I did this for awhile, and most people just don't put a message down, call is laziness, idk! ... but than I just started adding people, and I go through my list once a week and delete everyone who hasn't logged in for 3-5 days unless I know why they are gone.. helps keep my friends list in control.0

Depends on their profile pic. Ha!0

Great policy!0 -

LOL! This too. I'm always wary that someone without a pic is a creeper or something.0 -
They could just be shy, or speachless in the presence of your beauty.0

yes decline. It's pretty well known on here it's the polite thing to do.0

I don't care. I think it's rude that people expect someone to tell them why they want to be friends. Especially when people have private profiles. I think it is rude to add as many people as you want, and then never talk to them. So if I get a friend request I assume they have a reason for wanting to be friends. If they aren't on regularly and they don't talk with me I delete them. I do understand it however for the ones who have accomplished their goals and now they are using the site to motivate. They want people there who need their help and they can't offer it if they have a bunch of friends filling up their page.0

The bottom line is that there is no way to know, especially with people relatively new to MFP.
I've gotten so I'm quick to accept any request, but quicker to delete as appropriate.0 -

As long as they don't have duckface pictures, I'll be friends with anyone.0

I always add everyone.
But I keep a shank hidden in my top drawer.0 -

Exact same thing I do!!!0 -
I decline everyone. I'm shy.0

I pretty much accept all requests, but I have started to delete people who have been gone for more than a month, or if they say something that is totally off base with my goals or fitness beliefs. I havent had it happen but I would have no problem deleting someone who was nasty or negative all the time.0

When I get one without a message, I'll send a message asking why they want to be friends. Like, "Thanks for the FR. Do we have mutual friends, in the same group together, or in a thread"? I've always gotten an answer, and then accepted.0

I like your thinking and how you keep your people down.. I try to log on every day (besides tracking food and exercise) and try to comment on my friends comments or progress that is on my wall.. keeps me motivated and them..
As for friend requests I never add a comment.. only cause we all are here for support and ideas... guess never thought to add a comment or message.. : ) BTW I never add people with out pics.. lol0 -

Along the same note, I'm always led to think they are "friend-collecting" if they don't include a sincere message.0 -
