Do you add strangers as friends , to your face book account ?

my facebook friends consist of relatives, friends, elementary, high school and college friends and schoolmates, and officemates. that's all. if i don't know you personally, or we don't have that much common friends, i won't accept your friend request. it's scary for me to add people that i do not know because i share some personal stuff on facebook. best to play it safe

Well, I add anyone in my facebook. Who ever they to request for friendship. I will add them because my aim in that social networking sites is to have more friends list...Because in the future I can able to promote products without any worries

No-i don't add people in facebook for the sake of numbers. I have few people in my lists whom i do not know personally,but a friend of my friend who asks to be added. And if my friend will say that yes add that person i know him/her and he/she want to be friend -then i accept the request. Just few-maybe 4 people in my lists.

Hi Manoj, If I know the person personally, I'll accept the request. Otherwise, I don't. My Facebook account is only meant for family and friends. I still want to keep my privacy. I don't want people that I don't personally know be updated with my life. And one way to do that is to not allow them by not accepting their request.

I only add people I know - actually, I only add my REAL friends, so even if I know someone but I really don't like him/her, I won't add him/her. I think this is the way facebook should work; also, I don't think sharing your private info with people you don't know is very wise.

Nope. And I don't really mind my friends count 'cause the more people I have, the more messy my news feed becomes. :P I also think it's safer to add just the people you know so you won't have any problems in your privacy and security. So, I just add the people I know whether personally or online. :)

Hi manojknair! I don't just add people that I don't know. I usually check first if we have friends in common because I usually get friend requests from people who went to the same school. If we have common friends, I might add them. Sometimes I don't add them at all even if we have common friends because... just because. Maybe because I just can't see some things in common between us other than our friends. For people who are totally strangers, I don't add them unless they have a message that they want to be neighbors or something in some games that I play there in Facebook. Cheers.

When I see a friend request, I always check to see if I know the person, or if we share a mutual friend. if not, I ignore the request. These days, I tend to get request from family members who are now discovering facebook or from long lost distant friends and since I have lived in three countries for years in all 3, I have lots of friends from all three.

All of my friends on facebook are people that I know and that I keep in contact with. I think it is funny that people have 500 or more friends. I'm pretty sure most of those people don't keep in contact with that many friends. My page is set to many privacy settings and people can't see how many friends I have anyways. So, I only add people that I know.

I will say that in the past i excepted people that i was unsure of who they are and i did not add people that i did not know.I have also deleted people recently that i do not have anything to do with and i have still got nearly 700 friends.I do not tend to go on there as much as i did.

More over people do it. Indeed face book is site only to develop friendship not for any other purpose. I have few friends to whom I know and are stranger for me. Although I am not using too much face book.

Hi Manojnair, I never add strangers to facebook. The recent news about misusing of others personal details. Most of the ids are fake and not trusty. So its better not to add strangers.

Yes, I do add them for games' purposes. I have a different account which is strictly for relatives and close friends. There are too many games posts that are posted everyday and I don't want to miss the posts of my relatives/friends.

No, I never add strangers. For security reasons, I don't think anyone should add strangers. They can find too much out- where you live, what school/work you go to, your family members, etc. Also, just the thought of someone looking through personal photos of me with my friends and family makes me uneasy. It's a lot more than they should know.

Yes, I have had many strangers asking me to be their friend on Facebook and I always accept them. I never give away any personal information though. They just get to know me by my user's name and we can form a good on-line relationship. If all they try to do is sell me things that I don't want, I will terminate the friendship though. I will buy of people, more so my friends, if it is something that I want or need. _Derek[b][/b]

Oh no, no no no. No way will I add or accept strangers to my facebook. I have all my family , relatives , close friends and some acquaintances, and so I must protect not only my account but also theirs by being very cautious of spammers and hackers. I don't keep numbers, I even delete ones that has been there stagnant in my page for so long that they don't even bother to return the favor when I reach out or just cliking I like . I have very few ones , and I am not so desperate to have a truckload of friends to show off or to expand facebook games I play. Really, I am quite intrigued how people can bond with a truckload of people on their list.

yeah sometimes i add an stranger to my account.Though i do not know them,i accept base on my instinct that maybe they will be a good friend of mine.If they were just there to be my critics or to be one of my friend..let it !In every action there is a reaction.

I mainly accept people I know weather their friends that i personally know, old classmates or internet friends from different sites as well as my daughters playgroup. I used to accept request from people I didn't know then end up deleteing them. I'm more caustous who I accept with all the viruses and hackes out there.

There are those who have their purpose of introducing their businesses and other on-line money making links and so they do not mind knowing who they accept as friend for as long their circle expands and their interaction get into active situation.

no, I don't add people who I don't know. It is dangerous..
