First I check the profile, then I click on "mutual friends" (on MySpace). 9 out of 10 times, I don't accept them as friends.
ESPECIALLY guys who use phrases like, "Wanna holla at you", "Yo shorty", "Yo Ma"... you get the picture. confused

One time I got a guy who was half my age, but that wasn't the problem- it was the gang signs and references, him smoking a blunt in his pix, and the guns and pix of things like "Scarface". rolleyes
Uh... DID YOU NOT LOOK AT MY PAGE BEFORE YOU DECIDED TO SEND THAT REQUEST, DUMBASS?! mad

Now I only have friends and relatives as friends.



That sounds weird, doesn´t it? lol

I received a lot of friendship requests in the past couple of weeks but I don´t really know who those people are. Sometimes I ask a "mutual friend" for more info but, if they don´t even know who that person might be even though the person happens to be on their friends list, then I simply ignore them.
Sorry, least thing they could do is send me some info about who they are and why they want me to add them.
I don´t want random strangers who never even orgnoted me before on my "friends" list,that would feel strange and I don´t want strangers to know too many details that are not meant for them to know.

I feel the same way and try to keep only close friends. It's not to offend anyone, but I don't like to share everything with everyone.

I agree with only adding people you are close with.

I noticed the other day that this person I went to school with, must of had their account hacked or something. They had 2,500 friends and they were from random places all over the world. I figured somebody must of hacked their account or the got a virus. There is know way somebody would know this many people and especially from all over the world. I bet this dude has never left his home town. lol I didn't know this person that well from school to ask. Has anybody else seen this?

I've got a few fellow orgers on the 'book. razz Took me a while to identify them as such, though. Glad to have them around with daily Prince updates and such. I assume it's because I added myself as a fan to the .org fan page on there. Do I mind? Nah. Now I have had ppl add me randomly and I didn't know who they were. They wanted to hook up for sexin' or just randomly add people they assume are cool. Then, you've got people who somehow find out you're using certain apps like Farmville or Cafeworld who only add you to put on their friends list. I really don't like that 'cause it's not that serious to have people to add.

I kinda got over that whole "accept anybody" thing during my Myspace hayday. I felt silly having 300 friends and only knowing about maybe 40 of them. I began deleting like crazy and eventually left. I started over a year later and I only have three friends--people I know.

As for Prince fans with no affiliation to this site, it's kinda iffy. Considering what usually happens (we talk for a bit, share comments) it's not that bad. It's when they come in droves and we end up just wasting space that it's a problem. Sooo..I suppose I'm on the fence with this one.

I used to be a "friend" collector, until it really got out of hand. I ended up going from 196 friends down to 37 friends, before I finally decided it wasn't worth it, and I deleted my fb account altogether. Life is sweet now, one less hassle to worry about.

Don't agree to friend people that you don't know because it may just be a virus and if you click on that name you've got it on you computer. I was warned about this a while back, there are a lot of viruses over there.


My son told me that some of these friend requests are actually "bots" behind a dummy profile that can take your personal information once you accept them as friends on Facebook... So, watch who you accept as a friend!confused

This happens to me all the time. I usually ask a mutual friend who that person is but what I think I am going to do is "hide" my account so people can't send me friend requests anymore.

I think mine is hidden now, and my friends can't even befriend me and I've tried changing it all back to public but still they can't see me! bawl

I don't do the FRIEND RECOMMENDS thing. If someone wants to be my friend, I check to see who they are first.

I'm not a FACEBOOK or MYSPACE friend collector.
