fb is an international social site and that if mars do exist they will purchase a copy of this 
to socialize with their nation mates
and because of its rampant users including me, many would ask you to be friend with them by sending friend's request. for now, i have lots of friend's request from alien people and with familiar friends or acquaintances. but for now, i choose whom to accept and whom not to for a reason that, some of those people may bother you (yes, they do) and sometimes may annoy you by sending you messages or even harass you by commenting out of the world comments on your posted pictures or statuses. i guess, i blocked but not more than five persons in my friend list.
so for now, i am not accepting friend's request from someone i barely know. what about you, do you just accept friend's request or just leave it hanging there from strangers? share it here please. thanks :)

oh yes, you have a point there ajith. it is better to know the person first before accepting their friend request. but most of the time, it does not happened like that, for someone is requesting or sending you a friend request even you barely know him or her. for now, i do not like accepting friends whom i do not know much. so thanks ajith for joining here :)

Hi missjahn, I don't accept people whom I don't at all as friend. All of my fb friends are offline people I know well 
We always keep in touch chatting or posting there or via mail 
I ignore the requests from alien people. Doing so at least can avoid from harass as well as undesirable disturbs. Further more I don't have much time to spend there.
Happy posting

hello lkboi
whew! so much as you do not have time for going there, the opposite of me when you will ask me. i guess, my day would cry if i cannot log in there. i do not know why facebook became the center of all people in the whole world.
i will get a little amaze how this people added someone like me whom they do not know as well. what do they after about it. its not the friendship totally but whatever are those reasons, we should be careful.
thanks for joining :)

if you are the regular user, then would say; i get myself addicted to fb 
. i posts pictures as if fb is my album. that is why, i do not know how to get rid of that social site for the memories i had were stocked there. nah, if fb will stop working, i will really shout in dismay because of the pictures i uploaded in there 
oh yeah, malicious intentions could be prevented only if we know how to refuse to people whom we do not know or familiar with. we should be careful. thanks for joining here :O) once again:)

No, I don't accept friend requests from people I barely know or just met. I usually just add up those requests from schoolmates, college friends, and work buddies. I'm not really active in facebook, I just do it for fun and to keep in touch with friends. But rarely do I post anything there.
I think it's always important to keep our identities safe, it's a social networking site, anyone could pretend to be your friend to just phis for information about you and the people you are friends with.
Have a great mylot experience ahead!

you are right there. we do not know all the people in facebook site. so we must be responsible not to be annoyed, bullied or whatsoever in there. what makes me when i accept their request or what makes me when i ignore them? what makes it different?
thanks for joining here and happy day to you as well. God bless!

you have to know the person before you can even think about accepting his friend request or vitally knowing him before or else it is great danger

you are right there. we need not to accept or add some person just to expand our friend's list. we must be careful of what might happen if we kept on continuing befriending strangers on facebook. one false move may lead down to great danger. so we must be careful.

anyway, everyone is entitled with each own rights and decisions. if you do not want to add them, leave you be. it is your right and not theirs and they cannot do anything to change it. but on the other hand, facebook is a good site to communicate with someone we know and to know their whereabouts. so that is why, i guess, we need to select whom to accept and need not to ignore our friends maybe one day, we will need them or they need us. so thanks for joining here :)

that's true... I have my right not to accept people that I don't like to see me. FB is to update where I am and activities I have done. Those are not my "friends" those are my co workers. I don't owe anything to them and I don't confide my troubles with them. They will just see and talk about me, so why will I make them happy of getting information about me. LOL.

I always choose the friends I accept at FB. There are however some requests that come from acquaintances which are hard to deny because they might think I am too snobbish so I just accept. But I always observe who among my friends are worth being hidden. There are those who posts senseless status and worse there those who are egocentric posting things just about anything or photos about themselves every now and then and so to avoid getting annoyed with useless and senseless posts, I just 'hide all' from particular friends.

there are posts from my friends that i do not like, so i hide it also. and i turned the notification off from a certain person depends on what kind of invitation he/she will notify or involve me. facebook has lots of features and you can set the settings based on your standard. so thanks for joining here ;O)

I like to keep it to as many people as I really know as possible and I know a lot of people, but I do have friends from other social sites that I have met along the way as well as people I play games with, mainly Farmville.

I have experienced when I accept all the friend request come to my facebook page. And you know what happen? I can not communicate with most of my new facebook friends because they only speak in their local language. I am expecting they will atleast communicate in english but they never. I unfriend many of them and decide to more slective in accepting friend request.

yes, it is really happening. some of the people do not know at least can speak basic english since it is a universal language and used to communicate globally. so where is the communication ever happened there. better if we can see them in person or at least in cam and make sign language haha! that is why it is really necessary for us to select whom friend's request to be accepted for a reason that, your page is being personalized and that at least you may know whom you talking to :)
thanks for joining here :O)

I'm definitely not accepting strangers as a friend on FB. I mean you don't know their intentions. Sometimes you might even add a stalker on your friend list and they will probably harass you in some ways. But then again, I probably won't add a certain person to my friend list. I know her but I never met her in real life. Let's just say adding her would make the family situation a little complex.

i hate that they will think that we are snobbish by this doing this way. i guess, it is one of the safety measures we tried to implement within ourselves because we cannot hold someone from doing a thing like harassing us (like what you said) or bothering us or even pester us. so let us be vigilant. thanks for joining here :)

i also received lots of friend requests. i am flattered that they want to be friends with me even if its only on facebook. what i do is i accept their request but i put them in acquiantance level because i can set my account on who can see my photos and posts. i can set my privacy to friends except acquaintance. in that way, private photos and post and only be seen by selected people.

it is alright if they can see my picture since they are my friend already that is why i trusted them. that is why, i need to choose whom to befriended with. yes, sharing would be nice that is why when i am posting albums or picture, it should be seen by them all to let them know my thoughts, activities and other schemes of my life. but then should be careful you, there are lots of craziness happen in multimedia recently all over the world. so the safeness of it all depends on you and being carefulness.

I just accept friend request even i dont know anything about them. I like to friend with a people around the world. Some of them nice and good, some of them rude and some of them sending message want me to like something. I think i have 3000 friend now.

wow that is plenty. before, i just accepted them but now, i need to trim it down. i do not want to add some people whom i do not know. i just do not like hehe... for me what is the use of adding lots when you are not interacting with each one. i want to be exclusive only. and that one thing also, they may harm or being rude at you. so i learned my lesson a lot.
thanks for sharing it here")

well i have been adding people whose profile said they were from the same collage as me. later on i was shocked to find that most of it was just a fake. some people purpously do it to annoy you and pester you but to some people the number of friends in facebook is a matter of prestige and so keep sending requests to random people all around the world. but whatever it is, why take chances? join the club, i add people only when i know them. just like road safety rules we need to have a set of our own social networking rules.... :)

oh yeah, right at that. we must be careful whom to add. you know in this world, naturally everyone is diverse from the others. and we do not know what are the things inside their minds. they may harm you at the end. so let us be careful. i guess i have friends which i blocked but it does not raise to the number of five yet.

i don't think all people who request are villains.i like more friends on facebook.Although he is a one who have bad purpose,i will accept him or her because of people on the internet just being a body who just could say some words.

For me, I try to keep most of my friends on facebook being those people that I do know in real life. However, I have started adding some people that I've met online from some of my different sites if I've been interacting with those people for a long time.
When it comes to people that will make friend requests to me that are people that I have never heard of, I will deny the friend request because I don't know what those people want from me.

I look at Facebook as more like 'Friends, Family & Fans"-book. Fans--to me, anyway--are people who want to know what you are doing (even-more than family might want to know).
What 'friending' someone essentially does: it feeds your status-updates to their news-pages (and feeds theirs to yours, unless they're just 'following' you ... I don't know how that works---I think there's a separate button you can enable that lets people follow you without your approval).
And of course, more fans = more potential discussion-visits/discussion-joiners!

oh yeah! you can customize whom would you like to see your status, pictures, posts etc. but i guess that is a plenty-of-works to do because you need to select and choose friends of yours in the list to do it.
ah - i understand you because you have works online. you need followers to be your referral. and its alright, i know you can handle such situation :O)

I used to accept anyone's friend request before and I don't care who they are. But, privacy has been so precious to me lately and I just realize how much risk I have put on accepting strangers' friend requests.
I've deleted my old FB and just made another one then I just added people whom I personally know! :)

haha.. too much work indeed but i guess it worth it all. haist - just next time around will be attentive and think a hundred times before doing the right thing to do. congrats to you that you do the task well. for me, i will think it first if i should make a new account or not. :) thanks

we have the same experience. but the thing is, my decisiveness to delete my account to make a new one to be exclusive will be stopped because i have lots of pictures in there. i do not know how to manage to transfer all of it in my new account. gee, that is a very hard thing to do and to decide it all. i hope i can find a way how to solve this little problem of mine. i guess, i need to think things twice or more to decide whether to delete and to make a new account or just leave it like this and just control whom to add or to accept.

I have also been receiving friend request from aliens on facebook as well. Some of these aliens does not even have a profile picture and thus they want to be your friend? Some people are full of silliness in their heads. Much more, I have got people that when you see them in town or any other places they pretend not to see you although they know you and then when you log on to facebook they have sent you a friend request. lol

oh yes! maybe they are too shy to approach you. but at least, even both of you do not talk with each other at least you already met and you have this idea who is this person. unlike if you really do not know the person and added you to become his friend. i learned from that and must take care next time

oh yeah. all of the invited friends are not playing too, so what is the essence of adding them all. i can name or point some members who do. so now, i am not playing no more, so no more adding. it is hard to identify good persons in there because everyday many users signing in and for sure, they are all diverse in personalities.
thanks once more, your avatar made me cry as well as i stare this smiley with tears in eyes. very big tears ahhahah
