Do You Accept Friend Requests Even From Someone You Don't Really Know?

my goal have the account of facebook is add friends from anywhere, so why me should limit the friends just to who friends already know? it's seems will not be fun and not in accordance purpose of facebook itself as a site social networking

My uncle once told me that a stranger is the friend you don't know. So for me I accept all requests for friendship.

Here in Mylot, yes. I do accept a friend request but I analyze first the profile of that person. Before I do accept without reviewing the request, but now I am being careful because there are many trolls everywhere and some are just using that request to gain invites or to have referrals. In social sites, I do not accept a friend request from people I don’t know. Like in Facebook. Actually I am not active on that social site. I am more active here. I do not accept because I do write some personal thoughts in my social sites I just want my dear friends to read it.

not always, i check first if they are within mutual friends and send them short message before i accept their invites (if i'm not sure when i met them), it better to be careful than to have annoying spammers..

in facebook i never invite people i don't know or have not spoken to! most of the time i've so many mutual friends with the person who has sent me the invite but i simply don't know the guy so i don't accept! :) they can access your photos and stuff so its better not to accept them!

Well the truth is I only add friends that I have made in the real world or at least faces that I have seen. I'm not really that interested to make my facebook as a new friend finder site rather just a social site for me and the friends I know. Sometimes I also got added by people I don't know then I'll just check out our mutual friends just like you do but lately there seems to be empty accounts starting to add people randomly. I wonder it had anything to do scams or ptsu.

I Do accept invites from facebook provided we have mutual friends.

No I dont accept friend request from anyone, I like to know who I am accepting. Though I dont keep in contact with all of the people that are my friends but I have known them and is nice to see what they are upto nowadays. I do check to see if we ahev mutual friends and depending on who the mutual friends are depends if I accept or not. There was one person that I have added from a game we play but that is so we can send each other gifts and help each other out. I dont want just anyone knowing what I am upto.

OK-I have one facebook friend. I met this person in RL. My bf had sent me a friend invite a long time ago, but I didn't know it until yesterday because I hardly go to facebook, and I'm mad at the one friend I have because she won't even call my cell phone, and she's in the same profession as me. Basically, she is the reason I signed up for facebook. Now, she wants me to visit her freakin' farm? I thought I was the only one to get invites from complete strangers. I get friend requests from the latin americas, and some old guy. Wtf! It's weird. For security, I didn't put my real first name. That is why it is even more surprising.

Hi Kourdapya, I am very careful in accepting friends in facebook. I make sure that i know them. If they are referred by friends i check their profile first if it's posted but if not i don't accept the invitation. i am scared.

I do not get any FR in facebook and i do not accept strangers in there as well...I rarely visit that site though...once in a blue moon maybe.however i do send FR to strangers in mylot....i just visited your profile and stumbled upon $exy Megan Fox's pic and it doesnt allow me to add a comment as you're not my friend .great day.

Yes, I do. I think it's cool to add someone you don't know to expand my circle of friends. I have added someone I don't know and we have a great communication. You can learn from them and you might even meet them personally.

well... i only accept facebook friend requests from strangers if it's for the purpose of having more sorority sisters in the game sorority life game. but i list them in one category. cheers and happy myLotting!

I used to for certain games, but not any more. I have got rid of all the applications and all the 'friends' who are not known to me.

i have the same thinking as you do. i do not just accept friend requests from just somebody i do not personally know. i have to check if we have some mutual friends first.

I don’t usually accept friendship requests from people I don’t know because I don’t see the point. A lady requested my friendship because we happen to share the same name which I thought was strange...I ignored the request. I’ve had some with a message in another language and some along with spam which I’ve also ignored.

I will not add totally stranger to my friend list in FB. I only add people who I ever meet and talk with. I don't really want to have many friend but I don't know them very well or just know them online. I have many friend request but I need to check it it before it add.

Yes,because some of them are referred by my friends so they are added as my friends too. So even if I don't know them personally and they want to add me as their friend I would accept them.

I don't accept especially if they are totally stranger no matter how many mutual friends we have. Some people in facebook make friends for some reason: 1. for networking 2. to accumulate friends ( maybe they have quoa) 3. just for the heck of it. I could have more than 1,000 friends now if I'll add them up. Friends in my facebook are chosen few. They became part of my life. So we have something to discuss in common through our status and link.

yeah, i accept all friend request... i do sort out my friends in FB, like if we are from the same company, the same school, the same place or if we are good friends.. i group them together.. i usually check mutual friends before accepting them though.. coz they could be from the same place where i am from or an old friend i dont remember.. lol
