Friends List envy?

matt2442

No because if someone declines me, I just message them asking them if they need a pet. Then they accept. Who doesn't love pets?

TylerJ76

Nah.

Most of us are grown adults..

I beg to differ...have you seen some of the ridiculous rules some people have for FR??!

That's why I said MOST

I don't send friend requests as it will make me look like a creeper.

that's actually not a bad idea.

1) replace avatar with sad puppy
2) send out friend requests
3) message anyone who rejects with "why do you hate puppies?"

Huh....I just don't like anyone.

I have no problem sending. If I see positive people or come across a fellow nerd.

I do mutual underwear exchanges. So those who are on my friends list exchanged underwear with me and proved themselves worthy.

I regularly see people who are friends with my friends and think they make an interesting/funny/twisted comment and become intrigued by that (by-curious, if you will).

I'll skim their profile and previous posts to determine they're not crazy and send a request. It's much harder now with the recently implemented privacy controls because with private profiles I can't see previous posts. Kinda tough to make a judgment on one post or comment. And I'm too lazy to search via Google. So I move on. Probably missing out on some awesome people (there are at least two in this thread), but oh well. Not everyone is interested in hearing about my circus ferret training.

That's twice today. I must not mean anything anymore. :sad:

I sent one of the cool kids a FR when I was new because I saw her success story and was really inspired. And she accepted! I was so happy!!

Then she deleted me. I didn't know why...so I sent her a message asking why...

...and she ignored it.

My heart was shattered; my fragile ego was destroyed. I projected back to eighth grade when my "best friend" told me she didn't want to be friends with me anymore because I didn't fit in with the cool kids.

And yet I've built an amazing list of friends here on MFP and no longer feel the sting of her rejection on a daily basis.

:laugh:

People reject me on MFP all the time, but I don't take it personally. If you guys really knew me...well, you'd REALLY run in the other direction!

ETA: I add anyone that sends a message with the request, and I request people that I seem to have many friends in common with.

What is this envy you speak of?

Let's wait for her outside of school tomorrow and beat her up!

yes, the new privacy controls do make it harder to figure out who is a good fit for your list. there are a couple of people posting on this thread that i would accept if they sent a FR, but since i don't really know them except for what i've seen on my friends' walls, i would feel weird sending an FR.

No envy here, I have my list of people and rarely send out requests anymore. I'd probably get rejected by the cool kids anyway.

Here...I will share something lame with you to mend your heart. You were the first of the "cool people from the forums" (the ones I consider the cool people anyways) to send me a FR and it made me really excited. So, because of that you will always be one of my super-favs!
