENESS.

    Also, my max friends list is set at 99. I don't have triple digit friends in real life, so no need to on here also.

    I don't delete people. I don't accept friend requests, either, so it all balances perfectly.

    Love this ^^^^^^ !!!!!

    I usually give them a few weeks, you never know . They could be like me, single dad, and just not really have the time that they want to to get on here and goof off. I've got some great friends on here. I havent been on as much lately due to being Dad and bringing home the bacon. If my MFP peeps didnt like me, or went on a deleting spree after a couple of days of no interaction, my friends list would be cut in half now from me being the one getting deleted. haha Oh and all of my peeps are smokin hot, and I could never delete a hottie, EVER!!!
