It's a cut and dry question...personally, I don't ever turn down an honest request but when there is no msg attached...I just think - why did you send ME a request in the first place? Is it to get to 500 female friends on MFP? I don't know....how do you feel?

    Usually no, unless I have seen them on friends pages.

    i do, because it's pretty obvious you found me in a thread or we have mutual friends already. i don't need a message because i hope to interact and learn what you're all about and it doesnt take long to see the difference between someone who finds you inspirational or simply attractive

    On my profile page I ask for a little message, 90% of the time I'll accept without a message. It's not a deal breaker for me. :-)

    Nope.

    I put on my profile to include a message if you wanted to be friends. I always send a message when requesting. It just seems odd to do it out of the blue.

    I prefer getting a message. It sucks that if you keep your profile private there's no way to request messages with FRs. :grumble:

    Nope. I want to know why they want to be my friend. If they think I'm inspirational: Cool. Think I'm funny: Awesome. Have friends in common: Let's do it. But a FR with no message irks the **** out of me.

    I don't think I have ever turned down a friend request, also, I don't usually put a message when I send one. I just figure, if people want to add me it is because they either know someone I know or they have seen me post on a message board.

    Yup, I do. I also sometimes send requests with no message. I don't know what to say sometimes, lol

    Yeah, I figure if someone gives me a reason to not be friends with them, I'll just delete them.

    Usually, no.

    The very first line of my profile says that I don't accept friends requests without a message. If someone didn't take a minute or two to read my profile, it makes me wonder why they're friend requesting me in the first place. I don't have a lot of friends on here and don't see any reason to add random people for no reason. I just want to know SOMETHING about them - do we have similar stats? Common interests? Did they like one of my forum posts? Just a quick one-line message is all I'm asking for!

    Yeah I do.

    Can always delete them if needed.

    Thus far that hasn't been necessary.

    I usually don't accept. I have enough trouble trying to keep up with the few friends I have. Also, if they don't interact with me for a week or so, I delete them. I am here to give support and want some support in return.

    If there is no message and their profile is private, then, no, I wont accept their request.

    I agree. It's on my page as well, but I'll generally accept. If they turn out to be a creeper or less sociable, I'll delete.
