What are your standards for a friend request? Both in sending and receiving them.

    I really don't send them often at all. I'm too afraid of rejection(such a dork)
    I won't accept them unless they have a message

    It's pretty widely known that it's polite to include a message



    And also for the love of gravy why the hell do you request somebody you won't interact with? This irritates me.

    I've never sent one. I have received a couple, but ended up declining. I kind of regret not accepting the requests since I end up in the forums all day anyway.

    I'm very hippie-dippy when it comes to accepting friends. If you want my friendship, you got it. No need to discriminate! That's why I have so many, and I may have to get choosy some day. But for now, I accept everyone.

    When I request friendships (very rare), I always send a message.

    I like to have an introduction in their request. If there isn't one, I will look at their profile to try and figure out who they are and why they may want to be my friend.

    Sending- I always send it with a message! Where I saw them, why I want to be their friend.
    I expect the same :D I hate getting blank friend requests from people I've never seen =/ I always feel so bad rejecting :(

    I rarely send them and I'll accept anyone who sends me a request. I'm not that picky :tongue:

    I’m with VeganGal84. I always accept every friend request. I only send them if I feel I have something to contribute.

    I used to have a limit, but amazingly I've learned if you are kinda brash, crude, and have a semi-juvenile sense of humor you lose friends on a pretty common pace! Then I realized you can never have too many kick azz friends. My only requirement is only that I don't think you are a tool.

    I don't have standards. Just don't be creepy & I'll accept and support you :smile:

    Okay, and maybe if you're only slightly creepy with a touch of amusing, I'll support you too.....

    There are standards? We are still on MFP right? Or did MFP change into a junior high or high school?

    I accept and send freely. Most of the time I try to send with a message if they ask for it, but it's usually just about something I read in their profile or they mentioned on a topic. Nonetheless, I hope we are all here for similar motives (to get fit), so.... in my eyes... EVERYONE IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY:)

    I rarely send them...I'm naughty on my wall. If I send one, that's assuming they're OK with that, which would be rude of me. I may be vulgar, but I'm not rude. At least if I receive one, whether they read my warning or not, I can't be blamed for something they get offended by.

    As for accepting, it really depends on a lot of factors. Who your friends are (I won't be a mutual friend of a few users), what your message said, are you a regular forum poster...that sort of thing.

    I will not be collected.

    I only accept them if folks include a message and on that same note when I send friend reguests I always include a short message.
