    I never understood the point of having to have a msg to be someones friend...I accept everyone until they make me feel awkward then they are gone..I guess Im nice that way..I dont see why its so required ! When I first started here I didnt KNOW IT WAS MANDATORY to send a msg for someone to accept you and help you thru the process...man have things changed !!!!!!!!!!

    Well, speaking for myself, I tend to get into some heated discussions in the forums (and the Debate Group). I've had someone make a physical threat in one of the forums. So, yeah, I'm wanting a little more info on why someone wants to be my friend.

    I'm a friend requester, and I don't always send a message. I'm not a creepy person or a lazy person. Okay, strike the last comment. I'm struggling with my weight, so I'm a BIT lasy :-p. Sometimes I just don't send a message.

    Are we talking about here on MFP or Facebook and other social sites? The reason I ask is this...if someone friends me here on MFP without a message my assumption is that they need support, friendship, someone to talk to who has similar goals (weightloss). So on a site like this one, I don't feel a message is really needed.

    On Facebook, I will always message the person if I'm not sure who they are.

    I can see where you're coming from. I, however, take the same precautions on any web site. :)

    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 only friend people who I see are looking for friends. I feel like a creeper if i just add someone unless I see we have something in common. I usually will send a message along if thats the case though.

    No picture, no message = no friend. Too many wierdos out there. Why would someone want to be your friend without letting you know why? Ex. - friends in common, same goals, live near each other, etc.

    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.

    It shows you have a lack of affection for that thing called truth.
