| If facebook has taught me anything, it's that having hundreds of people you don't actually care about on your friends list is really inconvenient. So no, I'm not big on random friend requests. |

| I would accept all of them, doesn't hurt to click that one button. |

| If someone wants to be a friend with me they should give me at least few reasons (in a message) why should we be friends which wouldn't make it so random. Same goes for facebook, it's just weird why would I be friends with someone I've never seen and I don't know anything about. I think it's just awkward. And it's your friend request, not mine, therefore it's your duty to try to message me, not mine. If you thought I would actually oeverwhelm you with questions who you are etc. Wrong. If you're only going to add me to increase your friends number (which seems pretty popular on facebook *facepalm*) and show everyone "look I've got alot of friends". No thank you. |
| I'd accept any if I got any. Sometimes someone wants to make a friend or something, I'm not gonna stare down possibility. Too many times have I myself wanted to be friends with someone yet cowered at fear of being rejected. |
| The only time I have rejected a friend request was in the form of a rather suspectful, void list user. Spambot probably. In the other cases I can accept people being more selective, but as for me? I don't have any reason to refuse a friendship request from whoever wants. My list and comments are public, so are my preferences and opinions. The big deal is that I'll have more names in a list. Okay. |
| Never really gotten one (in here), but why not? But I still remove "useless" friends at random times as I do in other sites... |
 |
| Sure! The more the merrier! |
| My signature is lame... |
| No, I ignore all my friendrequests until they post some comment on my profile. You people better do too, or you wont hear anything from me. Honestly, how hard can it be? I don't bite.....or do I? >:3 |

| I got some random friend request from this site and facebook. Even though I do accept them here, it's sad that I don't chat with them. However, in facebook, I would not accept any friend request. I don't deserve any friends since I barely talk to anyone. I have one friend though here who I have on facebook. He's the only one I ever talk to about anime and other things. |

| A [former] attention whore has his limits. And getting friend requests every day is the limit. |
| Usually, yes I accept them. I see nothing wrong with it, I have nothing deeply personal to hide. |
| If I don't recognize the user I probably won't accept it, unless they send a message explaining why they're sending it to me. Like Ntad said, it's just common courtesy. |
| I don't have this problem. Nobody sends me FR's any more. |
| Currently at 56 friend requests, because: Shoryuuken said: I ignore all my friendrequests until they post some comment on my profile. |
| I do accept random FR. it's nice to have new friends. |
| I just checked my pending friend requests for the first time, and there are none. LOL. After nearly two years. |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| I'd prefer a message of some sort before I add anyone. I have irl friends on my MAL and it keeps things neater if I don't have to search through a bunch of people I've never spoken to in order to find their accounts. |
| what the hell are the "benefits" of being a "friend" on MAL anyway? oops, that sounded dirty you know what i mean - does it change access to your information or something? sorry i'm so dumb about this. I don't explore much, i just show up to talk anime (and other crap in general discussion lol) i am proud to announce i "made friends" today (responded to rquests from like forever ago) if you were funny, or i "know" you, u made the cut! gosh i feel so less lonely now LOL. i'd like to thank the academy... Mod Edit: Double post combined. |

| I accept every request without even checking their profile. I don't see a reason to decline. |
 |
Katagari said: @Dainty Perhaps not to your info, but there is a 'friends only' option for your comments and blog. I would consider that a benefit if you have pictures up or private links you would only want certain people seeing. thanks i appreciate the info |
| I think it's fun to have new friends. Even if I wouldn't like it, I don't have the heart not to accept :o |
| of course i still have zero :3 |
| anime with cute girls is my thing. |
| I dont get friend requests :( |

otaking97 said: They would be inconvenient because I like to go to people's profiles from my friends list, to see what they're up to. If I don't particularly care what someone is up to, then they're just making the process more difficult. brrr said: This is true. IF there was a 'feed' or something else that can be annoyingly filled up by nonsense. There is nothing like that here so how could they be "inconvenient"?If facebook has taught me anything, it's that having hundreds of people you don't actually care about on your friends list is really inconvenient. So no, I'm not big on random friend requests. Which isn't to say that I hate everyone who isn't on my friends list, of course, haha. The people on my list are just more or less my "favourites." |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| I accept and if they don't talk to me even once after a few weeks, I remove them. |
 |
| No, they should talk to me first or GTFO. |
otaking97 said: So I see people who put in their profile: "I refuse random friend requests". Got me wondering why? What's the big deal? Is there something they can see/access differently if they are in your friends list? Is there a friend limit? What's your take? Because some of us have social Alzheimer's and also don't want to be associated with tards. /thread |
| How do people get to 2000 hours when I'm already this bored? |
| I always accept them and if I come across someone who looks nice I send one. I like talking to new people on here. Everyone I've talked to so far is really nice c: |
| Who on MAL actually cares about their friends list? It's completely redundant imo. |
| I accept all friend requests and answer all messages I get. I like talking to random people I don't know, so I really don't care |
 |
| I accept them and I try talking to them. I like meeting new people. I don't really like having 'friends' I never even said "Hi". I also send friend request but only if we have a lot of stuff in common or we have talked before. |
There's no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can't gain anything without losing something first. Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah, a heart made fullmetal. - Fullmetal Alchemist |
| If I don't know a person who's just added me I tend to leave a comment on their profile asking them who they are and why they are adding me. If they don't reply or give some bull response then I deny. Like it's one thing when a randomer adds you but also leaves a message on their profile (or in the request) saying why they are adding you and starting up a conversation, but when it's just some random invite, the person hasn't left you a message of anything... why should I accept that? |

| I love random friend requests! Makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Or would if I ever got them. ;_; |
| Never forget, that if you post a topic, you're not allowed to post in it yourself, by order of MAL administration. |
| A small conversation first would be nice, lol. I probably wouldn't, it seems pointless to randomly add someone then most likely never speak to them. |
| "Find the twinkle in your smile, chase it on til' morning." |
| I only accept a friend request if I've talked with the person before and they seem like a decent individual. But random ones? I ignore those. |
| Salmon is delicious. |
| If I have no idea who you are then I won't accept. Usually I'd like to at least no someone somewhat before friending them. Whether that be from one talk or just in general being active on the forums IDC |
☕ Truth be told, I'm quite proud of my house blend. To attain my flavor and fragrance, I use five different types of coffee beans. ☕ |
| Whenever I get a random friend request, I look at the dude's profile and see what they rated Elfen Lied and base it off that. Though accepting them usually isn't a good thing, I have like 10+ people on my friends list who I just have never talked too. |

| I accept them on forums but not on social media sites. |
 |
| I accept any friend request and sometimes when I'm fucking bored I send random friend requests. Anyway, most of my talk are by PM and so my "friends" on here are unknown for most people that watch my profile. |
I luv u |
