I guess it happens a lot for all - does with me. On my profile I explain my standards for friendship right at the begining. If they request and don't read about me, I can tell. I keep a small groupe of friends and we are all close. I do not accept friends that have been members for a while and NEVER have contributed to site. I also don't accept some because they have a copy paste message to all and are just wanting you as a number for the "MOST POPULAR" contest. I will accept someone new butonly after some messageing. As far as profile goes, I look for areas that I feel a common with me - if they have little or nothing, I will not accept. I am not just a 'number'. I use the same standards as I do with virtual people. I came and joined for the porn but have developed some real friends at GBT. Just know who your dealing with. If I accept and they don't communicate - They get the BOOT/DELETE/REMOVE.

I use to accept any request too, but you are right, it's BIG turn off to see blank profiles...

I usually accept everyone. I like people. Most of them don't chat anyway. :( Remember Russ, you taught me how to put stuff on. (and take it off and put it in.lol) But if someone wants to be friends, at least write something to them once in a while.

for the most part I feel that those who request friends and do not take the time to fill out their bio's are just vacant. you can tell if they are genuine. hey post on your wall and have some sort of dialog with you... take the time to put some info about you if you expect to actually make some online friends...

I totally agree with ismealan, I bet most people here do lie on there profile just to put something on it. I for one would not know the person until I meet them in real life. The same goes with any other site on the internet. Look at Facebook I bet lots of people lie on there profile or even post pics that are not even them seen that before with a friend of mine. However I did get to chat with a few guys here that message me so people can be nice but you will never know. They can say in there profile that they are 20 but then if you meet them in real life they can really be 50 so there no reason really to have a filled out profile to a blank one since no one will ever know what is true or not about the person until you meet them.

I personally would accept any request, and as far as who wants to be friends with anonymous guys, well a full profile can be just as anonymous as a blank one because really, who knows if what you or I put on our profiles is anywhere near the truth? And as for an avatar, really is that something to base a friendship on, whether or not you have a flashy avatar on your profile? I assume everyone is a new friend and welcome all unless over time they prove otherwise. I don’t judge friendship on the basis of an avatar or how filled out their profile is, I base it on my interaction with them, how they respond to me, if I accept a request and never hear from them again, what am I out?

Though new to GBT I'm already ever so slightly put off by just this sort of thing. I mean, if you're truly interested in becoming mates with my celestial self then at least do us the favour of writing a little something about yourself. And while on the subject of requested friendship, why in fact do so many people go about requesting so many friendships? Do they get like a lollipop or a packet of crisps for every hundred or so excepted? I've now five requests pending and as you've stated LAKESCRUISER, there's either no profile proffered or eye catching avatar to be seen. It's almost like being approached on the High St by some smelly old derelict, asking if he can give us one up bum. I'm not a whore for God's sakes! Well of course I can be for the right boy but that's neither here nor there. :o) No the point of the matter is, is that if perhaps these clandestine requesters were to send me lets say . . . oh I don't know, a pictures of flowers (Or mayhap a lovely box of Cadbury's assorted dairy milk chocolates individually shaped to look like a verity of cocks dripping with delicious creamy fillings, then I might, feel obliged to lower my standers long enough to except there offer. Oh and by the by, that is in fact a subtle hint to any really-really cute boy reading this. :oP Mind you though, it has to be a high quality picture so don't think you can get around me by posting some fuzzy image cut out of the Sun or some other such lower class rage! :o) Well that's my little take on the issue. God save the Queen and all whom ride in him. XX Gavin.

I automatically accept every request .. but I am puzzled by who half these folks are, as I've had zero interaction with them on GBT.

i accept usually because like scorpion said i don't want to hurt anybody's feelings but i do wish guys would at least write me something first so i know who they are. I mean i wonder like why they even want to be friends?

yes i know the situation and you are right with your pint of view

yes it does happen to me also, but different then you may think i except them because
i would like to think they are new to the scene,maybe just coming out,maybe scared to
give some of their identity away to strangers, if all of you think back,we have all been
there once in life, always keep an open hand,an open mind,an open heart for a stranger

Yes, I see that all the time. I usually reject guys who have not put up any info on their profile and have never posted any photos any photos or videos. For many of these requests, it appears the requester has never even bothered to look at my profile to see who they are sending a request to. It makes you wonder what "friendship" really means on this site since, even for those requests that are accepted, I seldom hear from the "friend" again after they are accepted and I send them a thank you note.

It happens all the time. I generally post on there wall, that if they want to be my friend, they will have to share something of themselves with me. A few do, and then I will accept them. Otherwise, generally not.
