    Or if their profile picture was taken from above the top of their head.

    Profile pic is a must but I'm thinking its time to start being more selective

    FR that comes out of the blue, with no explanation or interaction on the forums or through a mutual friend = ignore.

    OUt of the blue no message attached requests get denied. Most of the time. If their profile is filled out and I think we would make decent friends I'll accept... a blank one won't fly. Nothing personal, just I'm a pretty awesome friend. I want the same :)

    I accept everyone! Come one, come all! If I was doing this for dating purposes, it would be a little different. I want to help support people in reaching their goals and make a few friends in the process!

    Maybe I'm just too old to appreciate the duck lips the way they should be lol

    I always accept, I honestly don't have that many friends or requests and I don't send out that many requests because I don't frequent the forums much but all my friends are nice so far, although I think half of them quit lol

    It does seem like a dating site at times :)

    I essentially accept all FR unless it is pretty obvious that they send out a ton of FR and don't interact much. The only other reason I would decline is if I really didn't like what they had to say in the forums and don't think we would get along.

    What determines if you accept or decline a FR????

    I usually accept any friend requests that have a profile photo, filled out profile, etc. Basically showing that they are active. I prefer to receive a message along with a FR (some people add me because they are doing Herbalife like me, we have similar goals, similar age, etc) but as long as they seem nice/active I'll generally accept even without a message.

    I deny when the above requirements aren't met, or if there is a crude message attached (which is rare).

    must have a profile pic, must interact occasionally, hate getting a FR and then the person never says a word, why bother.
    Also, if no reason why they decided to FR me, I will check out their profile if it looks like they just collect people I decline.

    I accept most of them.

    But once they're on the list if they're annoying I'll dump them. Nearly everyone gets a chance though. :smile:

    I accept all FR :) if they start to get weird afterwards, I just delete them. No harm no foul.

    I'm not everyone's cup of tea. I rarely accept FRs to protect the public at large. It's my way of giving back to the community.

    You're welcome.

    I won't accept FRs from people unless they include a funny or clever message with their request. That means they have read my profile and have actually done what I asked them to do -- SEND ME A FUNNY OR CLEVER REQUEST.

    But, I don't get too many FRs, because my "tell it like it is" attitude comes across as judgy, mean and caustic. Some people can appreciate that, others cannot. My FL is pretty small and inclusive, but high quality. Much like in real life, I prefer it that way.

    If it's someone I recognize autoaccept. If not I'm harder on women than male requests. I have to be assured that you can put up with me before I'll say yes. So many aren't ready.
