Ok, like a lot of people, while getting established on here, I opened the barn door wide and anyone who sent me a friend request automatically was accepted. Now I have a bunch of people on my friends list and the majority of them I have no clue about. Some of them don't even have a profile and at least a couple of them have such a generic profile picture that I'm not even sure that they are really a person.
So, I am now in a quandry as to what to do about this. I have become a little more sceptical than I first was. Also, I now have a wider seperation of field as those of you who have commented on the picture of TBares and us. Now I need more categories of friends. Something like: A) Nudist friends that you are likely to be at a gathering with or run across, B) Nudist friends that will be people whom you feel certain about on the board and C) acquaintences.
I hate to just wipe the board clean and start from scratch, though that really may be the only way to seperate the questionable from the certain. Moreso, how do I know that I would not like this person and that given time we might become real friends and not just a picture in each other's list?
Sooo, I'd like to hear from some others on their opinions about how they select whom they allow to be freinds and whom they do not. I think this also might help others out there, like me, who are sitting on the fence. Someone help me get the fence post outta my butt?
Thanks
Jerry

Thanks Jerry[/quote] hehe, me either, I got it right once, then messed it up trying to add to it. Now I can't get the name shortcut to work without all the code because the code disappears when I try to edit it, and comes back after I hit save :( So now I just typed the name. I can still click on the pic to get straight onto their profiles so it doesn't really matter. I notice that is not the case with your friends pic. Don't know how you managed that, hehe, all I did was to copy and paste the pic and it worked. Still, life would be boring if we understood everything :)ReactReply - SY
SydneyBeachBumNov 18, 2010I started accepting everyone but I'm a bit more discerning now. Worry about people looking for sex.

DesertRatNov 18, 2010We are rather specific as to who we will accept as friends. Our first requirement for getting on our Friends List is if there is a reasonably good chance of meeting in person. We don't want to have a lot of "friends" who we know nothing about and with whom we have very little in common. We are seeking mainly couples and single women. We have a few single men as friends but every individual is evaluated on a case by case basis. We reject all friends requests if they have a blank profile. If their profile is limited to Friends Only we write and ask for more detailed information. If that is not forthcoming, we reject their request. Of course this is a two way street. We have had several Friends Requests rejected and still don't know the reason why.
From time to time we have had several friends who do not meet our basic criteria. These are people who live in places where we've never been and most likely will never visit. We have had an interesting dialogue with them and learned much about their homeland. Right now I'm sad to say we don't have any of these types of Friends. We love to have a few of these International Friends again.ReactReply
