I wonder why... MSG MUST BE INCLUDED?

As I browse in topics and post in topics, I often read what people wrote. Sometimes, I click the persons name and see if there could be more pictures or even read their little biography.
Here's my thing, I don't care who adds me; guy, girl, fat, skinny, avitar of a dog, a saying or even if there is a message attached. I find it pretty cool that people, random people want to add me. So...
what's with the people stating in their profile that "MUST INCLUDE A MESSAGE OR I WILL NOT ADD YOU!". I sometimes feel that some, NOT ALL, but some of the people who put that into their profile must MUST think they are God's gift of the "Friend world". Sometimes, I put them in the "rich snobby superstar" category, you know, the actors and actresses that feel they are too cool to chill with regular people like you and me.
So to the people that have that in their profile, why? It's like your only allowed to have so many friends and once you pick them your stuck with them. Whats up with that message?
Here is the FUNNY thing, SOME of the people that have that in their profile had added me and sent me a blank message.. :laugh:
whew... anyway.. whoever wants to be my friend, I require nothing, nothing at all :drinker: There is no prerequisite to post on my wall or to explain yourself.. I never heard anyone in real life say, "hey can we be friends because...." it just happens... I dunno..

I like messages from the guys that have 56 female friends and haven't lost a pound.
Hey, everybody needs a pick me up, even if they smell their hands afterwards.0 -
:huh:

I put it in my profile because of people like you. I get a little thrill that someone, somewhere is so anal that he or she is that upset about what's written on my MFP profile.
Thank you.0 -
Because I don't want spammy @$$holes, or trolls, or weirdos. At least send me a message as to why you feel like friending me. You don't just walk up to a stranger and start following them around. You engage in conversation, take a liking and start to be friends. Come on man, it's not hard to figure out. It's creepy when someone friends you, and then never comments or messages or writes or anything. You're like, WTF? I require all my friends are active. I delete people that don't chat or send messages once in a while. I also delete people that aren't healthy, either junk food people or those that have an ED. I want healthy happy active people on my FL. If that is offensive, then whateves.0

It's polite.
I decline anybody without a message. Because to be honest, I don't know where they came from or why they want to be my friend?
Is it some random teen with an ED? Is it some Buffalo Bill female collector?
I have no interest in a friendship of any of those types.0 -

couldn't it still be those types of people who crafted a good statement to be friends?0 -
I thought this was a thread about mono sodium glutamate. I love the stuff. Millions of Asians can't be wrong.

Me too.
I love the stuff... I know some people get headaches from it, but dammit... it makes my meat taste tastier!0 -
because I have enough/too many friends as is and would like to know how or why I could support them or vice versa. Or, when my page was public, that was my reason for it. We all have our own reasons. It doesn't mean anyone thinks they are above anyone else... it just is what it is.0
-
Because I AM super special and want to make everybody on my FL do my bidding without having them question me. If they can't follow that one simple instruction to send a message with a FR then they are hardly likely to do anything else more complicated. :yawn:0

not at all, :drinker: I guess maybe I haven't come across those types of people. I added someone who said we are alot alike because we are both ecto, I deleted her, because all of her negativity she posts on the walls. There been people who sent me no rhyme or reason to be my friend, and they are pretty cool. So I guess it doesn't matter to me if there is a message or not. But I understand.

I used to think it was weird to say that. I don't have that in my profile, but I understand why people do it after being here a while.
I have 176 friends...i am trying not to add many more because I got overwhelmed with over 250 at one point. I like to pay attention to my friends and be supportive, and it was getting impossible.
Sometimes when I play in the forums a lot, i will get 30 friend requests in one day. I dont require a message, but I might add one person who chose to write something funny or introduce themselves and say, hey i saw you wrote this or that, etc etc.
soooo for people who have enough friends, a message goes a long way

I like to interact with my friends, a lot. I have a good amount. If I accepted everybody, I'd not be able to keep up.
If you don't leave a message in the request, it's rude.
It's commonly known people like messages in the requests.
So I don't need to be friends with somebody who cannot leave a freaking simple message.0 -

then I am glad I left you one, because you do put up some cool topics... like your newest one.. haha0 -

I thought this was going to be a discussion of the high sodium content of mono-sodium glutamate. :laugh:0 -
Well, I ask people to leave a message so that I can engage in some kind of common interest chat with them. When they send a blank FR I go to their profile and glance over it. More often than not I'll accept. I've never declined. If they leave no message, I'm kinda given the task to iniate in coversation and ask "hey buddy, where did you see my profile and why did you add me?" or something like that. Just to know if we share the same common interests. I dont automatically decline people, in fact some of the most awesome people on my friends list sent no message. If I declined them, I would have no idea how funny or awesome they are.
But thats just me. :drinker:0 -
It's polite. I don't demand it but I will always include a message myself. How hard is it to say, saw you in a forum, we're from the same place, same age etc.
Nice to be nice.0 -
And I hate that it seems rude, but when you've got a certain amount of friends...you have to weed them out somehow.

and thats how I feel... that's why I asked.. I am not judging anyone, just a curious question0 -
I like to interact with people on my list, as much as I can. If someone sends a request, it's nice to know why.
Even if it just says "hello".
Plus if someone picks me at random, without reading my profile, they may be surprised at things that come out of my mouth at times. And I really don't want to offend anyone's delicate sensibilities.0 -

When I saw your profile, because of how you word things, I bet you would have put it in a polite way. Funny how we interpret what we read.0 -

Me too.
I love the stuff... I know some people get headaches from it, but dammit... it makes my meat taste tastier!
I am someone who gets headaches from it. It took a LONG time to isolate the cause of weird come-and-go headaches. I haven't had a headache since I started label-checking for it, not even a sinus headache. (Though I think the sinus thing is also due to proper hydration.) I also get headaches from aspartame. :ohwell:0 -
It would be included in the things I have to see on a trip to new york, for sure.

I don't ask for it, but I understand why people do. It is "polite" and gives people a better understanding off why they want your support.
After awhile, friend's lists start to get longer, and then you have a bunch of random friends who never talk to you.0 -

This! I am a very nice, down to earth person. I certainly don't think I'm God's gift of anything. I've accepted blank FR and they ended up being one or more things listed above..I won't DECLINE if there isn't a message. I would just appreciate one! 0 -
a message is like striking up a conversation with someone in a bar and getting to know them, then asking for their number to hang out sometime...
no message is like walking up to a random group of people in a bar and just standing there like you are part of the group without saying anything...
it's just weird...I want to know "how did you find me?"
mutual friend? you liked something I posted? what?0 -
Because I want people who give and receive support and not friend collectors, which I have experienced and which is what caused me to add that to my profile.0
-
I like to know what drew them to me. If it was something I am passionate about, then I know I can have a conversation with them about it. If they think I am outrageously funny, then say it. What drew you to me?0
