I know that I am not the only one on here that gets random friend request. But my question is this: How do you pick and choose when it comes to sending these requests? Is it really random, or are you stalking particular members? LOL

I tend to prefer members of the opposite sex, and rarely if ever add someone who I don't have some sort of contact with.
I haven't asked that many people, especially the last few months. I tend to get asked for 90% of them. But sometimes, yes I stalk members, lol. I've stalked the really good writers, like Jaymal, DamonX, LIsa, and Dancing_Doll, and surprise- the best writers end up being really cool people too.
Some of the moderators that I've talked to about one thing or another, and turned out I liked them- I requested them to be friends. Otherwise, it might just be somebody whose profile is interesting or funny.
The others are all requests that I get from others, and if I know them and they haven't pissed me off, I accept. If they don't seem like a dumbass, or their cock looks nice, or whatever- I accept them too a lot of the time. But if you don't have your own AV, and you're a dumbass, and your first question is if I want to fuck, or something like that, then usually I don't.
I usually only ask for two reasons. The first would be authors who's writing I like and the other would be people who have left nice comments on my stories. I figure that if they like one of my stories they'll like my others. I mostly friend people just for the alerts when they post a new story or a new forum post. I'd say my friends are 50/50 on wether I asked them or they asked me.
I'm not much of a chatter so I always wonder if people on my friends list think I'm rude because I rarely spark up a conversation. I just prefer to interact on the forum when I actually have something to say. So if you get a friend request from me and you haven't left a comment on my stories it means I really like your writing.
Sometimes I'll add people because of their profile. Or because I've associated with them in the threads. I rarely get requests.
I generally accept only a smaller per cent of people that ask. If there is nothing in your Profile to make me believe we could have anything in common, I delete.
When I see a profile of interest I frequently send an EM and ask them to check my profile and advise me if they are interested in Whitney.?
Forum seems to have the brights and most interesting people if you are young or not so young
As a shoe, I seem to get a lot of random friend requests ... weird, I know!
So my friends list is from people who seem to have enjoyed my writing, or thru the forum, or in the chatroom. I don't accept friend requests from someone I haven't chatted with in some fashion.
I rarely friend request - but have, usually from the forum threads or chatting in the chatroom .... which reminds me, I should blast out a few long over due requests!
(impish grin ....)

I don't get many requests.. and the ones I do have took pity on me I think.... bless them....
I usually receive most requests then check out the requester's profile and if anything on it interests me I approve most woman I approve most teens I do not. Getting kind of sick of people who won't choose an av or whose profiles are empty and lame might have to clean house sometime! The requests I have made are usually to authors or forum posters I like. Oh and call me a slut I don't seem to mind cock shots go figure....

Bunny Rabbits cute and fuzzy they want to love you but they have razor sharp teeth - don't piss them off! I don;t really request friends. I did a few when I first joined the site and I might do it if I notice somebody that seems interesting, but they are few and far between. I get quite a lot of requests for friends, but I've decided to not accept any more unless they at least have a proper avatar.
I have tried many different ways, adding every tom dick, and sally, to being selective, but now I make sure the person I add makes an effort to introduce him, or herself on their profile. Ad a picture of something which charactarises your persona, tell us why you are hear. And if i add you, its because we have chatted or i find your profile interesting.
I realize members can be a handful at times but, because I don't personally interact, the remedy is only a click away. It has only crossed my mind to not accept friend requests from the people that are in to because this goes against my grain but do accept because we all have a right and the chore of working through/with what we are. Knowing human desire is interesting to me, I accept all friend request.
It's not like this really makes any of us friends anyway.
Torture the data long enough and they will confess to anything.
I rarely ever send out requests because I receive some every time I get online. If I ever do send out a request though it's because of I see through a member's profile we have a lot in common or we've previously associated and it was positive.
I got a friend request from one of those generic red Lush avatars.. can't remember his name.. let's call him 'Doofus".... so I go to his page.. he has 'Doofus"... no bio.. no info at all.. no postings.. no songs... no images... not a goddamn thing.. but he had 48 friends... WTF!!!
I rarely add people but accept a lot of friend requests(in case they are fans of my work)...I normally add people who have awesome taste in music or who interest me because they are funny
Maybe instead of titling it "Friends" maybe it should just be designated "Chatters".. I doubt anybody's entire list is all friends....
It depends on the mood I am in.
I never send out requests! I get a ton of people who wish to add me but I always look at their profile first. Call me crazy but if I haven't talked to you then I dont need you on my friend list. How can you be my friend if we have never talked?....lol
