Why Do You Want To Be My Friend?!!!!!!!


Crystalina wrote: Does anyone else get numerous friend requests from MySpace from absolute strangers? Where do they find me and is there any way to stop them? I get politicians, musicians, mommys from everywhere and some very odd cats. dry.gif It's getting crazy and I don't know about you but for me sometimes it takes FOREVER for someones myspace page to load. With a saying instead of a name and a crazy picture or a picture of a baby I have to click on all the pages just so I don't get rid of someone that I want to keep. If I could just get rid of the musicians, clubs and politicians it wouldn't be so bad to go through the average persons request. kwim?

mckayleesmom replied: I get them too...drives me nuts. I would never request to be friends with someone I didn't know...kwim?

C&K*s Mommie replied: I do not get alot of friend requests, I have a few that are of unknown people but I click them as friends anyhow. I do not get onto MySpace very often, except to add people as friends, check any messages but that is about it. I need to update my homepage though.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I've gotten a few messages and friend requests from people I don't know. And from people that have absolutely nothing in common with me as far as I can tell - I think they're just trying to get their friends list up or something. rolleyes.gif I got a message once from some guy who (according to his location on his page) lives about an hour away from me, saying I was hot and asking if I liked to swing. ohmy.gif rolleyes.gif Kinda creepy. dry.gif

ETA: In your settings you can choose to block all messages and friend requests from bands, that would help cut down on the number a bit.

luvbug00 replied: I just deny them beacuse they post annoying bullitons

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I don't get any friend requests, unsure.gif but then again, my profile is pretty bare and that may be why.

ETA: It's also set to private.

Mommy2Isabella replied: you can set up where they have to know your last name or email address, before the request is sent to you.

Maddie&EthansMom replied:
Oh that's true. I did this. thumb.gif

Crystalina replied:
I hate the bulletins. I don't even read them anymore. They are really no differant then "forwards" that I get in emails. growl.gif My FIL is always sending me "fowards".

Send this to 10,000 of your friends and your wish will come true! rolleyes.gif

Maybe I should do it one time and wish for no more "fowards". rolling_smile.gif

C&K*s Mommie replied: With the few that I get setting my page to private may not be a bad idea, or setting it so that they will not know my last name either. Thanks Aimee and Jessica!

My page is bare too, in comparison to others. blush.gif

Crystalina replied:
I've thought about that but I've found alot of people I went to high school with and most of them don't know my married name or my email. rolleyes.gif I may have to just put up with it.

Maddie&EthansMom replied:
Oh my page isn't bare...I just meant I didn't give a lot of information about myself when I filled out the questionare deal. wink.gif

holley79 replied: I just deny them. If they really want to be my "friend" then they can send me a message first.

3xsthefun replied: If it is someone I do not know, then usually I just deny them.

mckayleesmom replied:
Exactly....At least tell me why you want to be my friend

CantWait replied: I get a lot with hi5. I don't usually add people I don't know. Although in my profile it says that I'm looking to talk with other military wives etc. so I will add them.

With these type of pages though, that really is one of the points, not only to add your friends, but to find friends. It sucks, I just take it and am flattered.

A&A'smommy replied: yeah I get LOTS of those but I usually just deny them, I don't want to set my thing on private for the same reason lots of people I knew in my past don't know that either and I'm slowly finding them again!! tongue.gif

Its definitly annoying though!!!

ashtonsmama replied: I remember I used to (when I used myspace) and it was so annoying!
