    Yup!

    Just don't acknowledge them at all - delete all friend requests, unless it's accompanied by a genuine message from someone looking for proper buddy support :-)

    Sadly yes, plenty of muppets see this site as a cheap version of match.com

    delete the requests and report any crude behaviour

    YES! It helps if you change your profile pic to a cute kitty or something along those lines. :) Ever since I changed I haven't had one creeper try to add me. And keeping your profile set to private so only your friends can see also helps if you do have personal pics of yourself.

    Yes, unfortunately I ended up feeling like I had to delete my profile (even though I blocked the user and reported them). I don't mind accepting friend requests, but I am certainly not trying to befriend anyone on here anymore. I pretty much don't trust anyone on the internet at this point, you just never know what kind of crazy is behind the screen.

    *edited to say that I did the kitty pic thing for a bit which def seemed to work, and also set my profile and diary so only friends can see (at least I think I did), crap I need to go check now!

    Ugh, yes. I will be friendly and talk to anyone, but when they just met me and start getting weird and inappropriate, I just delete/ignore them.

    a neanderthal woman brandishing a spear has a similar effect

    The web sites are littered with people with dishonourable intentions, and when you think about what they aim to achieve they obviously have a close proximity to your area ( easy reach), and will go to real effort to get what they want.. Working in the mental health sector I get to see many people with varied social skills and to be honest a lot of it is really due to being mentally unwell and/or having a very poor up bring by the parents and their efforts to educate their children to a socially acceptable standard, with a good environment.... All you can do is hope that your life experiences give you the skills to trust your judgement in choosing your friends and only time will show where a good friendship will lead to.. “if in doubt, keep them out”.

    So people that do not fit your definition of not a freak or perv had a poor upbringing. I let those that friend me know I am and can be inappropriate and there are no hard feelings, (PUN INTENDED), if they say no thank you. I respect their boundaries and beliefs. I do not delete people because of a belief or something I think is outside of my beliefs as I want knowledge beyond my life experiences. What I have found is some of the people that are cast out have great hearts and care about mankind they just have things that the masses find unacceptable....

    JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED.....

    I've noticed that women from the UK are generally prudes. Maybe that's more the issue? You control your friend list so just delete instead of getting all self righteous.

    because, of course, all UK women are identical in their beliefs, attitudes and values.... we're all just like the queen and sip tea in the afternoon with our little pinky fingers poking out saying "we are not amused!" at the first whiff of a joke...
