Friend Request denials.

I've been denied like the last three FRs I sent out. I'm starting to get a teeny bit of a complex. Do I smell? Better question yet is, why am I fretting about it?


Now, I deny blank FRs, but I say that in my profile. If someone sends you a FR and they add a message (and it's not creepy ...) what reason(s) would you still give them a deny? (saying of course that you are accepting them at all)

    I warned them about your potty mouth.

    But seriously though, certain keywords cause your friend request to not get sent. One example would be profanity. If you say **** or ****, in the friend request, the other person will never get it.

    Don't take it personally, I think some people just have a lot of friends already and can't support any more.

    I have never sent a FR and probably never will :P Why? because I, I, I, I dunno lol I just never have. I have refused some though, but i'll say it's for my own personal reasons....but if you wanna add me, i'm not much of a chit chatty person but I won't deny you lol And I did once almost send a FR....:P

    I send them a message, tell them why I am not adding them, and offer to answer any questions they might have via private messages. A lot of people want to add me just to see how I eat and exercise, but I can answer those questions without crowding my news feed.

    It sounds rude, but I try to be very polite and encouraging (even when the requests are from creepy people)

    I deny almost all friend requests because I am a weirdo and very shy. It has nothing to do with the requesters and everything to do with me. I'm the Boo Radley of MFP.

    Oh I did not know that. I rarely have this problem as I usually don't send FRs but I usually accept them and then delete or hide the person at a later date if they end up being creepy or annoying.

    It's true. We did extensive testing a long time back. There also seem to be some other random triggers that make FR's mysteriously never get received, but as you might imagine, it's very hard to diagnose this from the end user's perspective. Or it might just be a random bug.

    I add people on here occasionally, but I never add anyone on Facebook. I decided a couple of years ago that if someone wanted to be my friend they would have to add me. Everyone I tell that to thinks I'm weird, and I'm not friends with some people I wish I could be friends with but oh well!

    I know I've been deleted off of friends lists before because the rejector wanted to focus energy on fewer friends and give them more support. They didn't want a bunch of nonsense clogging up their newsfeed.

    I might reject someone if I don't think they would support my goals, if they are a whiner, or if it's a really hot guy. I am married, and if a really hot guy sends me a friend request and he isn't wearing a shirt in the photo, it's probably for the best if I keep my distance.

    I get requests daily with no message-my profile states you will be denied if no message is included. So for me-if people can't read-not accepting.

    NO WAY. I probably used the fu@k word in every single one of those request.

    Thank you. I apologise for being an introverted weirdo. You're awesome, and I admire you from afar. :blushing:
