excuse me? I don't believe I know you

No I dont but I do go to thier profile and look thru and read some of thier responses and post if it sounds like we have something in common I take them on as friend if not I dont. WHat annoys me if I take them as a friend and they start ending my oppertunitys that I aint interested in inPMs nope they do that they are gone!

Like you, I don't add people to my friends' list just because we get to share mutual friends, unless I know them personally or have requested for it myself. I even don't add "supposedly" relatives who are requesting to be my friends, because I have never met them in my life, but I know that they are indeed relatives of mine. I like to keep my circle familiar.

I'm afraid to say with 2700 friends.. I am not that picky.. although I will scrutinize someone who has no connections (ie. friends in common) A lot more carefully and even deny them.. I do ask and accept a lot of friendships.. it helps me network and I use the opportunity to show off my Zazzle products and i have made some pretty friendly relationships with people from all over the world.. it;s really not that bad. I am not a people person.. more of an animal person and most of the people i add are as well and we have something or another in common. So it is very easy to start up a conversation with them. I am not saying by any means that I talk to all 2700 - many I have added just for some Facebook games.. but It has garnered me a sale or two through Zazzle so I can't complain. They don't bother me and I don't bother them..

I can definitely say that I hate getting friend requests from random people who I don't know whatsoever. Unfortunately, at this point in my "life on Facebook", that's mostly all I ever get are friend requests from people who I really have no clue who they are. And frankly, I find it dumb and annoying. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I think it's akin to randomly picking out someone in a store, walking up to that person, and asking "Hey, wanna be friends?" Not quite the best way to go about it.

I have to agree with you. If i dont know you just dont ask to be my friend. I get friend requests from people who are friends with other friends of mine but i will not accept the request because i dont know them. I dont need someone i dont know looking at my info and photos. I just find people wanting to be my friend because they seem to know me or maybe someone i have deleted ask them to be my friend to find what ive been up to and be sneaky. Plain and simple if i dont know you dont send me a friend request.

I have many friend requests. I just ignored some because I don't know them. I also sent friend requests to those whom I believe that I knew but some didn't accept me either. So I cancelled my requests.

Well somecowgirl,i really don`t know whats bugging you.Of course none of us are really friends ,in the real sense of the word.we are only virtual friends and our world is cyberland and our country is Mylot.Our friendship is only limited to our responding to discussions and creating discussions.Since we all belong to different parts of the Earth there is hardly any chance for us to meet physically but we can meet 'cyberally' through our computers.On planet Mylot we are friends and we do meet each other occaisionally whenever we respond to each others discussions.We also get an opportunity to make new friends from all over the world,so i don`t see why you have any objections to this type of a friendship.Personally i don`t have any problem.Have a nice day.

I also do not accept friend's request from someone whom I haven't had any inter-action. I just ignore when someone send me a request and leave the request forgotten. If a person who sens request is a friend of my friend,but I don't know the person personally- I ask my friend about the person and ask pardon that I did not accept the request. have a good day jaiho®

If it is on Facebook, I don't accept friend requests even if we have a mutual friend. All of my friends in Facebook are my real life friends that I met and know personally. If it is on myLot, I can accept any friend requests. The more the merrier I guess.

In all social networking site's girls shows this kind of attitude as they received a lot of friend request... I also receive some annoying friend request too but they are not that much annoying to make a discussion here

There is a solution to that, put that person in block list. that way, even if they add you, they will automatically ignored.

i have to know them in real life to I get a lot of friend requests from people I don't know about 3 times a day I don't get how they find me on facebook, I think they think I'm somebody else, but It's still annoying,

Untill I don't have that experience over here. I depends to me what people mean by "friend". The word friend has a special meaning to me and before I will call someone my friend I must feel this is true (and mostly that needs a lot of time). If I only play online games I don't care adding "friends" for that. If I join a site to meet some people or make (real) friends I am picky too. If people request me I don't find it annoying. I only find it annoying if they want to date or so and that is not the reason why I joined somewhere. In that case it annoys me that they say they want to learn me better but are too lazy to read my profile first.

Ok you are right but dont abuse people openly,They just wanna know whether you will be a frnd to them or not.thats it!!

i don't add people who i don't know as well because it is a really scary world nowadays... you just can't trust people... simple as that... so if i don't know the person at all, i won't even bother to look at the friend request... especially if it is from facebook... take care and have a nice day...

I know what you mean but when it comes to Mylot, I do not have a problem being friends with anyone here. I like to have alot of friends because I get alot of discussions to reply to daily. Not all of my friends make dicsussions but some of them do even though they do not live in my area and i do not know them. Just saying. The only ones I find annoying, are the ones who post vulgar stuff, nasty things or want to spam me.

depends on where they are trying to friend you... here, while I'm kind of picky, I do accept people from all over - there are a few places/groups I don't accept any more because I've discovered their interests narrow and not any I'm interested in, so I keep the ones I have and don't accept any new ones...

I take it we connected through someone else you are connected with. Annoying requests to me are the ones that only want to connect so they can spam you in private email to try to gain referrals in this or that program. We all want referrals, but I will not sign up under someone who uses this tactic no matter how good the program sounds. Marsha

Yep. My friends on FB are my friends in "real" life - although there are a couple of exceptions. I have gotten a lot of these friend requests through one of my interests plus from my old college. I'm not interested in meeting people on FB - just communicating with people I already know. It doesn't really annoy me . . . I just "ignore" and forget about it.

Actually this is also normal to you. It says who you befriend just want you to know exactly who they know in real life or alone.
