    To tell you the truth, I don't really care. They're a bunch of strangers to me really and the world is full of rude people and they have the ability to be even more rude when on the internet.

    I don't like blank FR's...I wish there was away to send it back saying, please tell me why you want to be my friend...like did I make you laugh in the forums? Are we friends with a lot of the same people?

    ^^^agree!

    Today on the news it was reported, people who do not reply to friend requests, or are ignored, go through the same emotional pain as you would in person. It is like being shunned or ignored at the cool kids table!
    This report was for FaceBook, but this sounds like it is along the same lines.

    Yes, its rude, but how do you know?

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^this

    so, i'm being rude when click decline?........ i never thought about it..............

    well played
    scuse me? how do you quote and make those box thingies and write something...i fail today lmao!
    Please don't learn. The quote within a quote within a quote is annoying.

    the best ones are when the person doesnt REALLY know how to do it, and replies somewhere in the middle.....

    No it's not..it's fun.....like "Row Row Row Your Boat":smokin:

    I'm liking this thread more and more. It gives me a list of people to automatically deny should a FR ever come across. Because I love it when people tell me I'm rude for declining, or a snob b/c I want to keep a small friends list or stupid b/c I share personal thoughts.

    Fabulous info.

    Nothing like demanding something from someone you've never met(and probably never will for that matter). I agree that is a pleasant occurrence when I open up MFP and there is a friend request. Even better when there is a message attached. BUT Sometimes I like to assume you know why I am requesting you... :) I'm sure if something popped up saying "you've been denied" it might sting for a second but luckily there isn't... and we move on!

    This just happened to me the other day-guy sends request with a lame message (but at least there was a message) I don't recall ever speaking to this person on the boards so I sent a PM asking him if we had spoken and why the friend request-his reply "No idea-I add a lot of people"

    instant "decline" He couldn't even tell me why he wanted to be friends!

    and the only requests I ignore are the ones with no messages as my profile states clearly to send a message or you will not be accepted

    I don't reply to friend requests if I don't know them.

    :huh: how does that work?

    Must be hard this way to make new friends. :laugh:

    Hahahaha same here. I don't tend to send them anymore either, because when you send them rarely (and yes people, always with a message. To me its like phone calls. I screen them for a reason. If its important you'll leave a message, if it isn't, I didn't need to talk to you anyway), and notice your friends list isn't getting any bigger....you start to wonder whats wrong with you. Like aren't we mostly all here for the same reason? We aren't all bad people. Some of us are actually looking for motivation and encouragement.......

    This is a relatively safe site, not a seedy bar, I don't feel that I have "weed" out a ton of people for my safety.

    If you annoy me, or start acting too weird, then your nexted. Easy as that.

    what if it WAS a seedy bar?

    Well then you're going to have to prove that you're cool enough. ;)

    Seriously, you have the ultimate control here. Unless the request was truly bizarre, the option to unfriend is always there.

    I accept all friend requests, because I mean really there is no such thing as too much support, especially during a weight loss journey! Now, once we are friends if they arent a supportive friend I delete them.

    I accept everyone. I am not prejudice. Most of the people who don't accept aren't even worth you time, i realized that. A lot of them are self absorbed.

    There are a lot of great people out there, and some not so great. I "rarely" leave a little message when sending a request. It's a test, to see if this person is worthy or not. A smart person would say "this person might be a good friend, might have something to offer." and accept anyways. Those who just decline, that speaks of their character. You don't want those types of people. You want people who are open
    minded, educated, successful, fun.

    If they don't accept, it just means they're narrow minded. I have had people who i sent a request to who emailed me back asking me why and what not. I explained myself, they added me. They offered nothing! Don't waste your time with those people.













    That's the biggest load of bull**** EVER

    Actually, I take back what I said earlier. I think I've not accepted a few requests without leaving messages as to why... I just don't remember why I declined the requests? Hm...

    Also... WOW.
