Friend Requests

I have been shocked how many friend requests I've gotten lately. I'm guessing its the new year or I smell better, something.. Anyways my question is, Do you ever look at the profile and just think "nah, I don't think this person and I would get along" or "something about their picture and I don't jive" or "Uh, this chick looks freaking crazy?" and not approve the friend request. I hate to decline friend requests but there are some where I don't really want to approve either. Just wondering what the etiquette is considered on friend requests.

*also I have a bunch of people queued up in friend requests from the last few days, this doesn't pertain to you guys, sadly enough I've been lazy and not looked through them much!"

    I accept 99% and only decline those that from their profile I know won`t appreciate my unusual sense of humor.

    I rarely deny, though sometimes I accept and then if the person's posts don't jive with me, I delete quickly.

    I did once decline someone who included kind of an odd, generic message with her request and had more than 800 friends on her list. I don't have that many Facebook friends! I doubt she noticed.

    Hey, How come you never approved mine?!?! (Maybe because I never sent a friend request.... :P )

    But I just assume that if they saw me in the forums, they probably have an idea of what I'm like on my profile. Their choice to join me.

    Plus, I love the crazies, they make my feel better about myself. <3

    I love how guys ignore my "no guys" request.

    Guys lack the ability to read when looking at profile pictures.

    We've been friends a long time on this site and I've never wanted to delete you, the haters! I do wonder that as well. It's like meeting your ex when you post in the same topic as them on the board. I'm always like..hmm I wonder if they realized I deleted them or vice versa.

    A picture of your abs would result in more friend requests, but getting said abs is a whole new challenge lol

    It's all the resolutionists. I like to connect with all of my friends. It's a lot of (fun) work keeping tabs on everyone. (My friends know about my Q system...)

    I, personally, find it harder to delete someone later than decline their friend request initially.

    I don't get many of them, but I've accepted them all. There are a couple that I have considered removing, but am going to give it a couple of weeks first.
  • I don't get a whole lot, but I accept almost anyone, especially anyone with similar interests/goals. If you're into tractors, trucks, farm life, music, have a sense of humor, and are generally a positive person we will get along great.

    You and I seem to have a lot of mutual friends and I very much appreciate your sense of humor. I suspect others do, as well. :-)

    But I rarely send FRs myself. I like being pursued.
