Do you accept friend request even if you don't know them?

i understand you^^ me i accept usually^^ i like to meet new people^^ even more if are from other countries^^ like asian ones^^ i love asia and always wanted to have asian friends so^^ online is a good way^^ also i like to be sweet to people and meet new friends ^^ so i accept^^ but isnt to have a big number of friends^^ i dont care for how many i have^^ what matters is if they are sweet or not^^ and is ok that you just want people you know added in yours^^

hi tess__quinain but with so many people here and someone whom you may or may not have responded to his or her discussion, how can you know anyone? I mean sure people you are frineds with off the net, but until I responded to your posts and o ther I had never met you but I think you are on my friends list here. and how can you send a message to a mylotter u nless they are already on your friends list?As I see it the only way I have known any of my friends here is by responding to their posts and thenm responding to my posts.Yes I have as I cannot see what harm they care going to do me? reach out and grab me by the throat through my monitor? I think not.I also care about the p eople on mylot list but to me a lot of newbies come asking and I check their profile and they have only five friends, I feel sorry for them and they are going full tilt in mylotting? How can I turn them down? We all need friends. I haVE MORE friends than I can easily handle because I am soft hearted so Ijave added them. but if they have not had any action here after six or more moths I delete them as the names are just taking

i don't usually. I have a group on Facebook and I will allow anyone to join that, but as far as these people being on my personal page, i just prefer not to

I'm with you, if I don't know them, or have a vague recollection of them from wherever I know them from I don't accept them as friends. It would be the same with e-mail, if I don't know you then I'm not going to give you my information. I like Facebook because I've been able to connect with friends that I long forgot about, it also gives others the chance to find me. All of the friends on my list I could call and they we could have a conversation.

Absolutely NO. I set my facebook account to a private mode. I meant, I will not accept every friends request, especially a person I don't know. I also set my wall, so not all of my friends can write on my wall. But they still can drop me a message. For a couple year facebook had steal my privacy. Happily now facebook have an option to hide our info.

No, I don't accept someone I dont know On my facebook :)

At the beginning i've accepted many persons and man am i sorry i've done this. It was because i've played some games and with more friends you did get more point. The games are boring and now you are setup with loads of unknown friends. To remove them you need to remove them piece by piece. With 4000 "friends" you can immagine how long this will take. My advice if you like Facebook for social network then only accept friends you realy know. When you are playing games on facebook then its best to accept them all. BUT, with selecting them all you can also get a lot of spam in your inbox from "friends" who like to get more traffic to there website. Hope this story helps others not to make the same misstakes i've made. Robin

Yes, I always accept a friend on social sites even if I don't know them. Unless they are heavilly into something I have no interest in like gambling etc. Then there's no point as I don't gamble and never will. Otherwise, everybody I meet for the first time in unknown, and the objective is to get to know people. _Derek

Hey Tess! On facebook I dont accept anyone I dont know. Unless they leave a message with the request that they are interested in my jewelry or are a friend of a friend. On MyLot, I accept everyone. Im interested in reading and responding to their discussions. I also get alot of great advice from fellow myLotters. Facebook is filled with drama. People cussing each other out. I dont want to be part of that. Happy MyLotting dl

I don't accept all friend requests but I will accept requests from strangers who play the one game I play on facebook. I have about 40 friends who started out as strangers and who I only accepted because of the game. Since we started playing together we have become friends, which is a nice thing as far as I am concerned because they are all very nice.

Actually i kinda do. Well, maybe i was able to do that because i don't view my myLot account as a very personal account and even the stuff i put on my profile aren't very personal either. So i am pretty open to anyone who would love to be friends with me because i don't think there's anything wrong with it. But i guess it all depends on your own preference after all. Unless, it is a site like Facebook or something, only then would i not accept friend requests from people i don't know. :)

I used to not to accept friend request from strangers,until when I begun mylotting. It's quite intresting to see the opinions and discussions of others. I just accept friend request from strangers here in mylot,but with my other social networking accounts,I'm very careful in accepting requests. Have to know them personally or should be refered by close friends and family members to accept those requests.

Yes! I agree. I also don't add people I personally know or have met. But if it's a friend of my friend and we met but I don't know her/him that much but a name, then I' add them. Some people add people even if they don't know who the person is, they add them just so you can say that they have many friends.

no i don't because there are lots of people who use fictitious name and load somebody else picture. there are a lot of people here that pretends and are very smart with their sugar-coated bait to lure you in accepting them. always remember that these are the wolves in sheep's clothing...practice your judgment skills before adding someone you don't personally know especially in facebook. (in excess: btw, please add me)

i know what you mean, sometimes i would add and sometimes i won't. if i do add them and feel disrespected by them in anyway i would delete.

I do but i check out their discussions on here to make sure their not really perverted or something. On facebook i also accept friend request from people i don't know, if they know a lot of people i do or write me a nice message why i showed be friends with them.

here in mylot? i don't. even if i see that they're newbies, doesn't really matter. even with my other online accounts, i don't check first or ask forst if we do know each other. i don't see the logic of some social networking users. they joined the site, expected or tendency is that people would invite them. i guess it's not necessary to ask why or if you're friends considering you're in a social networking site. anyway, you the control what to post or not on your page. you can even delete the user after if the person is intruding or something..

As far as I am concerned, I think I usually enjoy making friends online,which can be a so enjoyable thing for me now. Though making money is important for me at the monet, it will be so good for me to make some good friends online at the same time. As we all know that before we are friends, we do not know each other. But with so long time together, we become knowing each other and enjoy the friendship so much.Wish you can enjoy your friendship so much.

You have a point of view in your reaction. There's a quote saying "You can call it a friend if you know him/her but if not then it is not a friend It's so called acquaintance". Usually people in internet they usually mistakenly use Friend and Acquaintance. I've been saying lots of people in internet usually said that hi friend toinks! eventhough they dont know that individual. Yes for me I will not accept those people whom I did not know. But I have this group namely "Friends", "Acquaintance" and "I DONT KNOW". I usually put then in the "I DONT KNOW" group whom those people I dont know.

I feel very sensitive to people browsing my information that I would like disclosed only to my "friends." Unless I can immediately identify and appreciate them by their name and small icon, I ignore the request. I like to relate my facebook profile to an example like this: I'm sharing some of the photos I have on my camera, when some random guy that I once saw roaming the halls of my high school years appears out of nowhere, and looks through every single picture. Not Cool.
