Facebook.....Do you add people you don't know?

I added an unknown friend on Facebook is usually only for the sake of the game, because we have an advantage in the game with new friends, such as adding neighbors, and so on. especially now that there Wistlist PayPal application.. add a lot of friends, though not known, we can invite them to use that application to get the money.. :)

I have alot of people who adds me based on my background, simply because we all have the same sport, and once you are competing on the international scene everybody seems to know you....

I don't...not on Facebook. Once I've added a friend's friend...but that was also after we interacted and felt we were on the same wavelength. On myLot though, I add everyone who requests. I don't put up too many personal stuff on in here and so I'm not too worried. But my Facebook profile has a lot of personal details and I don't want the whole world to know about it. So, I don't add just about anyone who requests.

I usually add people whose good looking or has a good reputation in playing mafia wars. And I hide them If their post doesn't interest me!

I have 2 facebook. my facebook one, only for people who really know me. facebook while my other facebook games to play, mostly on my facebook to play games I do not know who add me, because I need them as neighbors in the game.

I don't add people I don't know. I don't see the point frankly. You can't truly get to know someone online and what is going on in my life is only important to my friends, not strangers. If I want to opinionate in forum or note form, I go to a website like this where I am pretty much anonymous. If I want strangers to view my photos I will try to sell them on istockphoto etc.

NO i dont add people i dont know, but there have been times when unknown people have approached , but with valid reasons like a common group which i am also a member of and so he/she wants to discuss about something, like that, otherwise i have not added anyone unknown.

I try to limit the number of strangers I add on Facebook. I've added a few in the past, and it's just pretty wasteful if you ask me, because they rarely end up talking to you in the first place. It's like: what's the point of adding someone if you're not even going to introduce yourself and try to build an actual friendship? I guess that's just the irony involved in "internet/social networking 'friends'" - how the majority of time, they don't actually want to be your friend. They just want to increase THEIR number of friends by adding people that THEIR friends are friends with (if that makes sense). I know a few girls who will add literally EVERYONE that shows up on those "suggested friends" lists on Facebook - and have over 1,000 friends. I refuse to turn into one of them. I am totally content with my 110 friends, because I at least know that the majority of them didn't add me just to increase their number of friends. *rolls eyes*

Yes u r right I saw people with 5oo or more friend for heavens sake how can u do it? I only have a list of 45 and I know most of them being a family member, friend colleague etc. But one thing is for sure i cant add people whom I dont know of it makes me feel uncomfortable.

Yes, it does sound really weird when a complete strangers comes on and adds you on Facebook. I don't usually add complete strangers onto my account. I wait till I get to know them better before I chose to add them. I am not one of those people that brags about having a gazillion friends on my account. Because I know most of them won't chat with me.

I think it is foolish to just add people to your friends list to just get your number up! I never add people whom I have never spoken to before. Sure, I have pen pals on my facebook page who I have never met in person, but I do know them and we have talked many times before through letters. I agree with others when they say, there are too many weirdos out there. You really can't trust anyone anymore. There is a lot of information on those pages that someone could use to their advantage. So, I tend to be more on the carefull side on who I add to my facebook page.

Well adam I do know most of my facebook friends.Only a few of them whom I don't really know but they are still in my school.Well oh heck if they are in my school my as well be friends with them and get to know more about them right?Even for me,I'll ask that certain someone whether I know them or not but in the end they won't reply to my question.Haha funny thing is that they know me but I don't know them.Oh well but I know of a friend who adds up random people(mostly girls) on Facebook just to get to know them more since he can't really do it in school.EPIC FAIL!

I never add anyone I don't know- because I don't have anything to say to strangers. Nor do I want them noticing my every comment and being able to see my holiday snaps. For this same reason I don't accept anyone I don't know either.

i dont add peoples than i dont know. most of my friends than i have on facebook, i know them in real life too.

Yeah, I always incline to add people in my list. Because I'm there for creating network. Even if I don't know them personally, I still welcome their interest to be one of my friends. During my vacant, I spent time to establish relationship with them.

For the longest time i kept my facebook for people i knew well only...but then came along the apps....with so many of these you get benefits or perks if you have more people on your "team" or "crew"...and you can send and recieve gifts used in the games to other people on your friends list who play as well. So having more firends equals getting more stuff which equals being able to advance in the game faster and do more things. so then came a game called treasure madness..and i finaly broke down and added a bunch of people from the forums that played as well and were looking for teammates..so i would have to say about half the people on myfacebook i do not actually know. But luckily with the privacy settings (and especially with the recent changes they have made to these settings) i can block all but the most basic of info from their veiwing, and i also have them all ignored on my newsfeed...because i don't really know these people, so i don't feel the need to know about their personal lives LoL...

I haven't really ran into that problem as much on Facebook as I do on Myspace. Usually on Facebook, the people who add me, I know them through friends, family, church, or work, so I add them. I don't usually add anyone I don't know unless I do a little investigating to find out exactly who it is. On Myspace, I get requests all the time and I usually just deny them if I don't know them because I get so many, I don't have the time to go through them. I have learned that a lot of them on Myspace are just spamming me and everyone else, which I hate. Most of the people on my Facebook are friends that I like to keep up with and we all talk to each other on there because it's convenient due to the distance between us.

So far I have only people I went to school with. I have not added anyone else as my friend.

I know every single person on my facebook. I don't do the stranger thing. It's too weird for me. It i don't know you, I reject you.
