yea it's not hard at all!!!! I usually Go with
"Hello heavenly blessed beauty whose inner beauty and outter beauty is simply divine and everlasting, Yours is an ancient beauty, the kind of muse that inspired Omar Khayyam or the Chauraspanchasika. Surely it was an angel like you who wooed Odysseus as he stood tied to the mast or whose light burst from the balcony that inspired Romeo... to song. Oh be my muse, fair princess and we shall teach the generations to come how to love."
Works well i find.
Hmmm. I feel like this might scare me a bit.0 -
I just do not get the butthurt of people who do not agree with people's personal preference to ask for a message. I have one in my profile but apparently I am elitist or conceited just for having it! I am not sure what smacks of elitism about my request for a message.
Mine says: "Friend requests: I DO NOT ACCEPT FRs WITHOUT A NOTE INDICATING WHY YOU WANT TO ADD ME. I am always happy to add like-minded folks but like to keep up with my friends and so while I am very flattered if you want to add me, I want to keep that list manageable."
Could someone please explain how that it elitist or conceited?
Sorry for the caps - it is a copy paste from my profile and I put the caps on to try to bring peoples attention to it, which does not seem to work in any event, as I do not like declining FRs out of hand.
I completely agree. I'm on her list, so obviously she has no standards. Just bash the keyboard a few times to get some letters printed in the FR box.0 -
Since your profile is blank unless I am your friend, I have no idea if I share any interests or not. I would send a blank FR to match your profile...
That's all well and good, but hypothetically why are you friend requesting me in the first place if you don't know anything about me?
I'm not. Why are you asking the question of people who you are judging you don't want to be friends with for such an arbitrary reason?
Whose on FIRST??0 -

Well if it's too hard for them to write a message, how would I know it's not too hard for them to be a friend on here?
And I don't understand why they give a crap if someone has a criteria or preference for friend requests, why does it matter so much to them?
Indeed. If you don't agree with the stipulations, then just move on; it would seem that you probably shouldn't be friends anyway.0 -
You should be thankful. You could be some poor sap that has NEVER had someone send a friend request without a message like...uh...a friend of mine. Yeah, a friend of mine. I'm sure it probably gives him a major complex that he isn't good looking enough, or funny enough, or active enough that people would just send out random friend requests just for the opportunity to have some sort of contact with me, I mean him. You should be thankful. I sure wouldn't want to be him.
I actually started feeling badly you - until I looked and saw that you really don't want any. Well played!0 -
I don't care if I get friend requests with or without a message or not. Sometimes I send a message if I want to be friends with someone sometimes I don't. If you want to be friends with me fine, if not ok, no big deal. I give all my friends support and motivation.0

I give about this many fucks about a message in a friend request. It really isn't that important or worth stressing over. I hope for your sake all future friend requests come with a message. God bless. :flowerforyou:
What if God was one of us?
He'd apparently be overweight since he joined the site.
He might even post about sub-1200 calorie diets and starvation mode.
I bet he'd be smug and keep his diary private. Some people...0 -

I think he'd prefer a message if we ever wanna be his BFF0 -

I think requesting a message w/ a friend request is way overrated. LOL. Either accept or decline, its the internet. LOL0

Dang, I....um....my friend can't complain anymore. He just received an anonymous friend request. Woo Hoo! One of the gang!0 -
I accept everybody's friend request. I'm easy. :drinker:0

Until Tuesday, I'm requiring all new friends to send me their absentee election ballot. After that, it will be their Christmas bonus.0

Lol funny thread! Honestly often I don't even notice the messages when I get a request. I probably wouldn't notice if someone deleted me either. It's an online site not real life! I'm really not sweating what happens here. I love the support I get from the friends I have and I have others who are probably "friend collectors". I could care less. I've never been so miffed I deleted someone. That is not to say I wouldn't, but I just don't think I take this as seriously as the OP and others.0

Interesting thread. 5 of my friends have participated. 2 sent me friends request my first day without messages, 1 I sent the FR without the message and 2 with a message. All ways have been valid.
I DO know that I probably would have given up already if it weren't for them. And I think that's what's most important to me.
I have to say that I'm so happy to be one of your friends! You make me smile every single day and I get a kick out of you
. You inspire me, motivate me, and amaze me! I'm glad you accepted me 0 -
Let's be honest here... if the guy or gal is hot... you accept it no matter if there is message or not... so that's the real deal breaker0

I never send a friend request without a message. Having said that, I accept everyone because I'm a narcissist.0

TRUTH
The people without messages are the ones that are often only friends with young women...creepy.0 -

Because your hot..... why else? :drinker:0 -
It is also not that hard to click "Decline".
.....like you said, you don't know these people. Why worry about it?
For one, I'm not worried. I'm just asking for insight because I'm curious. And like I said, I do hit decline.
This is chit-chat dude, I don't lose sleep over it.
Apparently you lose sleep over it if you're posting on the forum about it... Why not just take a change and accept? The remove friend key is a wonderful thing.0 -
and that is why I reject 95% of my requests! :flowerforyou:
Id say 94% of your 95% requests are based solely in your profile pic goodness graciousness...0 -
Honestly I put down that comment in my quote to ward off friend collectors, pervs requesting pics (yeah ppl ask ME of all people for pics:noway: ), and needy people . The thing about this site is that everyone is a complete stranger and I just want to log my calories and exercises not comment on your unsupportive BFF and how you hate yourself for going over by 100 calories.0

I sure have missed some good posts on these ol' threads being on vacation. Good gracious.0

Since I got serious it is looking a bit sad that I apparently have 'no friends'. LOL I sent off a few random requests and introduced myself but happy for anybody to say hello! All I'm really looking for is a bit of motivation to help me as I go. I have found that the more people you tell you're trying to lose weight , etc the more people that are interested and support you... and the more people you will let down if you fail! haha
By the way, i'm 14kgs down now since 13 August! Woohoo!!0 -
Lol...don't care if there's a message or not!0
