Title: Friend Requests on Facebook.
Post by: mishca09 on April 10, 2013, 07:48:00 PM
I always debate back and forth with myself if I should accept a friend request. They may be friends with my mutually friends, most of who I dont speak to on facebook at all but they do provide with me some mild entertainment through wall posts and such. I think "hey did I even like that kid, when I was in school? did I even talk to him/her?" ultimately though I  just ignore the friend request until it goes away.

Thats is ABSOLUTELY the was to do it. And even then you may regret a few. For the most part I enjoy the "friends" Ive chosen, if that changes I delete them. Only done it 3 times so far I think.

I have no desire to "connect" with people from high school.  Anyone I cared about then (a very limited number of people) I've kept in contact with.  Everyone else can jump off a cliff.

If I know who you are I'll say yes. If you spam, I hide you. I don't send requests though.

I have an imaginary presence on FB (a made up person) with over 500 friends.  I know none of them.  I can't even explain how I got them.  They all responded to requests that were suggested by FB.  It's pretty weird.  I check in every few days.

Decline all.

 Cousin: Did you get my facebook friend request?

 Me: Nope.

The cousins I talk to are already in my facebook friends. Pretty sure she knows I'm lying.

Don't care. She's a weirdo.

I had a Myspace account for a while and really got into customizing it, finding old friends, and playing those silly Mafia games, but I blew my wad there and never bothered with a Facebook account.

I too have a bogus page just so I can contact people that I no longer have numbers for.  I have 0 friends though as I forbid it.

I set it up so I could "Like" various commercial sites that occasionally offer discounts or coupons, and then while I was at it, I began adding friends.  I can't remember how or why it suggested these people, but I sent out a few requests and before I knew it, I had over 500.  Most of these were people requesting friendships from me.  Go figure.

My profile picture is an image of a prominent British actor, but somehow most Americans don't recognize him.  I've never had a single FB friend comment on it.
