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

It depends on who the mutual friend is. If it's someone I barely know, but let's say, is from church, that would give me more peace about adding him. If our mutual friend is someone who is not very trustworthy, then I wouldn't. Sometimes I accept requests and look up their profile, and if I have no idea of who they are, I delete them. End of problem :).

I would only accept the friend request if I had amnesia, and the attractive stranger was myself.

Hahaha. Well, I have done that before. I mean->I had lots of people on my friendlist-but at the end of the day-we have nothing in common. And -> we don't talk -> so, why I need a stranger like that on my friendlist?

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

I've actually....

sent friend requests to strangers, like twice, cause I thought they were really attractive. It was really impulsive.


But they both accepted and then we talked and laughed and we are still FB Amigos. ^_^



In general I don't accept because 99% is just spam.

If it's a guy he is probably selling something.
If it's a girl and she has 4,284 comments about her saying ''gurl u fine, hit me up'', then also no.

I'm not attracted to guys. o_o



OK, thanks for all the replies folks, and I've read them all. I really liked a few of them but didn't want to play favorites so I didn't hit the like button. :p

And I've decided that this person is a spammer. Its weird because she looks a lot like someone I am friends with here on CC and I almost accepted the request because I was sure it was her, BUT then I saw that the mutual friend was a relative and none of my family members know this site or even know that I am on it.

No, but they can get access to any personal info you might have on your account and maybe also your friend's and family's personal info.

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

Hmmm...personally I'd find it a bit passive. If a person only knows you on fb then its all about looks. If they want to find out more than they should meet you in person even by "accident". FB is a sissy way out. This is what young people don't get today.

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

Actually on CC, I really don't care who adds me as a friend. I mean, I do, but I don't, because they can't see personal information and my personal life like they can on Facebook.

But it has happened. And it's not something you can just get over.

Yeh but they haven't been molested by just adding friends. It's where they allow the friendship to go afterwards that leads to assault/molestation.

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

No. I am one of those people who have under 100 friends on fb. I will only add people I know and are in contact on a somewhat regular basis. I don't see much of a point allowing a stranger into my fb world.

I tend to do an edit ever so often, if it is a person who I don't talk to at all but know from school or whatever, i'll unfriend them. I guess I am a private person in some ways.

I guess few here realize how surprising and delightful it was for me to see an attractive young lady interested in becoming friends. For me its almost like a miracle. :p

Yep. I have about 60 I think lol it's amazing how small that list got after I realised God is real. It's also amazing how little a headache gets the smaller that list gets haha. I have a few friend requests waiting for a reply but I don't want to decline them so I don't hurt their feelings. And I don't want to befriend them cz they were part of a bad time of my life. So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place lol.

It might be different because you're a guy? I dunno. If an attractive guy stranger wanted to befriend me, the first thought running thru my mind was that he saw my profile picture and most likely doesn't have the best intentions. Its pretty sad that I default to that thought, but some guys are really shameless. Plus a girls' really got to be safe online. Its all about boundaries. Where as if a attractive girl befriending a guy may make the guy feel flattered.

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

I personally view FB almost like a house, you post personal things, thoughts, daily news, pictures and its like letting people into your house. And I don't normally let strangers into mine, attractive or not :p
