messageless friend requests

IpuffyheartHeelsinthegym

Denied! I mean.... is it really that hard to say why we should be pals? You make me feel like a real assmonkey hitting decline, so pretty please don't make me feel that way, because I really don't like it.... k, thanks! :drinker: :bigsmile:

I accept any and all friend requests. I usually put a message when I ask for a friend request.

interceptor311

I approve any

I don't feel like this...if it's blank, deny.

aj_31

I think I've always put a message with my request. I like to know why people want to be 'friends' with me. Do you like my comments, my progress, or what. I'm not into adding friends for numbers.

I like your use of the word assmonkey

mommared53

I accept any friend request whether there's a message or not.

lickmybaconcakes

Agreed but I'm unsure as to this assmonkey is.

Contrarian

I decline almost all of them, message or not. I'm a weirdo.

pretty much the main reason for me to post this, lol.

kealambert

Those and people who hide their diary from you.

honestly, I don't see the point in reaching out for friends on here who can't help you if they don't know where you might be going wrong.

hence the reason I vowed never to send one. I'll just keep admiring from afar. :happy:

Fizzycakes

I like friend requests because it gives me people to support

IpuffyheartHeelsinthegym

Agreed but I'm unsure as to this assmonkey is.

well, when I hit decline, that would be me.

Me too -- except the weirdo part. I'm eccentric.

I use MFP not just for fitness and calorie counting, but for the social aspect also. So just like in real life, there is no way I'm going to automatically be friends with someone based solely on a profile pic. You want to be friends? Great, tell me why. You saw something I wrote in a forum and it made you laugh/made you angry/give you inspiration. We are the same age/have same goals/live in same town. Or Hi, I'm awesome so you should totally accept my FR. (yes, I got one of those recently and hells yes I accepted)

It takes a couple seconds to write a sentence or two. So yea, I'm with OP, no message, no acceptance.

ThePhoenixRose

I've denied 11 today with no messages. It's not that hard people!!!! Tell me i'm pretty or something... :laugh:

~deny~

when you are as offensive as i am, i really would like to know why the hell someone is friend requesting me in the first place. i'll still usually accept with a message, but i at least can, i don't know, warn them or at least pre-apologize.

~*~ blank requests are creepster to me. and proves you can't read a profile, so why do i need to give that person my time? ~*~

BrettPGH

Denied two blank ones just now.

I equate it to trying to be friends with someone by walking up and standing next to them. Not saying a word. Just being there. Kind of strange...

:laugh: This! I never thought of it that way but it's a great analogy.

Loko_Ino

No message and profile on private so I can't even see if we have common friends and that is how you know me.

Denied for sure, sucks since my profile says in several place to send a message with your FR. So either you can't read of you just don't give a rats *kitten* about my requests...

taso42

I decline most. The blank ones actually make it easier.

IpuffyheartHeelsinthegym

I'm supportive of those I feel I know, but also completely random and at times offensive. I feel like my list is getting to the "dumping" point, because I don't know and/or talk to or hear from half the people there. I was just willy nilly accepting blanks.... *sigh* no more...

Il_DaniD_lI

I will deny some messageless requests but accept others. Without a message I will usually deny all 18-19 year olds and anyone with over 500 friends. Or if I just feel like my list is too big at the moment I'll deny all messageless. Never refuse a request with a message included.

FYI...Creepers send messages with FRs too..they teach us that in Creeper 101

lisakyle_11

if the requests are blank, i will deny at this point. i want those on my friends lists to be just that - friends - those i want to hear from. i keep my list relatively small for that purpose.

morganhccstudent724

I don't like it.

UsedToBeHusky

I accept any and all friend requests. I usually put a message when I ask for a friend request.

This. You can never be sure who does or doesn't accept messageless requests so I just always send something. And it is appreciated that if you choose to decline anyway, to respond with some polite reasoning.
