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

    I found this to be true in a lot of cases.

    But anywho...

    holy fu@k FRs yesterday and today. Did I seem that sad to everyone?

    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.

    is this true for messages as well?
    I don't think so. I've definitely gotten messages with profanity before.

    I think it can be because of the same reason as peopke here have too many friends which they cant really cope with.
    Or it can be your username try making it more specific ( a friendly suggestion) feel free to add me :-)

    Oh no - it was determined it was due to my extraordinary use of the f-bomb in my original requests.

    Well before i accept a friend request i first look at the persons profile and what kinda replier they are . On February 8th you replied to over 10 + topics. That would mean you would dominate my page and all i would see are high socks and white legs. That alone would hesitate me from accepting your request. On average some people reply every few days but some reply day in and day out. That would freaking annoy me and i would just eventually hide your profile, Then delete if it continues. Being honest here ! :ohwell:

    This! If I receive a friend request or send one only to see you are a friend "collector" (usually men adding women) then I delete. I don't need to know your every move with 50 women all commenting on it.

    I've been deleted as well with no notice from one woman. Every post of hers was how she messed up that day followed by 6 other people telling her tomorrow is a new day and so on. I stopped commenting on her statuses because nothing ever changed. Oh well.

    I only deny men that seem creepy or girls that are pro-ana. Or FR's with no message lol.
    There's been a rash of creepy men lately here, so I basically aren't accepting any right now.

    I rarely, and I mean rarely, send requests. It's not that I am full of myself.

    The way I look at it is...you know in the old westerns when the indians ambushed the cowboys? To me, if I send a request, I am ambushing some poor cowpoke just trying to make it home in time for supper.

    You should know. You are a friend. Imagine not being prepared.

    But I have to say my friends are most excellent and I am truly lucky to have them.

    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.

    Love the TKAM reference!!

    I get alot of requests for some reason, mainly from females and I have never talked to them via PM or forums or anything. I just get randomly invited. I add them in but most of them dont last in my friends list long since its all about "me, me, me". While I treat this place a little bit like a social networking site, I am not gonna add you as a friend just to be an audience to your attention seeking.

    I have some wonderful friends in my friends list who I try to motivate and who try to motivate me. If you're not that kind of person, I am sorry but I will have to part ways. I believe in few quality friends rather than 1000 friends treating this likst facebook

    I deny a lot of requests for many different reasons. It's nothing personal, and I don't think I'm the *kitten* or anything, but, I'm a little picky.

    I can think of 2 I denied:

    1 - female -- we just had very different goals -- mine is to lose weight mainly, hers was to build a lot of muscle and get ahnold-fit. I didn't get it, lol

    2nd; male -- I viewed his profile before responding to the request -- his friends were mostly female with boob-shots for pro-pics. And his profile was blank.

    After getting some friend requests from mostly guys with no messages as to why they were adding me, I deleted my profile pic (face & some body shots) and now only get requests from women (with similar goals), lol.

    Now, I only add ppl who include msgs with their requests. I've had enough creeps sending requests, it's caused me to be a bit more picky.
