    I always send a message, and I accept either way.
    BUT THEN..
    Then I don't know if, when they send a message w/ request, if I should reply to their message with a message or write on their page or just accept.
    And then I overthink it.
    And then I panic about coming off as a jerk.

    If they send without a message they get ignored. If I request someone I send a message.

    Decline: no msg; any variation of "friends, journey, weightloss, encourage, support each other" blah blah blah lame.

    Accept: killer hot guys, smoking hot girls, msg containing any variation of the following: "you're hot, the rougher the better, I'm a girl, lets lez out, I drink too much, sure, go ahead - touch it, toaster strudels are the best, want to see a pic of my cat in my bushes"

    i don't usually send... I have too many as is.

    i usually decline ones without a message, because I can't accept everyone and still give enough luv to the ones i have.

    I keep ones with a message, and will sometimes add right away, will sometimes hang on until someone deletes my *kitten* and then add.

    lol - I've thought WAY too much about this.

    I'm beginning to think I *may* not be using MFP for its intended purpose anymore.....

    What if the message says "Let's be friends and encourage each other to lez out and continue our journey with toaster strudels because weight loss because cats" ?

    I haven't sent a FR in months...but at first I added everyone! My FR list isn't too big and I like to keep it that way. Its easier for me to be supportive if I can comment on everyone I have on my list. BUT if I get a FR I accept with or without a message BUT only after looking through their profile.

    I used to accept without a message, but my friends list got too big for me to deal with. Now it is a requirement, but not necessarily a guarantee of acceptance. I like to keep my list to people that I actually actively communicate with, that appreciate my sense of humor (read as- "perversion"). If someone sends a message with their friend request that is indicative of our compatibility, I will accept.

    You will be getting a friend request when I figure out how to put that I want to lick you in the message in a non creeper way. I'm working on it, give me a few minutes.

    I am clearly in the minority here. I accept all friend requests with or without messages. I don't care why you want to have me on your MFP feed. I've had to oust a few for bad behavior, but that's easy enough to do.

    I guess I am in the minority as well... The act of "sending a friend request" is self explanatory... It says I want to be friends... I do send a message when I send a request but I don't need a message to accept... There is a delete button and if it comes to it there is a block button as well... Which thankfully I have never had to use...
