Nah. A lot of the time, they are probably the better people to get in contact with.

Think of it this way.

You could be a friend with a scammer or an honest person.

Which would you choose?

Probably the latter, right?

Thanks

haha, I hear you. I was thinking about that too... If they're reporting some obvious scammy crap, more power to em. At the same time though, I tend to talk a lot of sh!t & don't want some narc reporting me without good reason. Just never know.

I haven't ever tried formally initiating the WF process befriending anyone. Never reported on anyone, either, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone reported on me (for politically tinged comments or whatever)

I rarely "friend" someone on here. But I do get a lot of friend requests.

But more than that, I get about 3-5 adds on Skype daily. It gets old quick lol.

Unless I ask someone to friend me on Skype, don't do it unless we talk privately first O.o Haha.

Thanks

What is the purpose of befriending someone if I may ask?

I asked this once before because I logged on and someone had sent a friend thingy to me but I have no idea why.

I don't speak to the person or e-mail them or pm them or anything so I am not sure what its purpose is.

As for the post above, I don't see anything wrong about it.

You may have posted something that is coincidentally the same as the one who wanted to befriend you. He/she may have the same feelings towards a subject that you have already posted.

A JV in the making perhaps?

Thanks

I'm sure people have different reasons for friending on here. If I send you a seemingly random friend request it's because of at least one of the following reasons:
1) you seem pretty cool
2) your posts are interesting/useful/funny
3) your avatar leads me to believe that you are cute
4) you may know something geeky & important that I don't
5) you live in Vegas or somewhere of interest to me
or 6) I'm just bored & befriending people.

No harm done, I think. So far 9 people agree. Befriending on here is probably a form of bookmarking too... someone may want to check up on your posts from time to time.

Thanks

Are you implying you like bad boys? If so, you could be my new best friend...

  Biting my tongue so as not to get reported for being "inappropriate" by one of the people I clicked off of.
  
  How is it down under?

The question that has never been answered is this, wht is the implication of friending someone? On FB it means I can see your profile, pictures etc, on twitter you tweets are on my timeline etc. Is there an implication/advantage of friending other than a seemingly meaningless request.

Thanks
