    Well....kinda...
    I don't normally send requests to people (no reason other than the fact that I am not as sociable on this site), but sometimes, while browsing the forums, I will read a post and notice someone's profile picture and feel compelled to visit their profile. I will read their about me section and if I like it, I might send a request. So, I don't really base my friend request on their profile picture alone, but sometimes it will intrigue me to visit their profile, and in very rare cases, lead me to FR them.

    i dont, of the few i have sent its mainly because of crossing paths on the boards,

    but saying that, i can understand a lot of reasons why people would and dont think its a wrong thing to do,

    Nope...but I do creep on profiles because of their pic :tongue:
    Pretty much this...

    If I add someone, it's because they have shared fitness goals and seem intelligent. Either that or they seem fun, have similar humor, and we had interaction on the boards or someone's wall.

    I don't tend to send friend requests... very very occasionally.. but usually based on something more important such as a similar like or something they wrote somewhere....
    But... I do sometimes decline friends requests based on the profile picture :o!

    This sounds perfectly me. I am going with it.

    I don't send FR based on pics as you can't tell if they're a worker or a whiner from their pic. If their "about me" info. is filled in I base FR on that or other friends suggestions. Only supportive worker bees on this FL - no time for whiners and boo-hoos.

    Nope and I ignore any friend request that doesn't come with an explanation as to why they want to add me. I also ignore 'hello cutie' PM's, you know who you are...

    Exactly, I add people who have similar goals or interests BECAUSE it's a fitness site, not people who just want to have 1,000 people on their friends list to perve at.

    I like my friend list small enough that I know who people are and what they're doing.

    I base my requests on if I think we are like minded people :-)

    I have, if I see someone( sex doesn't matter) that appears to be AT the direction I am headed, I will send a FR on occasion. As I might be able to learn something from them, that will help me achieve my goals.

    But I do not just send FR's out to any (what I would percieve to be) attractive females based on profile pics. I am married, and not here to "collect" hot women on my FL. I am here to better myself, and try and help others do the same.

    Well, I've only sent ONE friend request (my other friends sent them to me) because I'm a bit shy, but I sent it because I found the person to be inspiring and a hard worker. I need people that will kick me in the pants ;)

    Not at all, everyone I've sent friend invites to have had something to say on the message boards that interests me.

    No. Mine are usually based on forum posts. I either want people who crack me the hell up or who are super knowledgeable when it comes to fitness/nutrition.
