I have next to never received an invite from someone i didn't talk to beforehand, but i always look at what they say about themselves before i send a request. Those without anything typed are S.O.L.
All the time, whether it be someone is requesting to be my friend or I'm doing the requesting. I am not a fan of just adding as many people as I can to my friends list, I'm really picky on who I will let on that list, and even talk back and forth first before adding.
Always! I need to see what they appear to focus on and who they interact with. Also, what do they post on their page and are we seemingly compatible in our personal hobbies, interests and sexual desires so that we would enjoy interaction together chatting, talking, role-playing or even phone chat.
A determined person with perseverance can overcome many obstacles. They can, many times, perform better than those who are more intelligent, stronger and with better finances by determination and perseverance
I always read in full
or else how would i know that I wanted to be friends with them?
its not about a number but about quality
I always look at profiles, even if I only talk to someone once. If they have no picture, no about me filled out, no stories, and no forum posts, and basically have contributed nothing to the site, I usually don't friend them. I figure if they haven't even bothered to do the simplest thing on their profile, they won't be on here much, or for very long. There is no point in sending a friend request.
Always - but I am sure many that request my friendship don't. I am very specific don't ask me, I will ask you.
I always look / study before "friends" and ALSO before responding in some of the forum games ... don't want to "offend" anyone (especially ladies) with my answers, etc.
So you're telling me people don't look at the other person's profile :/
Weird!!!
I always look at a person's profile the first time they say hello, I never add people now unless I chat to them a while. If they don't have profile, they will find I am more picky. If I get friends request from people who have not even spoken to me, they get instant rejection. Its not about who has the most friends. I also very rarely ask anyone to be friends, they usually ask me first.
Always, otherwise it seems rather pointless and obviously, that reminds me of many sites, where how popular you are is determined by numbers.
In the world's harsh wear and tear many a very sincere attachment is slowly obliterated.
Είμαι ταξιδιώτης τόσο στο χρόνο όσο και στο διάστημα
Yep - I always check the profile (and I've never yet had a friend request from someone I've not chatted with).
I totally agree with CristalNZ. No profile or no chat and it isn't going to happen.
Reading someone's profile is only polite - ideally even before trying to chat when them, much less requesting to become friends. Conversely, one's profile should contain useful information!
There are some people who don't. I recently received a friend request with just one word, - Hi. In spite of the fact that my profile specifically says let's have a few chats before you send a friend request.
Yes, always and without fail.
always 100% of the time.
also use their first name to introduce myself to them.
"The Gods that smiled when you were born
are laughing now."
I always do. Or how will i know if i want to chat with them.
I actually read every bio on the profile page I look at.
I've gotta read the profile. It's one more way to decide if I want to be their friend and it gives me another source of things to talk about in the inherent 'hello' message.
I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?
I definitely look at the profile before saying Hello! Some time I just read the profiles of the females in the room without chatting. I have found some very interesting reading.
I always read the profile. I find that if you don't then you are probably going to do or something that is going to get you in trouble. Always better to play on the safe side.
I always do.. why would a person not look at there profile ?
