    guess i havent been here long enough to give a **** yet...

    ^^THIS. I accept everybody. Nothing bad has ever come of it.

    This and I too accept everyone, if only to support one another.

    Yes, yes and yes.

    It's only MFP, you know?

    Right before my last reply in this thread, I took the time to send someone a message asking them how they found my profile in order to send me a FR. The young lady read the message and didn't bother to respond. I decided to check out her friends and did find one we have in common. I figure she saw my profile earlier when I commented on my friends exercise. I browsed the other comments to see if this young lady was supportive of my friend. NOPE.

    DENIED!!!!!!! :explode:

    :wink:

    What is the purpose? Do you want to feel important? Do you want to know why everyone just love to be your friend? Who cares.

    The purpose is MUTUAL support and not to be collected like some idiotic internet craze to have a gazillion friends.

    Lol I just like to know where they found me from out of sheer curiosity, so a message would be nice, but I accept all requests anyway.

    I've only recently stopped accepting anyone and want messages attached because my friends list is getting too large for me. Might as well add people who bother reading my profile.

    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 hate messageless friend requests ALMOST as much as I hate profiles that say "Don't send friend requests" or "tell me why we should be friends".

    Just sayin'


    meh... to each his/her own :flowerforyou:

    right? I love the redonkulous questions asking why so much thought in a message or who cares? Obviously they cared enough to come to this CHIT-CHAT silly post, so I'd guess they cared as much about no message as I do about having a message... I'm not one to be collected and I actually do support. Right now I feel there is a ton of dead weight on my page from people I feel I don't know, therefore cannot support. Its not a big deal, but I'm not a collector.

    It makes more sense for someone like yourself to have a large friend list because of your success and wealth of knowledge. I imagine the intention of most is to learn something from you.

    GASP...there is no meaningless friend request. Each one comes from a precious snowflake.

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

    Me too lol. I don't send out many though...at all. What I think is best is getting blank friend requests from people that have 'If you send me a friend request without a message, it will be denied!' as the first line in their profile =D.

    Honestly though, I don't mind blank friend requests at all...even then.
    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.

    My diary is private...I don't need friends to judge or help me with my diet or exercise goals (not that I don't appreciate their support at all...I love 'em for it!). If I can't do it on my own...I'm screwed anyhow right? Besides...I have a lot of VERY incredible friends, who have serious issues with my eating style. It's much easier to maintain those friendships if they believe I'm happily plugging away eating 72 times a day like they do lol.

    I deny most friend requests - even if there is a message.

    I'm mean like that.

    Exception - lots of mutual friends that are awesome - if they love you, I'm sure I will too.



    Also, I don't understand why people get upset when you decline a friend request - do you *really* want someone on your list that doesn't want to be there? There are millions of users on here - go find someone else who *will* give you the support/encouragement/entertainment that you need.
