Friend requests from members you haven't read...

I've had one such request recently, it strikes me as unusual, the lady in question seems reasonable and isn't a spammer, but I have never seen any of her posts up until the request. I don't see any harm - unless anybody can demonstrate otherwise. But I'm not going to ask her, "So, why do you want to be my friend?"



Any pro's/con's? Does it matter?

 

I dont think it matters its what you want to do...

some people just send requests to almost everyone..
i guess they feel having many friend make them look better.

I am not the best person to answer this as very very rarely i will send requests
maybe because i think what if the other person dont want, and only add me just trying to be nice ..
if i remember well i think i send only one

 

I guess she likes your posts, be happy to have a fan!

 

i still don't see the value of the friends list...we don't have private messaging...although i do wish that only people on a person's friend list would have access to their contact information...i get random people that i don't know sending me yahoo messages...at one point i completely cleared my friend list because i don't need to have 50 people listed to appear as though i am popular...it serves no purpose for me unless it gives a person in the future control over who can pm and/or contact them...i rarely even look at the requests...some people take it much more seriously...at one time i viewed it as a way to let someone know that you would like to connect with them or show interest...

 

There aren't any pros or cons to accepting or not accepting someone's friend request.

Not sure if Webbie has something in mind regarding the friend list or not (that you'll have to ask him), but about the only advantage that I've found is that it's easier to check someone's profile (for contact info) if they're on your friend list but don't post very much. But, that's just me.

 

I would love to contact the people whom I have on the friends list. It would be a waste if they do not contact me. A friend would contact and if not remove since there is no point in a non-respondent "friend".

 

Lipstick,I had one member who IM'ed me and he does not contribute to the board. While I have no qualms of African men,I want a person who lives in Europe and could hook me up with WW in his area not one who lives in his country.

 

be careful soulthinker...he may have just been flirting with you:smt079

 

LOL

I have been flirted one time by a gay woman and I totaly did not get it until she left.... and all of my friends new what her talking was about LOL


ok


I don´t friend people who don´t have post on this site.
At least I would like to know what type of people they are before I ad them to my friend list.
It would be great, if it would be possible to leave a personal meassage with the request and an answer why I don´t want to makes friends.

I also find people try to conntact me over yahoo without telling me why they want to be in my Yahoo friends list. I think that at least u should tell why u want to get to know someone or at least ( when u contact over yahoo) where u come from .

 

Friend them and if they don't work out un-friend them later.

 

LOL

 

Yeah, some dude hit me up on Y!M the other night...he says: "Hi," that's it. So I say: "who are you?" His response: "I got your sname off wwbm." I say: "Ok." I would've investigated further but I was busy. His wwbm handle is nowhere to be found, so that leaves me to believe that he was on that low key. Had a picture of himself and all, they way it happened made me question if I was giving off some type of vibe on profile, so you know I had to check it lol. But don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem talking to any male on this site, but I do have a problem with when anybody I don't know personally just IM's me/pops up without announced who they are, I had to ask him, and still don't feel he was forthcoming. That's just some weird shit right there.
