SoonerGal: And that's what it should be, all about choice as to or not....but really even "if" I was in a relationship with someone on here, why couldn't I have friends on my profile? It doesn't mean I want to date them...anyways why am I even having this conversation I need to be cleaning and cooking
I choose not because of the way gossip is on websites.
init2010: since women started to discuss here, it became a big issue... I know some don´t add me, even when I talk to them everyday. And people who are afraid to have virtual friends usally also don´t have real friends, as they are too scared to show any empathy in public. the only thing that matters in friendship is to respect each other and to promote each other.
No biggie just replying to the thread question.By the way a man washing asking the thread question.
I've got friends in the real world so to speak but it's my reference not to honor any friends requests.
Most people who request friendship with me, and no doubt many members, are people who I have never had any communication with whatsoever. It's quite strange and disconcerting really, and I don't like this aspect of the site.
I do think though that some may like collecting friends in order to make themselves appear popular. A bit like Facebook.

HotrodLarrys: When You Look at someones Profile, Do You want to see about them only?
Do You want to see Several other Men, or Women, on their Profiles???
What if you know half of them as Friends Yourself, and a portion of them you Dislike.... Or Do Not Know???
I have never Put Friends, and Contacts on My Profile... I did not feel that was Public Business who I talk to...
How Do You Feel about this?????
A Curious Mind wants to know!
Nah , it shouldn't be an issue for somebody to have Friends on their profile until the time comes when one's at the relationship stage and at that stage well neither one of a couple ought to need to be on a dating site for dating purposes .

Thank you Ana, I don't care to Be Everyone's Favorite, We are many here with the same Purpose....My hope is NOT to be on a dating Site at all! To Me One is Enough!
jac379: Was that the real issue for you slipping out?
Would you only want to be in a relationship with someone who has no friends?
Hello Jac, And good Question! This is The Question I am Asking!!!!
Should I have 20 Friends here showing, Or Showing None???? You Know Me, what do You think???? I am a little lost in this, Or I would not have Posted It! (Your) Opinion is Appreciated......
I Feel Indecisive!
Does it make you Look Popular? Does NONE make You look Weak???
I have friends on some site. I do not accept requests if they are not my friend or close aquintance. Have to get to know someone better than just a few messages. Guess it isn't important for others to see. I vote unsure

I see a lot of so called "Friends" on the adds I look at. I find it kinda strange that 20 or 30 girls have the same shirtless friends.
Makes me think one of two things...
They are both scammers trying to validate each other's ad... or They are clueless to scammers using pictures from model agencies..
There are two reasons I can think of for friend requests from people you never spoke with. It is the only way they can say something to you, if they can't use message part.. (It is blocked because they are too far away, or one year above/below your age filter.)
If I feel I am close a close match, but email blocked, I will try a friend request..
I just state in my ad what my criteria is for who I am looking for.

It was a bit freaky deaky
Eh, I just delete the requests, no biggie.
