    Some people just don't even bother to look at pages or anything. My page clearly states I am not accepting fr but I am still getting them. *sigh*

    it must clearly state it to people that are already your friends, because to everyone else, it's 100% private.

    Thats because when people who are not on your friends list go to your profile they dont see that. When I clicked your profile all it shows me is your pic an the send message add as friends button. So in their defense they can not see that you are not accepting requests because your profile is private

    What I hate is people dont even bother to read my profile,it says right there that I am a freak who loves blow up dolls and porn so you know what your getting into when you add me. But it never fails someone will add me delete me a week later with a message saying I freaked them out or all my fetish talk was too much...ect ect its actually pretty funny so i guess i dont hate it too much

    I don't think you are all that bad...

    Hmmm..what does that say about me?

    Be witty, use your charms, let people know why they should be your friend!!

    "I want to get fit" is a poor example of a friend request

    "I see you run marathons, and I just started training myself, would love fellow runner friends for inspiration" - is better

    "Read your diary, and your profile, you reek of awesomeness" - May also be acceptable.



    josh this why i jus love you!!!!!!!!

  • Nice to read the MFP etiquette. I'm new, but I haven't sent anyone friend requests yet.

    unless tinkerbell is risque.....thats not the issue its been up for two days and ive gotten several....

    Tink is totally risque... LOL She's the fairy with the biggest booty and hourglass figure! Her jealousy fits are so crazy her whole face turns red... Tink is one of Disney's sexiest toons right up there with Ariel, Bell and Jasmine.

    I requested someone just because they had a Spongebob pic up. Having a common favorite cartoon character is reason enough to request someone. You could also respond back, "Not currently accepting friends at this time". :laugh:

    I just randomly request friends and I never add a message. Accept it or not. Quit complaining about EVERYTHING!

    I need to build up my fan base. ;)

    I used to have the whole "No message, no accept" verbage on my wall until I realized if my profile is visable to friends only, the people FR'ing me won't see it :noway:

    I realized I was doing this as well... my profile says "send a message with your FR... blah blah blah"... yet my profile was private, so they can't see that to begin with.

    It has hence been fixed since...

    Not visible here. :) Everyone won't be able to see it as long as your profile is visible to friends only.

    Good to know! I am new. Well, kind of. I am really off and on, but am determined to stay this time! So I sent (and received) some friend requests without a message just to try to build some sort of support system. Hopefully no one took offense to my no message friend request! But it seems a lot of people agree with your statement that there should be a message, which I am glad to know for future requests :)

    I always try to send a note. Because it seems like the non-stalker thing to do.... or wait... maybe I've got that wrong...
