This is one of the many reasons I don't use Facebook.

You didn't answer my question. If you add "whoever" to your FB site, which means you obviously have no concerns about who sees what, then you have no business worrying about what ANYONE posts there, in my opinion.

At least it gives guys a heads up on psycho women. If used as a tool it could be quite helpful in weeding out the women who can be problems.

I dunno, maybe its me, but it seems like facebook creates more problems than anything. I mean I can understand families keeping in touch with pictures, etc.... who are hundreds of miles apart, but certainly not someone within your own vicinity.
FB doesn't create the problem. The problem is that like much of our other technology, it really requires a little common sense and forethought for it to be a productive tool.

It's called discretion. Sure it's cool, everybody's friends, buddy, buddy...as you get older you'll see the differences in people and how they interact in groups and who gets to know what about you...

Well, good luck!

And there it is. The OP needs to learn the meaning of this word. The sooner, the better.

FB is kind of a joke, I have some friends of mine who constantly leave comments of every single detail of their lives - it's kind of annoying. I might check FB once a month if that and I never get involved with all the games and crap that is through FB like Farmville - WTF is this anyway? LOL I delete all requests like this from my friends... if they haven't got hurt feelings over it yet then it can't be that serious.

Weird. I wouldn't delete a comment like that if a guy sent it to me. The only comments I delete are ones that were offensive or mean spirited. I thought that since he has a million people on his FB and is always on there, it wouldn't be such a big deal to leave a comment about seeing a movie and drop off leftovers. In fact, I would love it if a guy left me a comment like that. I regularly talk to people in class and friends on FB through wall comments. I don't think they even delete comments. There probably wasn't going to be a 2nd date anyway.

Ever hear of getting too comfortable too soon - it smothers the other person.

I always clear off my FB wall. I can't stand clutter, so I clean up my wall daily. Maybe the cupcake guy does the same.

So did you delete him from your list or are you going to continue "monitoring" the comments left by others?
