Do you screen your friend requests?

I never accept friend requests. I'm shy.0

I don't deny, I just don't accept, like facebook.
Also no no-pics, or anyone too old or too young. People a lot taller then me I don't accept cause I feel intimidated, and really short ones scare me. Girls with dark hair I don't really like, unless its dyed dark then, I'll accept them. Same goes for redheads, but I usually accept blonds, unless its bleached. I don't think I have any room in my friends list for someone with a beard or mustache, men included. If you're a regular girl with glasses, I will accept because you look smart, but if you're a smart girl withOUT glasses, you might not make the cut. Sometimes when there aren't many people to talk to online, I accept just for someone to talk to, then the next day I delete. Usually weekends I accept everyone , because Sunday is a church day, and a day of acceptance and forgiveness. Nobody with the same name as me, or who would look like they'd have the same as me. Nobody within the same province.If you live on a coast near the ocean, that gets me jealous so I don't want friends postin fun, beach pics makin me wish i was them. I don't really like jeans, as i find them too tight in the pockets. That's not really an issue when it comes to me accepting people, but may be relevant when someone is thinking of accepting me.
thats basically it, otherwise I accept everyone.
Oh, and no psychics.
LMFAO0 -
I decline those without a message - it's obvious that they didn't read my profile. Also, i'm not a friend *kitten*. I don't amass friends just to have a huge group. I never thought about getting "references" for lack of a better term, from my friends. My friends are crazy, pervy, slutty and maybe just slightly insane. I like them that way.
If you want to friend me, send me a request - with a message.
Cheers!

i've found that i do now. i'll go through their friends list to see if we have anyone in common. unless i've seen them around the threads and it's more of a "why are we not friends yet??" situation. even at that i have a strange wall.0
-
I don't accept requests any longer. I search them out and take them if I want them, lol.
There have only been two people I've made exceptions for.0 -
I accept anyone willing to accept me, I have yet to have a problem with anyone0

What exactly do you say to a stranger that you "friend" in a message?
This message thing is a fairly new phenomenon here for I guess the sudden influx of trolls has gotten more people into it.0 -

I Love this!0 -
I would hope that anyone wanting to be my friend would have a reason to do so; perhaps they liked something I had posted, or lived nearby or was in a similar state of health. They would certainly check out my profile and therefore see that I only accept requests from people who leave a message and preferably have something to say on their profile.
So, no, I don't accept empty requests :-)0 -
Nah, I don't need much attention from my friends so as long as they understand that I suck at being supportive of them, then we're good. I delete regularly people who stop logging in or who just never interact whatsoever....in other words, I never get a sense of who they are.0
-
If there is no pic and no info, than no I don't. My husband's first ex wife keeps stalking me and his last ex throughout the internet trying to get back with him and find out where he lives. I like to see a picture of who is trying to be my friend, just to be on the safe side.
As far as messages go, I prefer a message, but if I post in a thread and someone responds to me, and than friends me, I'll accept the request.0 -
I have always accepted all friend requests. I love it when they put a message in the request, those are my favorite new friends but I accept all. And I also don't go around deleting friends. What's the point?
I have LOTS of friends now because of this, but only about 20 or so who I actually interact with daily. And that's okay with me.0 -
I screen to a point, knowing that if I accept a friend request that turns out to be someone completely different than I thought they were, I can delete them from my list. I also don't seek or accept friend requests from men because I'm married and that's a personal boundary I have for myself.0
-
YES
I don't want to be collected by some random dude with only hot females as friends.
****NOT saying I'm hot, and NOT saying I'm all that.
But for goodness sake, a message with the request please.0 -
Wow, I never realized the MFP friends list was so intense, haha. I accept whoever because you never know why they requested. Maybe they are inspired by you. You can always delete them later, no big deal.
I think it's funny how crazy people act over these lists.0 -
I don't. I figure if they are crazy enough to request me as a friend, they are as crazy as I am.
Binary...you were my FIRST friend!!!
Actually I have made one requirement...all new friends have to post something pervy or offensive on my wall, just so we are on an even playing field.
Also...boomboom011...I sent a request in hope of being deleted in record time.0 -
I screen0
-
I've had job interviews less stressful than the damn friend requests on here.
I don't request very often because I get my feelings hurt if I'm rejected. Even cyber rejection is painful :sad:0 -
I screen, if their profile is private, I'll accept, but if I don't like what they are posting, they get axed pretty quickly.0
-
i dont care i am here to support others and have them support me so i accept anyone BUT if i dont see them bothering with me and stuff i might delete them if i need space otherwise not too worried lol0
