    No, I don't accept a FR without a message. Can't do it. I somehow sparked your interest, so you tell me what did it for you. I don't even send a FR without a message either. A friend of mine does Mystery Friend Roulette. He lets us decide on if he should add them or not by how we feel that day. LoL.

    wow..........who would do such a thing? \m/

    I have heard of this guy...he is like an urban legend or something :wink:

    Urban legend? Or too afraid to make a decision on his own??? LOL :wink:
    Well, perhaps if people took the time to read the profile, maybe that person would take the time to care about the request :drinker: \m/

    How are they supposed to find the time to read a profile when they are sending requests to everybody they run across on a post? I think that his expectations are a little high! :tongue:

    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


    This ^^

    Nope, if they don't interact with me by sending a message, they're highly unlikely to interact with me much after we're friends either. I don't need to clutter up my news feed with useless friends like that. Quality not quantity!

    I will check their profile and usually if they don't fill anything out I won't accept. Or if they have 50 plus friends I wont add them! But if they have a good profile with goals and inspire me in a way then I will message them and see if I get a reply... SO you have to be the judge of that! Some people are shy and just need a little boost of confidence... And when you need help sometimes you don't know how to ask for help when you really want and need it!

    I do not accept them. I only want active people who take time to comment on my updates, changes, and diaries. If they can't even include a message with the initial invite then that doesn't bode well. But that is just me and no harm is meant.

    It really depends. I specifically requested a message be sent with the friend request: 95% of the time I generally get one. It's the 5% who completely ignore my request that can be a bit annoying, but it's certainly not a deal breaker. Either way, I'm taking a peek at your profile...only because I'm nosy. :wink:

    NONSENSE!!! Do you just randomly go up to a person and start following them around? I know some of my friends sniff butts, but still..

    I noticed so many profiles with a list of rules or demands for messages I decided to be a lemming and follow suit with my own list of rules on my profile. So far though my friends list is just people that have been grandfathered in.

    I guess I never really thought about it. I usually send a message when I request friends, simply because I like for people to know why I am requesting them, but I have to admit to being lazy at times and sending a FR w/out a msg. *shrugs* I usually accept FR's either way myself because I understand.

    I accept everyone, but if they are not here for the right reasons I can always delete.

    Yes if its a HOT GIRL! Them looking hot is message enuf! lmao! But any random looking people need to send messages..lol

    Actually i dont care. The message thing has gotten ridiculous. Esepcially if you have a private account. let's face it most guys are going to had a hot woman..lol. So to say hey I noticed you post what a wonderful personality may be true ...but they are looking at your bod. I am honest when i send a request..and not really trippin if they accept it or not!

    I think it is crazy not to accept for no message. I never write a message I just more mfp friends for encouragement and help. I don't know many people on here so I just request people and they accept. It is not that serious to me. I NEVER WRITE A MESSAGE

    Unless I know who it is w/o the message then no they have to send me a message to at least tell me why they friended me if they don't actually know me lol I agree with you .....there are far too many strange people that want to do you harm out there can't be too careful even online.

    I don't care either way. I've never understood why people care so much honestly. Same with constantly deleting people when they don't log in every day. I just. don't. get. it. I come here for support and to support others. That's it.
