Creepy
Okay, so I got a friend request today from some random guy I have never seen or heard of before. No message, just a request. His profile is private. I have to admit-I am totally creeped out! I KNOW this has happened to many of you and am really curious as to how others handle it.

If I dont see any introduction I just delete it..Im here for quality not quantity!0

Well what i think is creepy is when older guys like 60 send a request saying you are hot....sheesh....creepy!!!! I'm only like 18!0
-
It's not necessarily anything to be worried about. I get a lot of those too. Men & women, all ages with no note attached. Just decline or block them if it makes you feel uncomfortable.0
-
Yeah, you can decline requests. There are lots of guys on the site who just collect pretty girls in their friends list. I ignore them or delete them if I find out that's their MO.
It's your account! Only let people in who you want there.

I usually don't worry about it. I give people the benefit of the doubt until they prove me wrong.0

Kinda glad I have a kitty as my profile picture, the creeps usually leave me alone!0

Totally agree with you!Well what i think is creepy is when older guys like 60 send a request saying you are hot....sheesh....creepy!!!! I'm only like 18!0 -
You should be able to send a message asking why or just ignore it. 0
-
Yeah I get those too. I just delete them. No thanks, not interested, and definately creeped out by this!0

I get added by a lot of people, in fact more than 9 out of 10 of my friends add me. I guess it's just my picture, but I don't mind. I hope to help as many people as I can. If you add me I will criticize though, but it's for your own good :P0

the majority of friend request i get don't have messages with it. i guess it is kind of weird not to have a message, but it really doesn't creep me out
When i send a request i always send a message with it so that's good because if i didn't people would think i am a creeper lol0 -
Just add him... us creepy guys need love too!0

Totally agree! It's so easy to delete or block if you need to afterward. 0 -
I figured a picture of me shooting something might deter those requests, but they don't haha
I just add them, I don't care. The more the merrier! 0 -
Eek, I've been known to send friend requests without a message, I've just no idea what to say without sounding creepy! Haha... 0
-
Just ignore them and stay focused on your goals. Society has enough creeps - your community here should be one you are comfortable with and feel good about.0
-
I will not accept friend requests unless they provide a reason or their profile is open and I see we have a lot in common.0

Yeah in general...they dont creep me out..just what i stated above....but i do kind wish some people would put up a picture and fill out their profile...that kinda creeps me out seeing a little white bald thing in a blue shirt staring at me saying "I haven't filled this out yet."0 -

Me too! Sometimes I write a message, sometimes I don't know what to say. I usually request friends after I've read something in a post from them that I really like or agree with. Maybe he just liked something you had to say.
I don't like to decline new friends. You never know what gem you're going to discover. Total strangers have been able to motivate me beyond belief here on MFP. That said, not every person on this earth is going to be a "gem" in everyone's eyes. But it's totally simple to "unfriend" (or even report) someone who says or does something inappropriate.0 -
if i posted something and they are like me, a vegan i go ahead and accept there, something, if ive seen their name before. i have excepted a request, looked at their profile, and if they are creepy or just didnt seem like a good fit, i deleted them right afterwards.0

I get a lot of requests that I change mine to that.

i guess it does look creepy if you have no idea who it is and they're requesting you. however, i don't feel comfortable posting my picture on a public site i guess so that might be why some people don't post a picture up.0 -
