I generally will not add someone I've never seen on the boards without a message. There have been a few that sent no message that I did accept only because I saw them on mutual friends walls and such.
And sometimes I decline someone with or without a message...if you come off DBaggy, hypocritical, or judgemental...you will be eliminatedl. Easy peasy.0 -

lol well that's your problem for interpreting it that way! The voices are always yelling in my head!0 -
Every time I see people get bothered by caps lock, I think of this:
And then when I receive friend request's messages in CAPS LOCK ON CRUISE CONTROL, the only thing that comes to mind is, "they must be awesome like Namaste" *click * - accept-.0 -

hahahahahaha I LOVE THIS!!!! :drinker:0 -
At first I didn't require a message but now I do... But I dint get friend requests as much anymore so I don't have much on that. But I do delete people who absolutely don't even say "WTG" or something at least once (especially when they send me the request). And I think I really delete people when they haven't even said at least hi or comment on my workouts or something not ONE time since we've been friends and I always comment and say nice things... Then I go on ahead and delete...0

Jeez.. some of you all take this friend requesting stuff seriously. If they don't send you waht you want or have asked on your profile.. simply don't accept. :bigsmile:

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

Agreed0 -
I accept everyone. If they aren't social I will remove them after a while I suppose. But I use this site for support, and I want to help support others. So I give everyone a chance. I have nothing to hide on here so why not accept them.
I love irony. :drinker:
Thats cause she is smart. Unless you like your stuff all over the web.
Actually I hadn't realized it was set to private... lol
But either way my statement is still true. You become my "friend" by sending me a friends request and I still have nothing to hide..0 -
Thank you!! That is what the profile is for.0
-
Personally, I dont mind. My rule is I never send out friend requests. If you like my posts, add me, otherwise, not really gonna bother me. If your posts/updates annoy me, I will probably hide your posts. Only done that to one person, not saying who though0

I accept anyone who adds me, purely because they can provide me with support whether they send an initial message or not. However, I do remove people from my friend's list who haven't logged in after a month, unless I know why they are away.0
-
Idc anybody can add me but if you're a jerk or you havent been on over a month I'll delete. I think its rude of how people say "you should explain why we should be friends" uh what makes you so high mighty? Seeing your profile I'm better off finding someone as a friend else who isnt a jerk. And "Oh you havent came on 3-5 days I'll delete you" what type crap is that? You dont know what's going on in that person's life you're suppose to be a friend and encourage and motivate them.0

I accept every admirer.0

I've been a member here for a pretty good while, and I have about a jillion MFP friends, and it has never once presented me with any sort of a problem. I accept them all and I'm very slow to delete. More is merrier, it's motivating to see what others are doing.
I'll admit I still have folks on my friends list that have been MIA for over a year, and I leave them on there hoping they'll come back and planning to be a friendly face for them if/when they do.
**like**0 -
I accept everyone .. because I'm awesome like that.. I would hate to miss our on a potential awesome friend just because they weren't sure what to say or they picked an ugly picture..
Completely agree!0 -
I have it on my profile that I won't accept FR's without a message - for the same reason many others have stated - I want *some* sense of who you are and often, even the briefest message will give me some clues. There are some stalkerish/unsafe people around that can and will hack your private information if given the chance; messages help me determine who I feel may be safe or unsafe in a real world context.
But generally speaking, I probably accept 90% of FR's, regardless of message. Frankly, "friending" someone online doesn't mean you're going to ACTUALLY be friends. It's okay to decline; it's okay to delete. We aren't hanging out together at Joey's every Friday night schmoozing over beers about our daily woes or achievements in the rest of our private worlds. Sometimes, actual friendships and romances happen. Sometimes.
If you accept 100% of FR's 100% of the time, you're setting yourself up. If you decline all FR's based on stringent rules, you're missing out. Acceptance balanced with good, common sense seems a good policy for me.
Oh, and getting upset about other's people's choices of operation is just plain silly. No one said we had to all be the same.... or did I miss the memo? Again?0 -
I accept every admirer.
haha0 -
i could not ignore someone....at least not online im not an ahole
Exactly. Its a dieting website for us to ENCOURAGE people, not ignore them because we dont like the way they look or because they didnt think to send a message with thier request.
:laugh:
Hhmmm yea you took way to much out of what I said. Not everybody is a creeper. Thats all everybody ever talks about on this site. Smh... if all ur worried about is creepers then why even be on a social website?!0
