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. 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. 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. Kinda creepy.
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, 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.
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. My FIL is always sending me "fowards".
Send this to 10,000 of your friends and your wish will come true!
Maybe I should do it one time and wish for no more "fowards".
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.
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. 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.
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!!
Its definitly annoying though!!!
ashtonsmama replied: I remember I used to (when I used myspace) and it was so annoying!
