    I accept any and all. If you can put up with me, you are a saint. Or as bad as I am.

    Ooooh, one of the cool kids. Lol

    What is one supposed to say? "You're body is hot & it's motivating me so let's be friends."?


    oooops meant to quote

    this was for the OP

    um... I'm sorry if that's how I came across, but all I was saying is I'd like to know why or if there would be a connection. No need to be ugly over my silly request.


    ETA: I never said I was a cool kid....

    Ugly? :cry:

    I really don't think about it all that much
    whats the difference in getting a blank friend request. and one that has a generic one liner about support etc

    a little silly to me...dont overthink it....

    NO!!! You are not PHYSICALLY ugly. Your words about me being a "cool kid" thinking I'm better than others was ugly. I genuinely try to support all of my friends, so I found that hurtful. :cry:

    Let's be honest. The people who say "Oh I accept everyone!" have typically been here for a month. Give them some time and when their list gets to 200 they'll be cutting people as viciously as the rest of us long time users.

    Everyone's list is their own business. How you decide to manage it does not make you better than anyone else.

    You're so cute. :flowerforyou:

    He speaks truth. I view my FL much differently now than when I first started. It all boils down to how much of the social aspect plays into your use of this site. The more social you are, the more particular you get about who to let into your life, even via the internetz.

    when you get in the triple digits, let us know.... and to be fair I DID say it was silly. I did after all, post it in the chit-chat section for a reason.... :flowerforyou:

    I haven't sent a friend's request in a very long time. Maybe I will send one now, with a message.

    I used the to each it's own .....I created my account so I have a right to deny, accept, or want a message when recieving request. We all feel differently about our journey and the support we want...No big deal. Request the next one.. BUT if you don't have a message I will at least go to your page to check out something about yourself....and most of them have nothing there...My page is private so...it helps with the reason for the request... I take my journey seriously so I want those type of people around me to either feel slightly the same or serious about this lifestyle..fun at times but for the most part Go-Getter..... Not adding people just to add....

    So NO...I don't accept any and everyone body....

    FYI....I started here in 08....I have no clue how many friends at that time I acquired....the number never mattered to me
    closed my account for a bit, and came back recently....will continue, as I have, to accept any and all friends requests....I dont know.... for me it doesnt matter if I have 5 or 500 'friends'

    what am I missing?

    and hope to keep this light hearted....:flowerforyou:

    oh ok, I'm sensitive. By the way, you don't look like you need a great deal of help there, sir. But, support is always nice.

    I send along a message with mine, and I believe most of the people who have sent me one have included a message. I have denied a couple with no message, pic and a private profile...I can't even see if we have things in common.

    I also tell people who post "need friends" topics to add me if they want and that my diary is open...I usually respond to the ones I have things in common with but sometimes not. I do not want you to be my friend unless you really want to, I can express my interest but I think it should be mutual! :)

    if that works for you, then nothing, obviously. I just really like to get to know my pals, so I know how to best support them is all. Your way is right for you as mine is for me. And, I did post this as a silly, but I am sincere in my support.

    I agree that everyone's list is their own business.

    However, I do accept everyone, generally, but I do like to keep my list relatively small so I also delete at my own discretion. :laugh:

    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...

    Dont dump me please!
    I love your random posts and look at your picture to inspire me. Osbialy I sent a message with my request since you accepted me. :wink:
