I always read profile. Sometimes I take the risk and send the request even if the profile is almost empty. but there are some certain things, when I see them on a profile, I never send the request
I always read it. I always read the profile of the person who may be requesting to join me too.
I always do. I never send out freind requests. But when I get one I make it a point to learn something about who is asking.
BTW it really annoys me when someone sends me a request and all he writes is Hi and then when I check out his profile there is nothing there either. This happens to me all the time.
I always read the profile before I request or accept a friend.
Like when I read dpw's...uhm...
I always read as much as I can on a persons profile this way if we friend I have and idea of how the friend wants to share their ideas and thoughts and have the best talks, gotta know what someone is looking for
I always read the profiles of people who ask to be a friend and almost always add them by their profile, once in a while I can gamble and add someone with a very limited profile- sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't
Always. When you leave them a comment it nice to mention that you and the other person have something in common or like the same things. You should never just be a friend collector.
Well that's just my opinion, sorry if you don't like.

I don't issue friend requests, but after accepting every friend request my first couple of days here, and ending up with some less than savoury characters as friends, I learned my lesson and now I look at profiles before I accept a request.

Oh I definitely look at the profile before sending a request. I also check it out when I get a friend request. I think everyone mostly does that. Otherwise I would have as many profile views as friends.

I always check out the profile before making or accepting a request. From time to time I'll check profiles out just to see what the person is interested in.

I have made the mistake of not checking a couple of times now I read them always before adding anyone or sending a request.
I havent gone back to look through all seven pages of this post, but i'm pretty sure most of us replying to it do read profiles. Somehow, I just doubt those that don't bother to "read the articles" dont even know we have a forum on here!
All of them. Just a little bit of info makes a big difference on how one should interact with another.
Yea, its the respectful thing to do...and you don't want to waste either of your time.
yes, I always check a person's profile before sending a request
Always - as was said before (Barrone) I want to know what I'm getting, and I want to be sure I'm getting what I want!
Always. I try and make sure we have some of the same interests before adding or sending f/r. unlike some people, I keep my friends list for people I talk to not just to jack up the count.
I always read profile. An avatar may catch my eye but it is what and how a person expresses themselves that attracts me enough to want them in my circle.
I always read the profiles, if the profile doesn't interest me why would they, and at 47 I am not looking for children, there is no common ground, so why bother?
