Re: Friend Requests

I tend to accept all friend requests, after all,even if I find I don't like them later, what harm can it do?
My profile shows that I have 25 friends, some never post, some I post with often and I have even shared my phone number with a few. There are also a few people that I consider to be friendly, but neither of us have ever thought of asking to be friends!
I have always found that I know who my real friends are...and some of them are not even on my friends list. Don't worry Adanac, only a fool would take offence if you ignored their request... because friend means nothing on a forum!

Re: Friend Requests

I find it amusing that when some men join, they just hit the friend button on all the females

Like why would I accept a friend request from someone Ive never even spoken to?

Re: Friend Requests

I always ignore friends requests, I don't join forums to make 'friends', once bitten twice shy.

Re: Friend Requests

I need to feel I know them from things they've posted before. I wouldn't send or accept friend requests from complete strangers. It doesn't mean I know them or even would want to meet them in real life though.

Re: Friend Requests

What??

Re: Friend Requests

You have a point. I regret any offence I may have caused in my shallow actions
I meant well, but historically the road to well is littered with good intentions.

Re: Friend Requests

Ouch spitty, there's more to life than just being right, I seem to remember being turned down by your good self when I was a newby in 2012.

Re: Friend Requests

I think that's because when men join, the existing female members seem to be the most friendly and chatty. I suppose they welcome newbies more than the men do.

Re: Friend Requests

We all know that forum friends are not necessarily real friends but I do think if I had a request refused, I would interact less with that person, particularly if they had been around for some time. Newbies, I can understand.

Re: Friend Requests

The friends system on here seems pretty pointless anyway, I don't see what purpose it has other than showing your "tribe", on places like facebook it makes more sense as you then see the other persons feed or chat to them easier. I am only friends with two people on here and that is just because I know them from elsewhere.
