I'm curious does anyone else on here get asked to accept someone as an online friend on CD and then get nothing as a follow up. I have noticed that most of the ones I get are women and they have a picture. So I'm wondering what this means. Am I supposed to comment on their picture? I find this weird, If I were in a nightclub and some random women was standing next to me every time I turned around and I was with my wife I'd be like whats your freaken problem. I am always honest with my posts and my profile has MARRIED in it.

Maybe its like a myspace thing - they are friend collecting and they think, "She/He who dies with the most "friends" on a list, wins."

Yup, I practically had to beg sierra, artsyguy and SifuPhil to be their friends and they don't even send you at least a "go to hell" or "F.U." greeting. Some friends I have!

Aaaww, poor kitty! It just comes to show that's not how you make friends... At least I haven't kicked ya out... and won't even after this whining... still something... OK, go to hell now!

At first I wasn't planning to send any requests and only approved the upcoming ones. Then I sent a few, too. Most of my "friends" are people I know fairly well; a few I even met (local ones). Some are newer or less active. I don't care for the popularity contests; some others do... Unless I already think somebody's neurosis doesn't mesh well with mine , I accept the requests. This feature doesn't mean much anyway. My profile is empty and I use invisible mode, so I don't really care whom the info is available to.

I was wondering, I always just click accept but then after looking at the people that ask I find most don't even post much in here. No one that posts here regularly has ever asked so its not the Relationship crowd, I guess its just trolls, I guess I'm just supposed to say, your so hot I think I'll leave my wife of 28 years and my three kids and move so I have a chance with you. Funny really as from what I've seen she will have another 8 to 20 guys that are married under friends.

You must be very selective, Rcm. Just checked and saw you've accepted only one good-looking woman.

People are flaky when it comes to this sort of thing, they add you to their friends list where you just sit there and rot. Unless you initiate a conversation of some kind you'll never hear from them, or sometimes if you do write them they won't write back despite you seeing them online all the time. Then if you ask why they didn't write back they will say because they have been busy, so busy that they found time to be online all day.

Honestly it sounds like you may be reading too much in to it.
Maybe they are just trying to collect as many friends as possible and you are just one of many. It's nice that you rate yourself so highly though!
