Do you confirm friend request from a stranger?

I have two FB accounts. I accept friend requests from strangers in my second FB account but I keep my real one for my family and relatives only - it's like a privacy thing.

Hi friend, yes i will confirm strangers as my friends in fb, since we are in virtual world and don't have the ability to see each other. We can extend our online friends by accepting this kind of random requests, we will make good friendship with other country persons by doing this

I don't. I wonder if they're stalkers and their accounts on Facebook are fake. I'd rather send friend request to those whom I want to be friends with, those who have unique and real Facebook accounts using my real account.

Hello IAmNena, when I get friend request from an unknown peron, at first I visit his profile and look whether there is any mutual friends or not. If there is no mutual friend I will just reject the request .

I used to during when I was still using friendster that is, my mind setting before was, the more friends I have on friendster the better so not only did I accept friend requests, but I also send friend requests to random strangers. But when I started to use facebook, I started to become more reluctant on who I want to add on my friend list. I still accepted my friends from friendster who have sent a friend request on facebook, but to this day, when I receive a friend request I immediately check there profile and check how are we connected, if we have the same interests, if we belong to the same group, and some other stuff before I accept. I don't really like looking at my home page to have alot of "unnecessary" post. There could be important updates that need attention.

I will never confirm a stranger. Before I decide to confirm or ignore, I will check 1st if we both have mutual friends,, if not, I will never confrim them.

No, I don't accept friends from strangers. I only use facebook to connect with people that I know. But I do like facebook. Its my only social networking site now.

i sometimes accept friend requests from strangers on facebook but not all the time it depends on the person..if we have mutual friends that are known to me then i can approve them..also i check on their profile, if i can see they are just kind of nonsense and has few friends i don't also accept or approve them because i don't really know them..

In China, we use Renren, a social network site just like Facebook. If there is a friend request from someone, I can know how many common friends we have in renren. So confirming or refusing is up to whether we have common friends. If we are related by somebody, I will confirm the request because I have a sense of security in that case.

Sometimes I do. I usually look into their profiles, and their friends list to ensure myself they are in way connected to my mother, whom for reasons I won't get into here, have broke off all communication to. Other than that I usually do. A lot of times I'm looking for friends that play the apps I'm into at that current time, so a lot of people on my facebook friends I don't know in real life, but have became close to online. As for facebook telling us not to accept requests from friends we don't know, I think they're hypocrites. Seriously they allow apps on there that require insane numbers of friends playing that game regularly to advance, and allow other sites, such as forums that promote posting "add mes" for game apps to connect to facebook accounts.

No, if he/she is someone that i don't really know. I accept some which are my friends on some forum or some players on online game which i play.

I never used to accept requests from people I don't know...in fact I would regularly go through my friend's list and delete people I didn't even talk to, even if I did know them. However, as of late I've been playing facebook games, and it's prudent to add people because when you do you get more bonuses and benefits. As well, for some reason several friends of friends have been adding me, and even though I don't know them my friends do, so it's like, I don't want to be rude? I'll probably end up deleting them later though, after we don't talk for a while.

Well, I accept friend requests from strangers. Upon accepting, I message the stranger who sent me a friend request and ask them "Why did you add me?" and if they tell me "Just because" or something similar, I delete them.

Yes I do. I always accept every friend request, because I play a lot of games, and it is most likely a friend who wants to play the games with me.
