i'm curious as to what makes y'all send others a FR on here. do people on forums intrigue you? perhaps through their lists?? lmao or do you just vibe check their profiles?

I don't, but sometimes I get random requests, I guess most of them just want to remember a profile that way, in the same way they put Anime in their lists.

I don't send them. I used to. No idea since most FR don't have anything written.

I'm too shy to send friend requests, even though there are a few people here I like (based on their lists and forum activity). However, I would happily accept any, because why not?

If the person seems like a decent and good person, I will befriend them.

Only when I know them in real life or I've met them before from other places like Discord :)

If we have somewhat a similar anime taste or if I just happen to like that person very much.

I don’t send any out, and I don’t have a particular reason as to why. I’m happy to accept any albeit it’d be nice to maintain a conversation.

These days I send them based on feel. Like if I see in the fg and I feel we have the same vibes I send a friend request. Otherwise it's just randos sending friend requests.

usually it's either, I bump into someone who I know from outside of MAL or someone who seems to have similar anime taste and appears to be a decent person

I very rarely send friend requests, but I do tend to accept them.

I've probably sent maybe 2 or 3 request since 2014 lol

Tho I get 1-4 request every single week on here. 99.99% of them just send the request with no message attached and no comment on my profile. I'm certain they just sent it because they want to use my list as a reference, as I not only have seen a fuck ton of anime, but also my list design is very appealing to navigate through

Ever since the MAL golden years ended, about 2019, I just kinda stopped caring for the most part interacting with users on a regular basis, for multiple reasons. So it's safe to assume, that if someone sends me a blank request, I will 100% ignore it. I still don't mind talking with people every now and then for a brief time, so for the extremely rare cases when someone does actually say something, I give a response.

@tsukareru this site is legit i.e. not sketchy...so there is nothing wrong with making friends on here.

i generally only send friend requests to people i know extremely well
or am very very comfortable with. at this point in my life it's hard for
me to stay consistent per se and a lot of people, particularly younger
people, seem to want to constantly stay in touch whilst i often only
reach out to people in sporadic bursts.

@DesuMaiden well i didn't say that there's anything wrong with making friends here. Just that i have grown tired of sending out fr now. Tbh many users here are friends, despite not being on my fr list.

I usually send one they like a lot of the same anime I do, or if they at least have good taste.

I used to send random requests, but stop partially due to self consciousness but also because I haven't interacted with any of them in years.

I'll still accept random requests, but I'd still rather actually regularly interact with the user.


I guess I don't see much of a point in sending requests anymore.

If they seem like an interesting person, or we've talked before. I basically never send friend request though cause i'm too shy.

When profile looks active and open/friendly. You can say it's random, but I don't do it often.

If they arent a criminal, then I might consider befriending them...otherwise, if they are a criminal, I suspect that they might be an undercover fbi agent...
