Do you decline friend requests if there is no message?
Do you send friend requests without adding a message?

I tend to decline requests without messages, and always send a message when I want to add somebody. Now I'm wondering what other people do.

    Sometimes I'll accept an FR without a message. It just depends. No profile pic or any info in their profile, I definitely decline. But if the person has a pic and a decent description of what their goals are, sometimes I'll add them, esp if they seem to need support.

    I always send a message with FR's, just because I think it's a way to connect with someone. Why bother being "friends" with someone on a board like this if you don't plan on having some type of connection, like support or friendship?

    I always add a least a brief not when sending. When receiving, I will generally accept, but may decline based on other factors.

    I rarely ever send them and I never accept them w/o a message.



    Who am I kidding, I rarely ever accept them either. The FR has to be oozing awesome for me to accept.

    If there's no message I'll ask all my amazing friends if they know them...after getting replies like "he has a small pen!s"..or "no their name is stupid don't add them" I decline.

    If there is a message...I usually accept.

    I rarely request people, but when I do I always send a message. I hardly ever accept a FR without a message. It's annoying to me. WTH do you want to be my "friend"? lol

    I accept almost all requests. Male or female I ask myself, "would you bang this person?". The answer is always yes but with varying degrees of alcohol consumption.

    I deny if there's no message. It implies that you didn't read my profile, which specifically asks to include a little message with your request. Every now and then, though, i'll let it slide if you're cute...lol

    I keep my profile public and I asked people to send a message with their FR to say what we have in common.
    If they do not send a message, I rarely accept.

    I will accept pretty much anyone. It's like being given permission to stalk them and I'm all for it! Then if they turn out to be a dirtbag, I drop 'em (or they drop me when they realize I'm actually incredibly boring).

    This! I've even surrounded my request for a message with asterisks and people still miss it?! I almost accepted a guy because he was cute, but then I thought maybe that's why he thought he could get away with no message, so I declined. Take that, cute guy!

    I do exactly the same as you. Decline if no message. Always send a message if I want to add someone.

    I always send a message and I now only accept FRs with messages.

    I used to accept FRs without a message, but found that most that did this were not overly active and often just friend collectors. I try to keep my friend list manageable so I can ensure that I interact with my friends.

    I send a message with a request I make but I don't really care if a FR comes with a message or not. I figure I can always go back and delete if I end up not liking someone that's added me.
