FabSwingers.com forum: Friends request straight away

Thoughts on this

I would be one that sends a request with a message saying I've done so and if the profile wants to have a quick look at all my profile 1st instead of just what I want them to see before making a decision.

Why not just send them a photo you want them to see in the first place?

Why though? You have a face pic visible, what's the need for a friend request?

I'd think "No thanks mate" and delete the message. Probably leave the friend request hanging so I don't have to delete it multiple times.

Friend request with a first message ? I would delete as they just want to see my other photos.

For me friends are people I want to meet or have already met, not for strangers

Not for us, we would delete straight away. Our friends list is for actual friends only.

Speaking from my own personal point of view, I'd delete bother message and the friend request without replying. Accepting the friend request would also give you instant access to my friends-only pics/vids. They're friends-only for a reason - I only want people I'm comfortable with seeing them

We’ve had several friend requests without the person(s) even chatting to us in at all we either leave them alone and don’t respond or just block. It’s the lack of manners thing for us.

We can already see profile text and public photos of people who message us.

I don't want to check out private photos until I'm interested in someone.

If they want me to see their face they can attach a pic to a message.

"I'd think "No thanks mate" and delete the message. Probably leave the friend request hanging so I don't have to delete it multiple times."

This is THE lesson to learn on fab! Every woman does this! No exceptions!

I can verify that as, during Covid, I sent out 350,000 frriend requests to different women on this site who I had previously never contacted. You know the theory that if you chuck enough paint at a wall, some will stick! Well, it didn’t! Only one replied to me and only to complain that I’d accidentally sent her two friend requests both of which she took great pains to tell me she’d deleted for pure pleasure!

Of course, I might have been successful with the 350,001st but I’m sorry, I just couldn’t be arsed anymore! Only so much rejection a guy can take, right!

This was always my way before but with little return. I've attached a friend request to my messages for a few months now and had more replies than before, I think curiosity plays a part as well.

Someone who sends me a friends request at first message is just left hanging. I think they just want to see my friends pics. They’re not there for any old randoms to see, if they were, they’d be public.

This is why I don't bother with keeping friend's pics. If I get to the point of sharing anything more than my public pics I'll be MUCH better acquainted and chatting with them off fab.

We have over 200 pics people can see…we still get messages asking us to be friends from people with no pics, so basically wanting to see all our others

Why yes of course Ken…have them all

We never delete as they can’t send you another one then.

Not sure why anyone would accept a friends request from a random - clue is there!

"Thoughts on this

Seems like a good idea to me. I swear some people are just obtuse on purpose.

It's easy enough to wait till you're offline, accept the request, check your Friend pics and delete the Friend link so you can't see theirs.

It's much better than just sending a Friend request without ever chatting first.

You will know if they are interested when they message you... or if they don't.

Yep as many others have said, I’d just delete the request and their message and/or block.

I’m not interested in seeing someone else’s ‘friends only’ pics. If they didn’t have a few decent public pics, I wouldn’t respond to them anyways.

NEVER friend request off the bat. Women will just delete you straight away.

Message them and attach pictures of your face and body (non-fully nude preferably).

They will friend request you if they're interested. Women don't play hard to get with somebody they genuinely like.

Let them make the move. Don't be pushy.

There's enough pics to perve on in public to know if anyone's interested.
