When do you turn down friend requests?

Or are you just a big whore for your internet posse.

If I haven't communicated directly with the person in some way - on the boards, groups, journal, I decline.


























Unless they're really really hot.

I decline people when I have absolutely no idea who they are. It's fairly simple, really.

Did someone say "looks creepy"?

Hi, I'm theSpotlessMind. Do you want to be my friend?

I generally decline when people don't request my friendship. I'll just go into their journals and comment "you're denied motherfucker. I'm denying you."

Then they'll usually not reply. And that usually shows them.

Sooo if I decline a friend request what happens? Can they tell its been declined or whatever?

They won't get a message saying "YOU HAVE BEEN REJECTED!" or anything. But there is a place on everyone's Update page to see pending Friend requests...if you decline the person, their request to you just won't be there anymore.

Of course, if this person sees that you started an entire thread about it, they may feel more rejected than usual.

i think it just doesnt show up in their pending friends request thingy anymore.

Which is why I go to their journal and write a 500 word essay, pointing out their faults.

How do you know I'm not the one being rejected? Yeah, that's the ticket.

wha-ha, i proved you wrong. i accepted you this morning. TAKE THAT, NEW FRIEND!!!

I normally check out their profile, see if we have things in common.

It also helps if they've bothered to speak to me before.

I've been freind requested by random peope before. It always seems a little bit odd. How do they know me, and why do they want me on their freinds list?

I throw dice to accept / decline people now.

I know, most people who know you tend not to request right?

I have a request pending from this REALLY HOT CHICK who has never spoken to me. I'm really at a loss of what to do with it. It's been sitting there for about a week now.

If it wasn't from a good looking girl, I would have rejected it long ago. I am such a sucker.

Oh, I think that's the same one.

when i get a friend request. i go that person's journal and ask them why they want to be my friend. if i get no reponse for a long period of time. i might ask again then refuse

If you dont leave me a comment, and/or if you dont have a journal entry.

Uhh...I had that one too

So are we all in agreement that it's not cool to accept it?

Damn. I thought I was at least quasi-special.

Getting a friend request from that person doesnt make you special.

Being on my friends list does.

And, yes, its not cool to accept it. All the cool kids are denying that request. Come on. You wanna be cool, don't you?!

If I don't know you, or we've never talked, your ass is DENIED, ho.

Whenever I feel like it. gah!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<internet posse whore!!!!!!!!!!!!








yeah, if it's just a random request I normally turn it down, or if I get a creepy email along with the request then i turn it down, or if you are a girl collector I turn it down, or if you are wearing a red shirt I turn it down...there are many many reasons why i turn down requests.
