Do you add friends/approve friend requests from people you dont personally know?

Yeah. Im friends with a few people I havent met...Although we 'know' each other from a message board so they arent total strangers..Sometimes Ill just add random people..Not sure why I do that lol.

Herro jaypeesol Welcome to mylot. May you have the fantastic, educational experience I am enjoying at mylot. Looks like I am in the majority. I thought I was in the minority. I am very careful who I add to my family facebook. I have categories. Family, friends, Church and RV organization. If I do not know you, either past relationship or current relationship I will ignore you. I am even limiting friends. I am starting another facebook page for online friends, like mylot, etc. I only use my family facebook for communication, I do not play games. Prosperous mylotting

Of course not!.. the main reason I created my facebook account is to get hold of my friends, family member from a distance, and other long lost friend. But I do know some people who accepted friend request and even add other people whom they totally didn't know. I don't know their reason behind it, but its not a good thing though.

I'm playing a Facebook game named Sorority Life. In there, you must add your fellow SL members by being friends with them on Facebook. Whenever a member wanted to add me, they must leave me a message that they're from that game. No message means rejection of friend request. Also, if a friend of a friend wanted to add me, I must check their profile first and if I know them, I'd accept it and if not, they're sorry.

I used to accept all unknown friend requests, but stopped doing that this year,. It seems more and more identity theft happened on facebook, therefore I feel I have to protect my privacy and my data that might be stolen by another person that I didn't know. If the person really interested on adding me as their friends, they could send me message the reason to add me. Then I might approve their friend requests.

No, I normally don't accept people I don't know. But there were a few cases where I did. I usually check out their profile first before I accept them. I look at a few photos, their personal infos, and wall. Sometimes they look really HOT, but their photos are protected to only friends. In this case, I would just accept them to look at their photos HAHA!! However, at the end I usually delete them from my friend list again. I know it's bad, but some people do it. Some people's photos are just too attractive. It makes me wanna see more of their pictures or even get to know them. So basically I would say no, but under certain conditions, maybe yes.

I will add strangers to my Facebook account. As they sent me the friend request, it is my habit to approve to it. Although I don't know them now, but perhaps one day we will be good friends. Who knows?:) I love China

Yes, i do especially the ones with commun friends.... i try to have a big list...

hmm, i think it's okay to accept friend requests from friends of friends because they are your friends' friend so i don't think that would be harmful. but if you're the conservative and more cautious type, then just ignore them :D

I play online game in Facebook called YoVille. In that game you meet people and make friends. If the friend that sends me the invitation is from that game i add him but if i don't know personally the man then I don't add anyone. Ihave only friends in my friend list.

Yup~ As long as this guy isnt suspicious.. I could tell whether a person is a poser/fake. But I dont add people without a pic.

i don't add friend requests from people i don't know coz i think it's sort of invading one's privacy.i understand the fact that social networking are trendy nowadays,but beware of some scammers that will use this networking to sell something and worst is offer you indecent proposals..be educated..xoxo

It depends on if you are connected somehow. If it was someone random, I would not add them. However if it was a relative I have not yet met, but soon will, I would add them to get to know them. I also would accept people I remember from years ago. The only people I will not add are those who have no connection with me what so ever.

I did add/accept friends requests on facebook whom I never met before for the reason that i was playing almost all zynga games. Because for me to level up I need a lot of mafia members and or neighbors. But yes I also accepted other friend requests that are not related to zynga games, et al. like relative of my wife whom I only saw on facebook.

I have added many people I don't know personally for different purposes. Some are people that I have met online through my love of the TV show MOONLIGHT. Then I have a separate group of people I have added for game playing (mafia wars mostly) And later I added COLLIE people. I have Collies (dogs) and I discovered there are MANY many people out there that have very similar interests to mine. we share pictures of our dogs and puppies. we play lots of the same FB games. I currently have over 2000 friends and I would love to meet many of them personally.

I only accept friends that I wish to add and never those that are mentioned as having mutual friends even. I do however have a peep into the albums and 'walls'of whom I know though I don't add them as my friends and that would be the only involvement with them. And as far as strangers are concerned not even that.

No, I operate my company's page on facebook with nearly 2000 fans and as such I regularly get requests from people who think that makes them a personal friend of mine as well! I hope they are not offended when I ignore them but I use Facebook a lot on a personal level as I live in a different country to most of my family and friends, and I also use it to share photos and info about my kids, so I am very cautious about who I would add to give access to that content. It's important for everyone to review their facebook privacy settings regularly. The site now offers a high degree of control but not everyone uses it wisely!

In my case I just add and approve friend request which I know personally.I don't like being friends with strangers.Though there are times that a person will change their real name and they will use screen name instead.So in this case I have to take time scrolling their pictures just to make sure if I know them or not.

It depends on the site. For my Facebook account, I only add/accept people I know because the reason why I signed up there in the first place is to get in touch and stay connected with my friends. For other sites, like mylot, I add/accept anyone.

In my case all friends request sent to me are all accepted. But friends suggestions, I screen them and only the people I really knew will be added.
