How do I talk to strangers on Facebook?
You might have some good intent in talking to some "stranger girl" you found on facebook. But assume that there are too many guys like you who share your same feeling and start sending her request then the strange girl would be irritated with the same.So unless the person knows you she will not reply back ..... so if you don't know the person stop bothering them. Even if the request is accepted they wont be interested to talk to you bcoz they have other important things to do in there life than chatting with you. Like for instance chatting with her actual friends than some "strange guy" who sent a request to be a friend. You are by definition alienating that person and she would chat with you only if she is very bored and nothing else to do....it wont be fruitful as number of people already tried this and the people you are trying to talk to will already be fed up with all this unknown "strange guy's" request Usually these people add you to show of there popularity with the number of friends they have.One advice - get a life ... find a real person to be friend with . . . .
Is it weird making friends with strangers on Facebook?
You can begin the process of discovering potential new friends on Facebook, but you can never call them anything other than casual contacts. Friendship is forged by proximity, repetitive contact, mutually beneficial actions, and reciprocity. Call them e-acquaintances, but not friends. Until you establish face-to-face contact, commonality of interests, and a sustainable and mutually beneficial relationship, they will not be friends, but friendly.
Is it impolite to add strangers on Facebook?
It is not impolite, it is weird ;)When you already have some connection to someone, even virtual, but you've met on some fb group i.e. then it is natural that you send invitation. But no, when you send it to a stranger.Also some people use fb only as an extension of their real life relationships and don't want to add some virtual friends. So rejection isn't impolite to. Everybody is master of their facebook account.For making new friends from all around a globe I recommend you to try twitter or instagram. Someone said that on facebook are your actual friends, and on tt are your new friends ;)
So many friend request from Strangers on facebook!!?
My facebook profile picture is not slutty at all,just very plain photo of me. Plus they send me FB messages about asking about who I am and such and complementing me. And asking me to contact them with an email and ****. Its so creepy. 4 times i got friend request from guys who had profile pictures taken of their penises and I blocked time all. They were also not from US (where i'm from). My name first, middle and last are ukrainian names if that helps. What creeps me out is the fact that this is happening more often and quite frequently then it ever had before.
Is adding people you don't know on facebook bad?
It is if you put much personal info on your page, yes it can be very bad. If you have a profile that has no personally identifying info that you use only for games and such, its fine. Try to think of it in a worst case scenario. If you had an absolute predator that wanted to do you harm, is there enough info on your profile for them to find you? First name might be harmless depending on other info there. Last name should not be there. Phone number should not be there. Town you live in should not be there (other then maybe saying a major city). Where you go to school should not be there. If you have your picture up, first name, what town you live in and what school you go to, it really would not be hard for a predator to find you. And don't just pay attention to what you say in your statements. You could have a picture of you in front of your schools sign....or with a school sweatshirt on........pay attention to what information about you that your pictures are putting out too. And also your friends comments on your page.....that may have info you should not leave up. So many people use face book as a complete scrapbook of their life. If you are going to do that, you need to have your page private and not add people that you do not know in real life. If you are going to have strangers added, you need to have a page that you would have no problem having public and anyone at all seeing, because you do not know who is behind the page you are adding
My gf and facebook and adding guys?
My gf and I are in a LDR. Well I talk to her maybe twice a day about how things are going and what we did in our days. well my gf seems to be adding random guys on fb. people that i have never heard about and dont know about. it bugs me because if we talk I would assume she would mention these people. facebook is for friends to add friends not for people to just add anyone.
Do you accept strangers' friend requests on Facebook?
My practice varies - especially with Facebook.I have accepted a friend request from people I do not know but I always “check them out.” If I find their Facebook page filled with material - comments and images - that is not appropriate I will not accept the request. If I find we have several mutual friends, I might contact one of them and ask if there is any reason to not accept the request.Then I will message the requester and ask why they are seeking a connection. If they do not respond to my message, I will not accept them.I received many requests from people I do not know and probably accept 5–7%.There is a danger in accepting just anyone and most people who do not know the people they are requesting a friend connection from are doing it for two reasons. First, they want to collect friends and have a large number. This alone is silly because no one sees or interacts with all their friends. Second, they have nefarious intentions. They are looking for weak spots to hack and clone.So, my general rule is that I do so only after screening them and deciding that they want a friend request for a good reason and are not a danger. But, I’ll say this, of those who have established a contact with me on Facebook, the first inclination I get that they are going to be asking for money for their children's school and start sending me pictures of children being fed and singing or looking hungry, I will put them on my Block list which is almost as long as my friends list. It is a favorite practice for these fake ministers to play on the compassion of others and get money sent to them for ministries that don’t exist. It seems to be children’s ministries mostly or woman’s ministries in countries other than my own.
Why don't girls accept Facebook friend requests from strangers?
I add strangers all the time. I don't care who is on my facebook as long as they leave me a lone and don't become obsessive or creepy. A lot of girls don't like adding people they don't know because if they are old enough to be their parents. It's creepy. If they are ugly, they aren't good enough. If they are from a different state or area. It screams alert. Like how the heck did you find me when we don't even live close? Other times it's just annoying having our phones blown up with notifications from people we don't know. I add people because people can be adding you just because they need someone to talk to.. which I don't mind:) Just...don't stalk me lol
If some random person adds you on Facebook, should you accept?
I used to have a strict policy of not accepting "Randoms" on Facebook. As my activity level transferred to Twitter, I found that I was meeting a lot of great people through my tweets that I could have never met on Facebook. So, based on this, my policy has changed and I now accept "randoms", but I put them on a "randoms" list which has extreme security settings and very little access to my profile information. Basically, we are connected and that's it. Our relationship is about as deep as a Linkedin relationship. I look at it as an "option" on getting to know them. If they prove to be weird or unsettling in some way, then I simply de-friend them. Generally, I'm pretty open and I like to give people a chance. You never know, they might surprise you in a good way. In my own experience, the super cautious approach espoused by answers above has made Facebook a bit of a siloed experience. As a result, Facebook has become my filing cabinet for friends and photos. I don't do much there. Most of my activity is on Twitter, Quora and Foursquare. I totally understand some individuals' trepidation in being widely transparent. It really comes down to a personal choice and how much you can tolerate. Personally, I'm with Zuckerberg, and I think the world should be more open and transparent. I never liked cliques and secrets.
