it is better to be deleted

I haven't come across this and can only take a guess that they are adding perhaps to capture more people for task suggestions. See sites like microworker and MTurk requires with some tasks that you have a set amount of people on your friend list in order to be able to complete some of the task. No doubt there maybe other reasons, but this is what comes to my mind because I have seen many tasks even here in myLot that can only be performed if you have x number of friends on your list. Can be promotional, for game suggestion and or just to be considered popular because they have large numbered listed friends. If I had the situation, I would remove the person off my list because I don't see the point of me listing them if we are not going to interact.

Hello bhabycatch! I personally have to agree with you. I don't also like having myself to communicate with them if they're like that. What's the point of a social networking website anyway if they themselves don't want to be introduced well!

It could be that someone without a wall has received too many stupid messages and did it for that reason. I don't even bother with my Facebook wall anymore--and rarely respond to it as a result. If someone really knows me, they'll send me a private message, or text or email me.

Hahahaha... i understand your frustration. i am not a frequent visitor of facebook or dont know its uses too much but yes, i do chat there with didi and others as i have less than 20 friends only. Add me... Shaibham parashar.... sorry, i have no picture even avatar too. lol have a nice day.

bhaby, Then why not deleted that person?...as simple as that. Why spoil your day thinking about it?...simply delete that person...period. tell me who's that pokemon

Hmm... I thought direct friends can see each other's profiles. I guess I am mistaken? Anyway, I think I have mine set to be seen by everyone... but then again, I don't have any personal info written there, nor any pictures so... (it doesn't even have my real name...) I am a very private person, see. And my fb was primarily made for old friends from an online game I used to play regularly. It was made during the time we were one-by-one becoming inactive from the game. So fb was our alternative way to get in touch. These are friends I do not know in RL. I realize that some people do not like this so I generally ask first if it is alright for them to add me even if they won't find any personal info on my fb. If they say they don't want to be friends on my fb, then I will completely understand. (Explains why I don't have many friends there, but it's ok with me. =P ) However, I do make it a point to interact still, whether it's commenting on statuses, or in messages and chat. It's really an individual's choice when it comes to privacy. And I guess it is also your choice if you'd much rather delete them because they are inaccesible or not interactive...

I dont have any fb friends like this. The only think that I wonder about it how have you met these people and why have you decided to ask them to friend you? I know at times I see that people would like to keep some things personal and not prefer to share everything, but from what I understand it that they dont show you anything about them at all? Maybe they are not certain who you are and would feel better if they knew why you sent the request. Besides that I would just say to un-friend them.

Maybe he/she is just collecting friends. I wonder why people like that - having so many "friends", some even up to more than 1,000. I have one friend whose wall I cannot see. Which is fine by me, because I was the one who gave him a friend request. If he was the one who requested, and I can't view his wall, I'd delete him.

It is all right for me if someone added me in his or her facebook but never allow me to access to their profiles. I am not so particular in their profiles as long as we can chat and work along to each other. We are just online friends only. On the other words, we are strangers to each other and we shall chat without any commitment. When we are comfortable to each other, then we should think about taking a step forward to understanding further. Allowing the other party to access to your profile in your facebook account should be one of the methods to understand and to share our personal life.

Hi bhabycatch.. I don't have those kind of friends. Before, my cousin blocked me because I'm stalking her with her girlfriend (yes, her girlfriend because she is a lesbian). But now, she already unblocked me so everything's okay now. Maybe you're not in real friends with them or they choose who can view their profile and you're not on the list. Silly friends you got there. Better to be deleted, I agree. You're friends with no purpose.

Yeah, it sucks when people are like that. But sometimes some people are really 'reclusive' (withdrawn etc.) and they just go to Facebook so they can keep an eye on others without anybody seeing them. Maybe that's the best way to be (if you're more like a 'social janitor/handyman/backstage-worker' than a common socialite) but those people should let 'the marketplace' make them that way instead of FORCING friends to stay out!

well maybe they just want to introduce their business to you but with privacy to their own activities.

hello bhabycatch! yes i do agree with you. What is the point of having friends in facebook yet you are not able to see his posts and his wall and his photos. That is so useless. I have gotten tired of facebook nd so I just log in once a week because i find it more fulfilling to learn and comment here in mylot than there :)

There are many probable reasons why other people tend to hide their walls or their pics private. I have this friend who also hide his pics (in which he's with the girl he's courting) because he doesn't want to be teased. Others just want to keep their private lives and choose only those close to their hearts. I think, you just have to respect their decisions and if you really can't bear this kind of situation, you have the freedom to delete them. It's up to you. :D

Well I think you should not wait till that friend delete you, just do the first move...delete him. There is no point to keep friendship with him if he does not even want to share and interact with you. So go and delete him for certainly that person does not consider you friend but just want you to add up number in his friends list. So why let him use you?

Hello there, I have been wondering same as you. Why hide under the profile when they want to add you, and you know what, they just send you the friend request without even sending a message. Had they, at least put up their own photo, we could have recognize or even thought about adding them, but nothing.

Hello Catch, It's been an irritating thing to me you know, these people, either i add them or add me, but when they are online, i don't even see them chatting with me. maybe i should start deleting those whom i really don't chat around, some of them were just crushes but they didn't seemed to care whether i respond to their walls or not. the only friends that i recognize now are the ones who never fails to "say hello to me" and how am i doing. technically, they're not friends but "friend adders" like something we got from friendster way way back have a nice day

Oh, I only saw this, I have a similar post. I can relate. I get annoyed, actually. Why reconnect with me, why add me, if their only purpose is so I can see their names in my friends list? I don't know if they are only after the number of people in their list. It is a social networking site, hello? There are a few people like that in my list, and it kind of annoys me since I don't feel like I'm a friend at all. That is the reason why I am looking for a different social networking site. They are my friends, at least an acquaintance, but I don't feel welcomed. You know what I did? I customized my settings so they wont see my wall or info either. The others can. :D

Well I know I have offended some by bluntly deleting them without even notifying them at first.And why should I bother to notify them when they haven't said a word since the first time they were in my page. I mean , what is the point of adding me to their list? So they can have more neighbors for their games ...well helllo at least a thank you would be sufficient isn't it.And not like I feel I am doing them a favor by having them in my list. What I have are interactive caring people in mylist and they are precious to them. The others , i delete ...hehehe.

Well to be honest I am guilty of that , there are times that I am being conscious of myself of what I am now then I just don't want to be ask about my occupation if I am unemployed. I don't know if I have encountered friends like that but then if I don't like the person I just delete or ignore his/her friends request.
