    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.

    Everyone goes nuts for those half naked guys showing off their big muscles.

    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 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!
