    I typically don't send requests to people that get so damn hung up on the "including a message" that they feel the need to put a whole paragraph lecturing about it in their profile.

    It seems quite pretentious and self important.

    I have made a few exceptions to that because my friends are super awesome. :wink:

    As for accepting. I will read the profile and if they seem like we'll have something in common or if I recognize them from the board, I accept. If it doesn't work out later, I'll delete them.

    I don't accept if they haven't filled out a profile or have any pictures.

    Just curious what's wrong with someone that has an ED? I get the creeper part of not wanting to add. Anyone that has issues with food (ie binge eating) has an eating disorder.

    Have you ever been upset and eaten then regretted it? ED
    Have you ever not eaten when you are upset? ED
    Have you ever eaten so much you feel like you're going to be sick? ED

    Granted those examples are only if they start to rule your life, but come on there are so many people that have issues with food. It's not just the girls that starve themselves that have a problem. So that would be most of the people on here. I have an ED and I am a very nice person. I don't encourage EDs they suck.

    That being said, I have people on my FL who accept me for who I am. They are supportive and understanding. They do not judge me.

    Just wondering what the issue is with having a friend with an ED would do to make someone uncomfortable.

    what about creepers with ED?
    A creeper's a creeper their eating habits have nothing to do with it.

    I think he meant Erectile Dysfunction...

    I cast the runes.

    Also, if there's no profile pic (doesn't even have to be you), or no message I'll decline (unless it's someone I know or a friend has recommended them and they are starting out).

    Honestly, you don't want me as a friend. I'm a nutty fruitcake.

    Friend request? You mean people actually ASK you to be their friend? Amazing. I definitely need more friends. I talk to myself way too much.

    When someone sends you a friend request, do you

    a) Just hit Accept. What is the worst that could happen?
    b) Immediately check out their profile. Is it filled out? Is it funny/scary/informative? Are there naughty/hot photos?
    c) Check out their Friends list. All men? All women? Is your arch nemesis there?
    d) Subject them to the immediate scrutiny of your existing friends. Crowd sourcing for the win!
    e) Resort to tools such as Google and Tineye. What is the REAL dirt on this person?
    f) Other

    Inquiring minds want to know!

    f: Reject. I don't do friends.

    This really isnt a scattered thought, Mr. OP. This thought seems reflected and thought upon. Not scattered at all.

    A. I'm not a "friend collector" and rarely send friend requests but I have a lot of friends, because I accept everyone. Most of them don't have messages, I just assume they think I'm awesome and go on with my day.

    I also don't delete people, because who cares? I've only deleted one person and that's because she was a c u next Tuesday. :happy:

    You told me you it was because I was too nice!! How could you lie to me like that? I thought we were bestest anonymous internet buddies for LIFE!!
