Comment here if you want more friends!!

There have been a lot of bots broadcasting Friend Requests, some of them with X-rated profile pics.
When receiving FRs, vet them by
seeing if they have a profile picture,
if their diary is open,
if they have other friends,
If they include a note in the request,
If they've ever posted anything

and if you change your mind after accepting a FR, you always have the option of deleting them.

I just want to leave a few hints for sending Friend Requests
Use a profile picture
Share your diary
Add some notes about yourself to your profile
Include a note (at least your first name) in the FR

For posting here looking for friends
It’s ok to specify the subset of friends you’re looking for

If you’re new to MFP, welcome, if not welcome back.

For those looking for active supporters, you can get good responses from daily posting status on your wall, or I find that you can get better, more specific feedback here in the community section.
