    yes I love this....I get friend request that are blank and Im like ok...why are you befriending me....so I look at the profile to see if they are at least similar to me or have similar goals...and nothing...no info and sometimes not even a picture...I'm not gonna say that you have to send your friend request a certain way, you can do it however you like. But if you are sending me one I will not accept them like that. But I like to have just a few close peeps on here anyway that I can focus on and talk to on a regular basis. I just don't have time to be the supporter I should be to a lot of people. anyway.......

    no picture and no info? What kind of friend would they be that they don't take the 5 minutes it takes to upload some photos and say a little bit about themselves?

    I never leave a message. I figure people who are getting my friend request on a website about weightloss will clue in that I'm probably just hoping for some extra support. Didn't realize it had to be any more than that.

    1) ALWAYS message them how you found them and why you wanna be their friend
    2) have something on your page about you, more details the merrier
    3) have at least a few photos, preferably ones that look like they belong on a fitness website and are fitness related (before/after, running, etc), not a facebook profile


    how NOT to have a successful friend request: have a profile with ONE photo of a hot girl and have NOTHING on your page describing you whatsoever but have dozens or hundreds of friends. Ya, like I really believe you're real.

    Your photo isn't fitness related. Fail.


    :laugh: I agree! not really following his own (Requirements)

    maybe because some people have creeper stalker ex's and would rather NOT post their pic on the net to be preserved for all of eternity?
    If somebody requires to know what I look like to be my 'friend' then I don't need them as a friend in the first place.
    i want friends because we have common interests...not because they like what I look like.

    I wouldn't add someone if they were a honey badger. They just never care when I need them to.

    Tempted, but then if he accepts I'd have to delete him. And that'd be awkward.

    I love the idea of #1. Often I will receive a request and have no idea how I am connected to the personl.

    so agree - common interests, not pictures are what we should be showing... privacy first! a little common info is ok - leave out the exact details - a message is always nice

    Hey, you forgot one!

    #4. If you aren't going to leave your diary open, don't even bother sending me a request. How am I supposed to know how to be supportive of you when I can't tell what you are doing!?!?! For all I know you could be eating chips and candy all day and still be under your calorie goal. Do you honestly expect me to say 'nice job' when I can't even see what you ate? I don't know about you, but I don't have ESP :tongue:

    Dude, your 'about me' is private. Contradict much? :)
