    I have been shocked how many friend requests I've gotten lately. I'm guessing its the new year or I smell better, something.. Anyways my question is, Do you ever look at the profile and just think "nah, I don't think this person and I would get along" or "something about their picture and I don't jive" or "Uh, this chick looks freaking crazy?" and not approve the friend request. I hate to decline friend requests but there are some where I don't really want to approve either. Just wondering what the etiquette is considered on friend requests.

    *also I have a bunch of people queued up in friend requests from the last few days, this doesn't pertain to you guys, sadly enough I've been lazy and not looked through them much!"
    I think it might be from your comments on the thread about hot men!! You have got all the women on her excited!!!

    I pretty much just ignore all the people skinnier than me. ;)

    Or the people prettier than me

    Maybe they could help you, seen as they have had success.....just saying

    I don't get very many, either! I must not smell very good, either!

    Not sure what the etiquette is-- on Facebook I have no problem not accepting requests. But on here, I pretty much accept them all. So far seem like a nice bunch of people so far.

    i understand the facebook thing because its more like a place to keep in touch with friends and family.

    i use facebook for promotional purposes though i dont spam everyone with invites to clubs or anything.

    I don't discriminate, I don't think I've turned down a friend request yet.

    Although I will clean out every once in awhile, just people who haven't logged on in like over a month.

    But besides that, I'm nosy enough to accept whoever :)

    I don't get a lot a friend requests, but I'm not on MFP to be popular. I'm here to get fit and lose weight. Friends are a bonus. I'd rather have a fewer and be there for them everyday, cheer them up, than having too many without being able to really help them in their journey.

    If you had a pic like mine, you would probably get fewer friend requests. :wink: I love winter, and love running in the snow, reason why I put that up there.

    I get zero. Nothing, zip, nada.
    Everyone goes nuts for those half naked guys showing off their big muscles.
    Funny, fluffy guys need love too. WE NEED LOVE TOO! :sad:

    I'm pretty sure it's not because you're not half naked and more so because you think women should look a certain way.... or else.

    I have gotten 2 because of my profile pic. THOSE are keepers.

    Same here. Don't have a lot (probably because of the pic) but they are keepers.
    I did put my pic at first, but decided that it wasn't what I wanted. Only friends can
    really "see" me.

    I generally approve everyone, but I do a lot of deleting afterwards. FML. (;

    I get very few friend requests. Maybe I should update my profile, or on second thoughts maybe I should hide it :laugh:


    You look like a committed really cool guy I'm surprised you don't get loads of requests!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I wasn't already you I would be your friend. :ohwell:

    LOL

    Love your sense of humor!
