Facebook Friends

Hello Well, I never accept friend request from stranger on Facebook. I only used facebook to stay connected with friends and family. So no strangers allowed in the list. We should be very very careful on accepting any unknown person's friend request on any social site. We used to share personal information on such sites so better it not get shared with some unknown people.

Hi kenshin, No, I do not confirm every friend requests from random people.I see to it that I know him/her before confirming.I choose friends in real life so I choose my friends even in social networking sites:)

I used to limit the people add on Facebook. They were either my relatives or former classmates and friends. Plus my first Facebook account was hacked and so I was really trying to keep my account as private as possible. But when I decided to put up an online shop via Facebook, I needed it to be known so adding up people was the best way to sell my products and services.

Well, I do not consider myself to be a person's Facebook-addicted, which is why, I do not spend most of my time attached to the social-network number 1 in the world! While remaining in keeping with your thread, I must say that I happen to accept friendships of people known to me and after me are proposed strangers who are also friends of friends. Until now I have always done that, but now I want to change strategy. In fact, I find myself in close friends many people totally unknown to me, so I do not have a minimum link even to say a simple "hello" to them. Ok close friends, too many unknown, however I do not like very much.

i can see that on my friend's list too. some of them just add people they know even if they are not too close, or some add strangers. as for me, if some people i know add me up on fb and we don't have any mutual friends, i would not confirm them and also i don't take time to add people around even though i know them personally and see them on fb. some people do add them, even though we are not that close, most of them don't really care about u or just would like to look at what's happening in your life. so these days i normally don't share or post a lot of personal stuff on statuses and also i don't put all important information on my profile as well. there has to be some limitations for the sake of privacy.

Hi kenshin, yes i find it very weird to confirm unknown friends in facebook too. Normally i do not accept or confirm unknown strangers as my friend, because just like you said, facebook contains our privacy information and not suitable to share them with strangers. I heard from my friends that if we simply confirm unknown friends will brings disadvantages to us. Since they are unknown strangers to us, and normally we post our photos on facebook, these strangers may misuse our photos for their benefit. Some may use them negatively and bring troubles to us. So, it is better to keep our facebook friends list to only those that we know. That is safer as well from unnecessary troubles.

Yes I add random people request to my Facebook account. I am an advid game player. If someone plays games and helps out by giving gifts and such. Than yes, I will.

I have a lot of people from all over the world on my friend list . Just like I do here on mylot . If the person fall in a certain age group as mine with a lot of photos I accept their friend request .

i try to avoid put my real information.. i mean the information about my family.. why we must put our family information very detailed in our social media?? it`s not useful..and sometimes it`s our blunder.. because of it, sometimes i accept any request from random people..

No, I personally do not accept friend request or even send friend request to people that I do not know. I too can never understand this, because like you have said this person would know everything about you and also your privacy is out for everyone to see on your wall. I think I've had some friends who add people just for games and such, but I still don't think that I could do that as I don't know these people and I like my privacy.

Yes, for my secondary account. But for my primary account I get more stricted. My secondary accounts have thousands of "friends".

Yes but only cause I might have needed some extra game players at the time, cause of the other friends on my list never playing games or the same ones I do. I just lessen the amount from time to time if I don't care for the way they play or just try to out win me every time, etc. Then it 's not fun if you have so many on your list who will win every game they play against you. For instance in Songpop I have a guy who wins everything every time cause he chooses such song genres as Pro Wrestling or Horror Themes and I'm just really not good with those and would rather guess regular normal types of songs I have heard before. I have deleted him cause I was bored with that type of game play cause he was never a personal friend.

The best thing to do, don't confirm the people that seems not familiar to you. For me, if I don't know the person, why should I indulge of adding them.

hahaha :D I don't.. I have lots of rejected people and now that subscribers is available, I have 600 of pending subs. I never wanted people on my list who I can't even remember how I met them. I have lots of friends who I just met online, but I can really say it's worth keeping connected with them.. It's a way of keeping my details safe. Especially now, many will just use you're photo or name or detail for humiliation and fraud. So better keep yourself away from strangers :) I have friends too, who are proud to have 4000 plus friends. But I dare them, to name me more than 10% but they can't.lol =)))

I rarely accept friend requests from total strangers. If I see friend requests from someone I don't recognize even talking with, I talk to them. If I find them okay as friends, I accept their requests. But only 3 of my some 160 Facebook friends was made this way. I am always looking for new friends but not desperate to raise my friends number by accepting strangers. I have seen some of my friends sending requests to everyone they see on their friend suggestion list, and always wondered how weird is that. Privacy is always a concern with that kind of behavior. I don't send friend request to anyone that I don't have the privilege to know yet, no matter how attractive or tempting they are to be friends with.

I don't anymore. Actually those that I did add that were not someone I know has been released..lol in other words are no longer on my list. The games they were connected to I no longer play. Now if I need to have so many people to play a game, I stop playing it. I don't feel it is fair that I have to have all these people to play a friggin game. Nope Not doing it anymore..

I have 3 friends who I don't know on my Facebook and they have limited access to see what I am up to. Those with too many friends in my eyes appear fake and also a little needy. I would say stick to accepting real friends and improving existing friendships as the real world is there to make new ones/

I used to add strangers in Facebook but that was the time I had few friends and contacts. Eventually I learned the dangers when adding strangers because they can have access to your photos, personal information and even friends. I've heard that they can use this to do identity theft or something. So eventually, I only add people that I know. Now I have almost a thousand friends and I know each and every one of them personally.
