Facebook Friends?

Lifestyle Relationships
1

Am on FB, and receive friend requests from various people.

I keep my FB minimalistic as possible. but am active on various FB groups.

How do I respond to a FB request, esp when i do not want to accept the person, as we do interact on the various groups. I know i do not have to respond etc, but i would like to give a halfway decent message , that I do not accept request blah blah blah.

Thanks!

Re: Facebook Friends?

My rule is if I don’t know a person and/or have not met him in real life… he/she shall not be in my friends list. There are some people that I know and have met/interacted with them but still I did not accept their friendship request.

If you need to give explanation to them… then say that you have only family and close friends in your friends list.

Also keep your profile information as much private as possible. In our lab we work on social networks analysis and you can track/infer too much personal information about a person from his/her facebook profile. Sadly it is something we all are giving out willingly. All it takes a motivated person and he/she will know everything about you.

Delete request then block them.

Can this be done in reverse order also?

Thank you kindly

You can say something like “Thanks for the request but unfortunately, my FB is for family only. All my family knows this, and thus, they often post pictures/comments/personal info. that are private and meant for family only. I would not want them to feel that I betrayed their trust which is what will happen if I all of a sudden add a non-family member there. Thank you for understanding.”

BTW, make sure your friends list cannot be seen by anyone who is not on your friends list. :slight_smile:

For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction!

As we are already on the subject of FB, I’ll take the opportunity to ask a question.

Okay, if a girl were to add/message a guy on FB and she seems decent and doesn’t look like a psycho would you as a guy add her or be interested in chatting to her? Same goes for Instagram if a girl were to follow you.

Re: Facebook Friends?

try and make your fb profile as private as possible! Ive done that to mine as not a lot of random people add me anymore.

although the new feature of fb annoys me where even if your profile is private, your profile picture can be enlarged now, whereas before you had the option of enlarging it only for friends. :confused:

OMG. Hair on fire.

Has anyone ever read Facebook privacy statements? Pretty scary thing. They OWN all material you post. Let that sink in.

Only add people who I know, I don’t know how to not offend my rishtaydaar i.e my mamoos/mumanis …My mom’s first cousins (1 cousin had 3 wives within 5 years - all three wives wanting to add me)?
Uff it’s like 500 people who my mom is related too… :naraz:
