When I requested this guy I know to be a Facebook friend I had no idea he had over 1,000 friends! How can you know so many people? Why would you want so many friends? I currently have only 42 and that is plenty! It is crazy!

Hello Maybe he sees facebook like myspace and is trying to add as many friends as possible to make his self look big, I know this is what they did at myspace, but facebook is different from my understanding guess he is not aware of this. Thank you.

Well i dont think he do this because of that. I never join myspace, so i cannot comment about that. But in facebook, most of my friend who has too many friend is usually playing games or promote thing. The way most of my facebook games is to given more advantage to player who has more friend playing the games. So to gain this advantage they usually add many other player that they found throught blog or forum. well at least, that what i found out from most of my friend. Thanks

Hello Well that makes sense, I was guessing considering I didn't have a clue, my brother and his wife are members of facebook,I heard about the games they have, its crazy because I have a page but never go to the site. Thank you.

Yes, i think you should try to play the games. If you really like playing games at facebook, you could get very addicted to the game. And then, with out you realising it, you spend hours at playing the game. And you will also start adding friend to make sure you gain advantage at playing the games. Well at least that what i thought. Thanks

I can tell you why.. It's because of the games on Facebook, ie Mafia Wars, Vampire wars etc.. I know this because I now have over 1000 friends myself. When playing these games, especially Mafia wars. you need to have a lot of people in you mafia so you don't get killed often. lol And of course in order to add them to your Mafia - you have to befriend them.. but it is a great way to meet people. Many of the people I have added I have found out i have a bit in common with. Even if they are on the other side of the world. It's a great way to learn a few new things.. I really just started adding "Collie" people, because I thought I could converse with people about why we love our breed of dog.. then I started playing the games.. and I even joined a page called the DOG POUND MAFIA- it's only for users who have a Dog as their facebook picture (as I do) and I have added almost 100 of these people to my friends list in the last month.. and the cool thing is I know that I at least have the love of dogs in common with them.. I see you have a horse picture here.. you could easily join groups that lie horses and befriend people who share your interests.. I met some great people that live in Australia and Ireland and the like.. Maybe some day If i go on vacation to any of these places I may actually get to meet some.. Any way hopes that helps you in your mystery.

Yes, i agree with you reason. I am also a player of mafia wars in facebook, and i also play many other game beside mafia wars in facebook. Most of them really are give more advantage for the people who has many friend in the game. So it is unrare if you c people which has many friend. Some of them actually have two account, one for private use, and the other is for playing game and adding as many people as possible.

Well if it is not about some facebook games. Then maybe it is about Promoting something in facebook. Promoting like artikel in his blog or something. I too use facebook to promotething. Another reason is, he add some people he like, a cute girl, or he just like to have so many friendlist in his facebook. Every body has his / her way of enjoying facebook, so i dont see any wrong of he have so many friend. well at least that is from me

Well, like others have said, maybe he is just going around collecting Friends like a lot of people are known to do on sites like this. Personally I feel sometimes you need to know someone in order to add them as your friend, but at the same time be willing and open to adding New friends on there as well. I have a lot of friends in here, and sometimes wonder if I have too many. But personally my thoughts is Friendship is a 2 way street. And often times even like here, if you are not willing to meet New people from time to time you could be limiting yourself for sure.

I think I am real close to having 500 friends. I don't know a lot of them yet. I am getting to know some of them. It is because I became friends with this one person and then all his friends joined my page. Then each of those friends had friends that saw I was a friend so they joined. It's been like a chain reaction of sorts! Oh well, it's fun meeting people from all over the world.

well i actually have more then 1.000 friend, and it keep increasing every day. The reason is not because i am a famous people that every body search. I actually playing game in facebook, the games called mafia wars. To gain many advantage in that kind of game, you need many friend. Then to do this, you actually had to add other to become your group. Once every other people know you are playing, other mafia wars player will add you. Then in a short time, you will have to many people as your friend. Well, thats it from me.

I don't really think he would have that many close friends. Maby he just adds people that look interesting. or he adds like every single person that he has ever came across in his life. I don't know what the point for him doing this would be besides maby he wants to look like a big shot.
