Friend requests - Adding a note
Replies
-
If there's no note, I'm wondering why this random person is adding me so nope. No note = decline.0
-
I decline if the request is blank. If it's a hot woman in very little clothing I think about it for a while and then decline while kicking rocks.0

I don't care whether people write me a note or not. I don't understand the purpose of it. People add you because they want support. If they're just trying to get in your pants they aren't going to write in the note "I'm adding you because I want to get in your pants." If they have bad intentions, a note is NOT going to tell you that. I also don't care where they saw me on the forums. What difference does it make? If someone ends up being weird or creepy after I friend them, I just delete them. It's not that big of a deal.0

hold on.0 -
I really couldn't care less about those things. I add everyone, but if they piss me off I unfriend them.0
-
If there is no note, the profile is closed (so I can't read about what we may have in common), and if we have never interacted (or I don't remember) then I will usually decline.0

If the person doesn't have anything in common then they may be unhappy being my friend if they don't really know me. A note helps me understand if it could be an ok enough fit or not.0 -
I used to add anyone, but as my FL got bigger, I had to change that and ask for a note. If they don't include a note, they obviously didn't read my profile.0

I'm hard on my friends....like really hard on them....
I'm foulmouthed, I treat my newsfeed like facebook and I natter on and on and on and on....
trust me....you ARE better off giving me a note and letting me know why....
I decline all of those with no note, and some of those with a note I'll reach out and just make sure they understand what they are getting into...
some choose to stay....some choose to pretend they never heard of me....
so yeah...note please.0 -

Like many of you on here. I have a little thing on my profile that says, "Please leave a note if you want to add me as a friend." I get many friend requests and they NEVER have a note. Do you still add people who don't leave a note or do you decline?
Brb, believing that I am so important that i need a note, or personal recognition, in order to accept a new friend to the list.0 -

It has nothing to do with feeling important. I want to know where they saw me, did they relate to something I said or agree with my post? I just want to know what made someone add me. That note field is there for a reason.0

true story....my FL has a few Froot Loops, a Count Chocula, a couple Sugar Smacks (wiggles butt in the air), a Cheerio or too (thank god for cheerleaders)
and even some Shredded Wheat (for the fibre...and the shredded pics)

I don't have any "note requirement," but most, if not all, have put a note in there. Maybe force of habit.0
-
A note is nice, but not required. I add anyone who asks and have never had to remove anyone due to bad behavior. The more the merrier!:drinker:0

Actually, it is.I don't care whether people write me a note or not. I don't understand the purpose of it. People add you because they want support. If they're just trying to get in your pants they aren't going to write in the note "I'm adding you because I want to get in your pants." If they have bad intentions, a note is NOT going to tell you that. I also don't care where they saw me on the forums. What difference does it make?

Some of us actually like to be there for our friends and support them. Not me, I just like to make them laugh.
But some of us (like me) get upwards of 10-20 requests a day. I'm not a collector. I like to interact with my friends, not attain a magical number just to try and prove how popular I am.
If I accepted all the FRs I receive, I would have at LEAST triple the friends I do now. Likely more.
So yea, no note, no accept. If you can't even take the time to write "Hi" with your FR, I'm not even gonna bother.
But you go ahead and keep making assumptions. You seem to know everything about everyone.

agreed. but i can see why some peopel prefer a note with the request too.0 -
My request for a note is merely a test of literacy. If I get a request with no note, I assume they cannot read, and I am therefore better off without them.0
-
well stated, I agree, plus it only gets accepted if its interesting and catches attention, otherwise, return to the sea, lol0
-
I add them if I recognize them from a thread I just posted in, but it gets to the point where I have too many friends and it is difficult to provide support and those that leave notes are more likely to be mutually supportive.0

No note needed if it's other females. When it comes to males, I am more careful. If I get the impression you are going to add me and send me vulgar and explicit messages...no way. A comment or a joke is one thing, but some of the messages I have gotten are just downright graphic and degrading.0

This. Also if they don't put a note it means that they didn't read my profile, in which case I think they're probably just adding random people. I like to know what goals or ideas we might have in common. And yeah I could just delete them later but I seem to have some kind of mental block about that and I never actually manage to do it. :P0
