I really don't see where it is your business as to who your friend has as a friend on Facebook.

Man, I laughed hard at that.

Honestly, it's not a big deal, I'm facebook friends that I went to kindergarten with and haven't seen them since.

This is the face of 2009, worrying about Facebook.

Oh my god, people are dying of AIDS, starving to death, suffering in the economy and you're worrying about a trivial Facebook problem?

No wonder this world is so screwed.

Most guys would have a problem with your request because it's not any of your business who they're friends with.
I didn't say my cousin wasn't nice- I don't have any problem with her in general. The last incident I referred to when she spoke to a male friend of mine was like 10 years ago. I didn't think that she would take it upon herself to do it again, but obviously I was wrong.

My point is that I would not have taken it upon myself to add any of her male friends to my Facebook just for the heck of it, and I would like the same courtesy from her.

I'd like to add that I am Facebook friends with pretty much my whole senior class from High School. Half of them I have never said a word to! I just added/confirmed them because you never know if they'll become useful to you in the future.

I just like to keep tabs on people. I'm sure they do also. I'm friends with people I never spoke to in high school now too.

Yes, that's fine and I have people on my friends list that I don't speak to also, but the point is that I DO know them from someplace and I didn't just STEAL them off somebody else's list. There's a difference, people! LOL This guy is MY friend, not hers and she knows this!

Absolutely. And then some.

If you don't want someone on your list being able to see who is making comments...and subsequently add that person...then you need to change your privacy settings. Or delete your cousin.

This is so ridiculous that I thought it was a joke.

It's okay for people to be on your list even though you don't talk to them. But it's bad for her to have met your guy friend once and add him? Where's the difference?

I'm sorry, but you sound like a child.

How many other friends does your cousin have on Facebook? She may be a serial friender and friend everybody she sees so that she can have 1000 friends or whatever. Some people actually think it matters if they look like they know lots of people.

If she's only got 6 friends, then yes, it is odd. If she has hundreds, then who cares?

She has a lot of Facebook friends and I think she would pretty much add anyone to her page, but my point is- if she sees a guy friend of mine leave a comment on my page like "you're hot" or something, and she knows she's only met him one time and it was through me, why would she add him? I don't go to her page and add guys to my friends list who flirt with her. For all she knows, I could be hooking up with this guy. She and I don't see each other or talk that often so she doesn't know every detail of my life. She just didn't bother to ask me for clarification on our relationship before she added him. She's not just some random chick on my page, she's family, and I just think what she did was totally shady and disrespectful.
