When I first joined myspace I did it because I thought it would be a good way to meet new friends. I have meant and made a few friends there since I joined. Often times I would browse through people's profiles and when I found a person with like or similar interest as mine I would send them a friend invite. Some people accepted and some people did not which is fine by me. However, one time I sent a friend request out to someone and I got a message from them informing me that sending out friend request to people was rude! WHAT?!?!!!?

RUDE ??? Wow the nerve of some people ! What did they think was going to happen somewhere along the way by having a mySpace page up? That is most of the point of mySpace, to make connections some friendly some business but the idea is 'connections'. I think the person you were trying to make acquaintance with does not deserve any future attempts nor does that person deserve you . . . so move on and feel encouraged not thwarted if you did feel that way. sharing the light and happy holidays, Miss Erica Hidvegi, the Enlightenment_Advisor, B.A. Psych/M.A. Transpersonal Studies- Cnslng/Author, Artist, Photographer, Entrepreneur & Freelance extraordinaire

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either. I had to re-read the message to make sure I was reading it right! I had never heard anyone declare that an offer of friendship was rude before!

Did you get the message from that person you wanted to join mySpace or from mySpace itself? Some people do not like requests. It depends on whether you are their friend or someone you just decided to send the invitation to. I do not send out invitations to anything. I just put the link in my signature, or if I have a page with all my links then I put that link in my signature, plus the link to my blogs and web pages. This way they do not feel pressured or insulted or whatever they are feeling at the moment. I have not joined myspace yet. Isn't the one where if you are Canadian you can only join myspace.ca? Ah and me a non-hockey, hate cold person would rather join a generic myspace.com.

Hi suspenseful. I think you misunderstood my post dear. I did not invite anyone to join myspace. I as a member of myspace invited another member of myspace to my be my friend and they told me that was rude.

There are rude people everywhere, and you met one on myspace. I send out friend requests on a daily basis and have never had a negative comment. Don't let one person, who could have set their own profile to private, give you a bad feeling about being there... its good fun. And your page is great!

I would never send someone a message saying that it is rude to send a friend request. I just delete friend requests from people that I don't know. Many people get a lot of spam friend requests (I used to, before I went in and changed my privacy settings) and that gets really irritating. I know for me, it turned me off from getting friend requests from people that I don't already know. I joined MySpace to keep in touch with old friends and because a bunch of my family members have accounts. I didn't join to make new friends. But that is just me and my personal preference. Like I said, I would never attack someone for sending me a friend request.
