Who do you add as friends on Facebook?

Well me too, I don't get the point, you add someone you don't know and u don't even communicate, what for? I only have my friends on Facebook, or someone I know at least through chat, or someone who knows my friends (but very rarely).

When adding friends on facebook, I only people who I actually have met and talked with face to face. I don't like to add people I don't know very well or have never met. My facebook is very personal, so I watch who I accept and decline.

Yes, this far I have done so - but it's mainly since I known them. I have some people that I've never met IRL, but since we've known each other for over 10 years from mailinglists and chats I consider them as my real friends. I have some on my lists that are siblings to friends or even cousins, some I've only want to school with for shorter times or are friends to my sister. I wouldn't say no to a person I have or have had a relationship with.

Haha girl, the world is already a dangerous place to live in without us knowingly adding more danger into our lives. Facebook is an too open concept for me to allow just anybody to see my life and my outlook towards life. It's open to the extent that it's scary. Therefore, I usually just add people who I have know personally for quite some time. Most of my friends on my friends list are people whom I know personally and are friends with. Some are close friends who I have lost touch with for many years and managed to contact via Facebook. However, usually when strangers try to add me, they will be faced with a rejection call. Lol. I don't like the idea of being in anybodys list just so they could increase their "popularity count". I agree with you that Quality is always better than Quantity. Havings real friends on our list who genuinely care for us is always much better than having a bunch of strangers on the list. A high friend count of people who we don't know is not a way to prove how likable or how popular we are. Just my 2 cents worth. Take care!

Well,all the peoples on my facebook are friends or peoples i've meet through other peoples,but i know them enough to have conversation with them or at least care about them.I however don't add peoples i don't know and the only reason they want to be my friends is because i am a girl and they can see pictures of me...right.Cause some guys do that.

I accept whoever adds me, because they have obviously added me for a purpose. However if they add me, and do not talk to me in the form of a comment or a message or something like that, then I just delete them because what is the point of them being on my contact list? The same concept of mine applies to other social networking sites such as myspace. I don't neccessarily feel that I need to meet the person in order to accept them, because it's just a social networking website, but I can see how people have that point of view.

I've only added family members so far. But I would be more than happy to add people I have known or at least went to school with. But I won't add anyone just for the sake of adding them, like I do on here. I just don't see the point.

I have used Facebook over the last year to reconnect with long lost family and friends. For the most part everyone on my friends list are people I know personally. It is a kind of personal site for me and I only like my friends to see whats going on anyway. It's not really about how many friends I have like on Myspace or something but I guess it depends on what purpose you have the site to begin with. I use Myspace to promote my music and encourage anyone to add me as a friend.

I Only add people I know in real life, or sometimes, I use facebook to shop (clothes and accessories) so I would add the seller so I have access to his/her latest news

I absolutly DO NOT accept everyone who asks for my friendship on Facebook! I think it is a great site for keeping in contact with people you know fairly well, actually, but not a really great site to GET TO KNOW people. I know personally I put a lot of personal things on my Facebook page, and really don't want just anyone looking a them. These days I am quite careful of what I do put on the site and MySpace, because I realize that nothing you put out there on the Web is truly private and that scares me a little...

Hi, I get people adding me and they don't know me but I don't accept. I have a few people who I accepted that I don't know but thought I knew. I have been thinking of removing them because what is the point? Now I check if I know them because they might be from my infant school who I forgot. I have so many photos of my kids on facebook I don't like strangers looking at my photos. Thanks for the reminder as I am going to look through my friends list and remove anyone I don't know now.

I have had some requests from people I do not know on Facebook. What I generally do is block them and deny their request. I have no desire to be a friend with some guy in the US I have never seen/met. I think about the fact that I have a lot of personal stuff posted on my profile and I also think about who is viewing it. My profile is on very limited view to everyone who is not my friend, so they need to become my friend to see everything. Sometimes I will put a person on a limited profile view even though they are in my friends list, for example, my mother. I don't want her to see every detail about my life. As far as this site goes, (MYLOT), I think it is a different situation, because your profile does not contain such personal information, plus you are engaging in discussions and the more people that read them, the better (in my opinion).

I do add people, but not to increase my count number. But once you add them i guess you can talk and become friends hehe,I add freinds-of-friends a lot of time.But then the it's kinda messy also with lots of friends hehe.

I mostly add close friends, maybe class mates, since I am in college it'll be easier to communicate instead of setting up times to meet face to face. I also add online friends if I know them well enough. I don't have a lot of friends, nor do I care to have the most friends either. It's really rather idiotic to add people you don't even know.

the onyl thing i have to say is to least shoot me a msg or something , because some people add u as a friend and have nothing to say , they exepct YOU to TALK to them and they requested YOU ? ! very weird and strange i must day it really doesnt make any senese to me , Y would u add me as a friend and not having anything to say . and not even on facebook lol IN REAL LIFE its a even worse senario,

I don;t simply add anyone that ask for friend request in facebook , friendster or even here in myLot. In facebook I add only people I know. Most of them are my school friends of the same year or even seniors or juniors, church friends, relatives. I don't like to add people I don't know.

I totally agree with you. I only accept people I know. It is a numbers game with some people. But if you do not talk to them or know them it's like what is the point in sharing your information with them. But I totally hear you on that one.

I never add someone I don't know or haven't met before. I never understood those people why people just add people without knowing them just for the sake of having a higher number of friends

I definitely make sure that I know that person before I add them, I've gotten requests from lots of weird people before and rejected them. It's usually those who just add everyone in their network, so half the time I go on and see that I don't even vaguely recognize the person, so what's the point of adding them? I do however sometimes add people whom I don't know, because they're part of an online store group and I need to be able to see their profiles to check out the items they're selling, thus I need to add them.

i will add someone i know and accept everyone who wants to make friends with me^^
