Friend collecting.

July 06 2009

Can someone please explain to us why some people have many friends attached to profiles whilst others won't attach because they feel others may think they are conquests they have slept with? We’re just curious.

    It drives me mad when I get people whom have never messaged or chatted with or met or live in other states that want to be friends! Friends should just be that - friends!!!

    Friends are people you have met with and know, not some arb who wants to get in on the act. shy

    The friends I have on my list are: Genuine, Decent and Fun people to hang out with. I have met them numerous times and thus therefore they are not "fake" nor "time wasters" Few i have slept with, but that got nothing to do with adding them as friends...

    Yeah, is it a game some people play to out do others, by collecting the most friends they have never had contact with? It could also be they like to build a quick search reference maybe. We would love to have many friends on our profile but only ones we have had genuine contact with or mutual forum chat. Cheers!

    We also don't accept or try to add anyone we've not made contact with.

    As a guest my friends are difficult to contact but they're there because I'd like to know them better... Even if I have to wait until I actually buy a membership! Really, I guess people are motivated by lots of individual reasons. I think it's pretty naieve for anyone to assume that a persons contacts are all sexual partners.

    this is just my 2 bobs worth if someone is asking me to be a friend and they look like they are just trying to bump up their numbers like a collection I will usually decline If I have added a request and have had no initial contact with them within a couple of weeks I will also delete So pretty much all of my contacts I have spoken to and some I have met

    Good question. I have a few friends that I have talked to on here but also have some that are no longer valid. Thanks to your post I just looked and worked out how to get rid of them. There does seem to be people who collect maybe to make themselves look popular. It's crazy to see people with in excess of 100 friends. I would not normally contact them because they obviously have enough on their hands already. As for those with no friends the first thing that comes to mind is are they a real profile. All the fake ones I have found have had no friends. I think it is best to have talked to someone before having them on your friend list.

    Apart from a few interstate friends on our list who we chat to on a regular basis, the other people we have met. They are people we socialise with, some more than others and often catch up at meets/parties. I understand your post..but you have to understand alot of us have been on the site along time and are regular chatters who know each other. We have found a few fake profiles along the way too.. this is just another way to show some genuine people on the site. Used the right way, it also helps when your meeting people for the first time maybe and you can ask those people who have them listed if they have met them before. You do have the option to accept or decline on your list, so i guess some people dont mind being added weather they have met or not. For some maybe its a wish list...lol Grav n Leelee xxx

    Does it really matter anyway?? It's not like they can see your private pics or anything?? In fact i dont really know why they have the friends thing

    I have only added people to my Friends List who I have at the very least had a decent conversation with, if not met in person. My Friends List has come in pretty handy as a means of verification (ie - Hey, you have sexyassman on your friends list - is he nice etc?). People specifically chatted us (diff profile) up as we had some friends in common. Great talking point and way to meet more people :D I get heaps of randoms that seem to just want to add friends for the hell of it. I suspect a lot of Guest guys do it cos it's about the only thing they can do to feel like they've connected with someone on here lol For others... it's like facebook etc. Collecting friends is fun I guess..??

    I see no point adding someone...... ill never meet..... Each freind On My list I have Either Met...in person..or intend to meet...........(if they are from another State).....or chat to on a regular basis . I Much prefer to have a small gropup of freinds......than a long list of People I know.... As for those ...Naieve or ignorant enough to think that the freinds lists are a list of Partners or Conquests Double Rasberrys for YOU......Ya silly Duffers.......!

    I think a lot of the guest members add people because they can't contact people. Personally I only have 2 on my friends list. I've chatted with both and physically met one of them. If you can't chat with them then there is no point in adding them. I have never been intimate with either of them, so they are just friends. Perhaps we need a seperate Lovers list? LOL

    I add friends as a reminder of the people I am going to message when I finally get off my lazy ass and pay for a membership. That way, I can just quickly send off a few 'Hellos' to people I know would like to hear from me and expand from there.
