How many of you, actually look at the PROFILE of the person you're asking to be friends with?

I do, and I also check out the profile of those who sent them to me. I do not accept friends often though, and have weeded my friends list a LOT since I first joined. And I also tend to look at the activities of those who I would like to be friends with and those who request to be mine. It is just how I am.

I hate when people can't take the time to fill it out properly, it isn't that hard.
or not even filling it in at all...

Whether I send one or receive one, I check the profile
I'll even check the profile before responding to a post on the forums - I'm particular that way
This!
Although I send out very few requests.

I always read the profile before I either request or accept. Pictures are appreciated as well.

I always read the profile before sending or accepting a friend request. And like JasonM wrote, I usually will read the profile before I respond to a post they made in the forum. If a person takes the time to write one, I believe we should show them respect and read it.
Honestly, I have sent out very few friend requests. I always feel weird asking for some reason.

ALWAYS!!!
If anyone wants to be my friend, I always look at their profile first as well. I'm not one of these people who collect "friends", nor am I one to refuse someone because I've never interacted. Some people might like what you said in a thread, or didn't like what you said, and want to be your friend. They may want to reply to you, and feel more comfy if they're on your friend list.
Some profiles make the person appear self-absorbed and rude. Making themselves appear unapproachable, giving demands about who, what and when they will honor you with being their friend. .... Yeah, it's their profile and their wishes I get it.

Yes, I always have a quick look... Although, if I get a friend request with no note, I'm less inclined to look...

Always, although truth be told I rarely send friend requests, it shocks me how many people don't read mine though and the things that are said to me in random friend requests which I do not accept.

I have always looked at peoples profiles before I engage them in chat .. sending a friend request without having done at least that just doesnt make any sense to me ... goodness me you could be sending a friend request to a smelly ol skunk or something worse!

I *usually* check, but if the person has sent a nice message and/or I'm in a rush, sometimes I'll just accept the friend add without looking. If I'm doing the adding, I will definitely look through the profile and have a reason for sending the friend-request.
I'm not that social behind the scenes here and I'm always 'invisible' anyway, so for me - my friend list is pretty diverse and isn't limited to people I talk to. The vast majority are probably just people that like my stories or forum posts or maybe they're trying to broaden their friend list. Maybe they're new to the site and have no friends at all, and are tentatively trying to dive into the Lush experience. It doesn't really matter to me - I have zero snobbery when it comes to my friend list - honestly, I'll accept almost anyone.
I could have just taken the approach of having a condensed friend list of only people that I chat with regularly or have had some kind of genuine interaction with, but it just defeats the purpose of the 'social networking' component of the site for me. Plus I like the friendly spirit of much of the Lush community and don't like to feel like I'm unfairly snubbing someone. I think Lush is a different kind of animal to everyone who plays here though. That will probably be a major influence on whether you keep your list trimmed, cliquey or more open and inclusive.

97.5% of the time. Sometimes I just busy & checking lush for a second and accept real quick. Can always go back & delete them.

Funny fact: my nickname (one of them, anyway), growing up, was Spaceman, because I was always in a world of my own. Oh and I'm not a fan of "Andy". If one must shorten Andrew, it must be Drew.

I have honestly never sent a friend request. That being said I do check the profile of the people sending the request. If they do not send a note they don't get added. I just recently added the note to my profile that I do not open random chat requests. Everyone is different, but I would prefer a nice little note and maybe a little indication that they have indeed read my profile.

Always. And I always look at the profile of the person requesting to be friends with me as well.

I find it is always polite to read a profile before asking someone to be a friend. Some people may not like those of my sex contacting them.
Its also a good conversation starter with tidbits of information that you can start a conversation on. Can also draw lines of where conversations can and cant go.

I look 100% of the time and I hope others do the same with my profile. Why else would I bother writing one?
