Success rate of "friend requests"

Jump to newest

As soon as we post new pictures or comment/post on the forums, we receive several fruend requests without any message to introduce themselves. So this goes out to those who just send "friend invites" without ferling the need to actually communicate and say hello first. What is the success rate of people accepting the request without communication between the parties first ? And do you just trawl through profiles in the hope that some will accept ?

I just ignore friend request if I've not had any contact with them. Just pic collectors.

Good question! We do wonder this too, especially as we clearly (so we thought) say we only add people we have met in person. Wonder if anyone will own up to their success....

This!

Never delete as they can then re-request.

We let them sit there going mouldy!

Really?! Didn't know this! Wow....that makes some of them even more weird and seemingly desperate to be our friends! The mind boggles.

Some view it as a numbers game - the more they send the more likely some will say yes.

Plus some treat 'friends' on here like they do Facebook and try and rack up a huge number to seem popular.

Success rate? Can't complain.

And you can always bump people off friends lists!

We rarely add until we've met. Our list is very small!

i guess we gave our barriers up on jere as you just dont know who you are talking with until you actually speak or meet. In a club you can see and speak with people. We have had a cpl of meets thru fab, but as you guys say, a club is more of a prospect for meeting the right people.

I had hidden my profile for a bit. Pics hidden except one I think then came back on amd noticed I have well over 90 friend requests built up. I not a person who randomly accepts a request but only those who I have met. Most of those I wont have got an initial message with.

I guess people randomly send them in hope of getting lucky. Certainly doesn't work with me lol

There's no real need to add friends. If you meet and want to keep in touch - all good.

If it's just to see pics - simply attach to a message. If nothing happens you're not left with a list of people you're not still in contact with.

We don't even look at them

Once we've met people in life then we become friends, we really don't need virtual friends

we look and if we think maybe - then we write but say we dont accept invites without chat first - if they see their arse then thats our answer and it goes no further - i think we have a couple of friends from them having just invited us though - reverse the question and how many friends accept our invite and thats quite a high percentage - this is cos we chat first - lowers the rejection rate

Ignore them, it's kinda rude in a way. We will chat away to anyone but not like that.

We ignore the random friend invites, if they haven't got the courtesy to message and introduce themselves before asking to perv the goodies............

We never accept randoms, its clear in our profile so if they send 1 its clear they didnt read the profile and probably just looked at pics

Never except random friends request without chit chat. Friend request seem to be about getting hold of the elusive friends only pics. I would suggest friends only pics should be removed. Not a problem to send pics of your exploits and faces with messaging.
