Re: If an attractive stranger requests your friendship on facebook should you accept

It depends. It depends on who the mutual friend is, it depends on why they want to be friends with me, etc. Usually if I haven't even heard of them or I don't care, I won't accept it. I do have a few friends on Facebook that I've never met (they're friends/relatives of my parents, "knew me when I was little", etc.), but it doesn't matter to me whether they're attractive or not. If I don't know them, I hesitate in adding them and I usually ask around a bit, first.

Not that it matters too much. I don't get on Facebook that much, it usually irritates me.

I normally don't add them initially. I will normally respond with a message asking if I know them, giving them an opportunity to explain why they sent it.

I'm probably one of only 3 people left in the modern world who isn't on FB and doesn't intend to be.


Wow. This makes it sound REALLY tempting though.

Think of all the fake, attractive people I could be accepting friendship requests from!!!

I may have to reconsider!!

Re: If an attractive stranger requests your friendship on facebook should you accept

I got rid of facebook awhile back, but I never added anyone I didn't know nor would I have added a stranger. I figure if it's someone that knows another person that I knew, they could put more effort in getting to know me.

I only kept people on fb that I actually regularly talked with. I find that most people are just nosey and those you don't know well are often a different person online than offline. I found it to be a waste of time, but to each their own.

I have made many good friends by accepting requests on facebook. nothing is wrong with it.

The CIA arent going to come into your house and take your job because you accepted a pretty girls friend request.

Trust me.

Then why would the CIA come to my house and take my job? Honestly, they can have it. The NSA on the other hand… I'm not giving those people anything! Except my job, they can have that too. Oh, and my phones records. I guess that means text messages too, doesn't it?




I'm gonna have to rethink this whole thing.

Re: If an attractive stranger requests your friendship on facebook should you accept

This makes me want to go friend request random people on fb and see what happens! bwahahaha!

 

[Shouryu]

That is very close minded.

You have to be a stranger to someone before you meet them, no matter what the setting is that you meet them.

You have a right to your opinion.

I have a right to my privacy.

No one has the right to be connected to me on Facebook.

The fact that you issued a judgement based off of one minute, highly unimportant detail of my life indicates to me that you might indeed be an expert in close-mindedness.

I knew those catfish were up to no good with their little freaky whiskers.

A "catfish" is a person who creates fake personal profiles on social media sites -- pretending to be someone more outwardly appealing than his/her true self, by using someone else's pictures and false biographical information. These "catfish" usually intend to trick an unsuspecting person or persons into falling in love with them.

There's hundreds if not thousands of people who do this... so NO. I will not accept a stranger's friend request.

Re: If an attractive stranger requests your friendship on facebook should you accept

I usually accept any ones friend request. Sometimes its a spammer but its usually pretty clear to me. (if they ask me to go to a website or give me there phone number right off the bat, It seems like spam to me anyway)

Sometimes its just a random add and we never really chat.

Re: If an attractive stranger requests your friendship on facebook should you accept

I could definitely see why you wouldn't want to add a random friend. It could be be letting them have access to your friends, and it may even give there profile some creditably if you have them on your list.

There seems no reason why not.
Just make sure it is a real fellow with real files and real profile and not after badness and if he was then you can delete him as a contact and "de friend " him.

I just closed my account but may reopen it.
I had no friends but then received two friend invites.
First one was no picture on profile and the other of a handsome army officer.
Ofcourse after I had accepted the first one that had been pending for long time the other profile no longer wanted the add and the invite had gone.
Also it may be bad for some one to have links with pornography files which one of the profiles had.
Or if some one wants add me as friend and sees the only one friend i have has no profile picture and load woman contacts and pornography then he may no longer want add me as contact.

I waited weeks before responding then thought "i add them both".
I was sceptic to adding the one with no picture also because there was pornography files/pictures linked with his profile but then again I argued causes and reasons.
.
One should not judge to easily but one should choose add friend request good for and to you.
One may think if he had pornographic files and loads of woman maybe he was no good intent with be friending me.


I may join face book again with new profile name but was aufly lonely there.
frozen out and isolated and tried socialising but nada.
Finally receive friend request and I mess it up and end up deleting account.
I should of accepted one profile only.

My account was real pictures and no cat fishing but when the other profile has no pictures and heard sometimes files are stolen or tampered with.
Heard some have plastic surgery to look like someone and steal from them and heard all kinds stories so one must be careful.


I may try face book again.
So far not gained any thing from it in forms of social net working.

Where does one go on face book to connect with some one?

I tried the word "chat" and search but ...not had much luck with face book.

I think you should add a contact and you can always remove him if you do not approve of something or he cheated on profile.

Trust me.

I have a colleague who was late to work one morning *just* last month because federal investigators were at her door wanting to question her on a Facebook friend that she barely knew, it was just a random friend invite she accepted years ago.

I haven't used Facebook since my college days, but for me it would be important to discern who I chose to publicly advertise as a friend or acquaintance. It might make me an unhip curmudgeon to even care, but I've seen a lot of reputations destroyed unintentionally, people lose out on jobs, passed up on promotions, targets of gossip, etc because of their online activity.

 

[Powemm]

I dont close myself off from friends requests.. i think of all the really interesting people ive met on here and friendships i would have missed had i not accepted a friendship request.. There were only a couple i unfortunately had to stop talking too due to onappropriateness.. Other than that its been great meeting new people

Re: If an attractive stranger requests your friendship on facebook should you accept

Yeah, but even on CC, I'm wary of people who request me as a friend and only have one or no posts. I don't accept them. Otherwise, I generally have no issue with it (on CC).

 

[blueorchidjd]

Hellooo, I must say your friends and colleagues have strange things that go on in their lives! LOL

Re: If an attractive stranger requests your friendship on facebook should you accept

i have gotten random strangers requests and i defy just flat out deny...and ppl that i have at least one person in common with i message and ask who they are and why they are requesting to be my friend if haven't met me....then either they respond with an acceptable reason or they are a super creeper and ignore you and i delete their request...but i never just add someone i dont know...

 

[xXErraticEmilyXx]

I answered "other" because "heck no." wasn't on the list. Only add people that you have met in real life... even those people can be creepy though...
