Do you add strangers as friends in your Facebook account?

I have seen people popping up so recently I just decided to delete some of them and I de-activated my account with about 700 friends on it I find it kinda useless to me I never see some of the people and I don't consider them really good friends anyway. It really is very unpersonal on facebook these days.

No, I only add those who I really know. I delete or ignore all strangers. Its foolish to add people you do not know. For what?

Hi. Theresaaiza. No, I hardly add anyone that I don't know onto Facebook. The only reason that I will add them is if they are a mutual friend of someone that I am friends with too. That is my only reason for adding them. If they decide to aggravate or bother me in a cruel way, I will just delete and block them from my friends list. End of the story.

I do not add anyone without a purpose. Most of the people on my friends list I do know somehow, but I've added a few I don't know because they help me with a specific game that I play on there (it's better to add strangers than to keep annoying my friends to play this game they don't have an interest in). Aside from game purposes, I will not add someone I don't know.

I do not use Facebook, but I use a similar site with name frype.com Yes I had added couple of strange people to my friends. It is the thing what we do here we too add unknown people, but there is opportunity to familiar them. I am always happy to make new friend not only here, but in real life too and It is not so hard to do. I remember before one month I and my classmates was traveling to one place and in one day we make more than 100 friends. It was something amazing when we familiar with one people group after some minutes we familiar with other people group and this groups familiar us to they friends etc. Take care, Have a nice day!

I don't add people on Facebook as friends unless I know them personally. Adding complete strangers whom you've never met can really invade your privacy. I think that some people on Facebook add strangers as friends because they don't want to look like they are being rude by ignoring them. They may also want to look "popular" because they have so many Facebook friends.

I have add strangers to my Facebook page. However, I have my setting set that they only see public information. Things like pictures, they cannot see those. I am planning to stop adding strangers to my personal page because I am hoping to start a group for my business. I will accept them their because I want to build my business.

I seldom add peopl to be one of my friends on my list. I check their profies first and if it oks so suspicious lik, there is nothing written on the profile, i usually decline. The best think is not to add people who you do not know and there are some instances that it automatically adds to your list. so, simply delete the name.

Hi theresaaiza, Facebook is a social networking site where you can meet people from around the world and if you donot add them how you would know about different cultures. Had I answered this discussion when you put it up then i would have said some yes but not all. But since then i have made another account to play farmville and i have added everyone who has sent me a add request. So i have about 2700 friends there. I hardly know anyone but i made a few friends there and yes Farm ville with so many friends going great.

most of the people i put on there are people I go to school with. I do sometimes but music singers and actresses on there. to keep up with who I am interested in. Just putting a stranger I usually. I have myspace as well, and I have more artists and stuff on there than friends.

Hi! I admit when I started out in facebook, I sort of added friends so that I can have more visits in pet society. I was so addicted to it and only a few friends play that game. In the long run, I stopped doing that and filtered my friends list. Right now, if I receive any requests from strangers I automatically decline it. Sometimes, even if we have mutual friends but I do not know the person that well, then I decline as well. Better safe than sorry!.

Yea i add strangers as friends in my Facebook account.I sent friend request to whom i know but when the other person sent me friend request,i accept them blindly though i don't know them.I have more than 500 friends in my account. I know few of the personally and few while chating and rest blindly accepted their request.I never ignore friends request rather i accept them.

I don't add anyone I don't know. I don't see a point of adding people you haven't heard about in your life.

No i don't you have your profile and some sort of about you that should have you friends and family should only knew. don't entertain people who you really don't know, they might as well know your thoughts and plans that you'll might post in your wall.

Nope Theresaaiza, I don't simply add any stranger to my Facebook account. It's true that there are always suggested friends in list waiting for the approval. I regret I had added a few earlier without knowing their background at all. It's still lucky that they are inactive members there. Since the adds they never turn up anymore I'm not an active member of fb site. Other than the few mentioned above I have around forty friends in my profile account. All of them are relatives and friends whom I know them well. I won't approve any new friend requests anymore unless they are people whom I'm familiar with. Happy posting and have a nice day

No, all of my friends on Facebook are my friends. I could tell you something about each one of them. When people request me and I don't know them I always tell them that this social forum is called Facebook not Acquaintancebook. If I don't know them they probably don't know me.

i do, but i check on her/his profile first. if i think he is for real i add them. especially if they came from my college friends but i never met them before.

I've never understood why peope would add someone that they don't know to their facebook, it's like having a stranger pry through all your personal stuff. I absolutely never do this, adding someone I don't know or someone I've only spoken to a few times...

No never I never accept the stranger as my friend I have only 10 persons as my friends in facebook that too from my college and relatives

I do add people on facebook I may not know but only for games and only the games I actually play. If someone sends me a friend request and I don't know them off the internet then they need to put how they know me or what game. I have met alot of nice, wonderful people doing this.
