MySpace friends requests

MySpaceI know there are a lot of different opinions about sending and accepting MySpace friends requests. Some people will only accept you if they know you, some people will only accept you if you send a message first and others accept anyone just for the sake of extending their friends list as if it’s a big popularity contest.

I first joined up with MySpace because a bunch of other girls of a forum I used to visit had profiles there and they lured me into it. I was only interested in talking to them so I didn’t accept friends requests of people I didn’t know in one way or another. But these days I have changed…

People are just too interesting to turn them down without even trying to get to know them. I met this gay guy with blue hair who has the most interesting views of the world. I can talk to him about religion for hours and not get bored for one second. MySpace is a great way to meet new people, but I now have my own friends requests policy. I will not accept anyone unless they actually intend to ‘talk’ to me. So no messages… no acceptance!

I think it’s a fair policy. If people do send a friends request without a message I always contact them, asking how they’re doing, etc. If I don’t get a reply, their friends request goes down the drain! That way you can filter a lot of spam profiles.

Do you accept every friends request or do you have your own policy?

    Well, I’m not on myspace, but my policy on facebook is that I have to at least know who the person is to accept them. I have a fair amount of personal stuff (pictures, phone number, etc) so I don’t want people I don’t know accessing everything. I think myspace tends to be more “open,” though, from what I’ve heard.

    MySpace is really addicting and lately, I only accept requests from people I know or who have contacted me before. I use MySpace to stay in contact with family and friends who I’ve lost contact with and I guess I don’t see the point of having 1000 of friends I never talk to like some people have. Maybe I’m just weird like that. Lol. :)

    I’ve never seen the point of having a myspace page “private” or not being willing to make new friends online. Since I have been only (1996), I’ve always been about meeting people. I agree that if you aren’t going to interact, it’s kind of pointless to have random “friends” to make the number bigger. I wish I had more time to do what you are doing.
