Friends in Facebook

I think there is nothing wrong with that. I myself have more than 1300 friends there. Well, not all people there in my list are actual friends. However, i take the time to get to know them better one by one.

I am not comfortable having close relatives as my friends on facebook. I do not accept people i do not know as friends. It should not be a matter of competition. I think our privacy is very important and i would never be comfortable if someone i do not know comes to know about my personal life.

It happens a lot on FB. There are a lot of people who have many friends, but do not actually know, or even talk to, most of them. There are people who go through and friend all the friends of their friends, seek out everyone who attended their school and friend them, and then, of course, there are a lot of businesses that count toward the friend count. I think it is a competition among some people. The over sexualized pictures are common, though atleast for the most part, they are not as distasteful as yahoo was many years ago.

I have seen a couple of friends who are acts the same as your friend. I really freak out when I see them putting up in their family tree people who aren't really in the family. I don't even understand why should they do that.

Personally I do not add FB friends that I really dont know in real life. As I post personal stuff there like pictures, status that are really happening in real life etc. I want those things to be privately shared among real life and trusted friends. Unlike here in myLot, I make friends even w/ people that I do not know because I am basically not sharing any personal info here.

I am with you I probably would not agree with what she is doing. Plus I do not think Facebook should be use like that. This is site is for people we actual know. It is not a competition for who has the most friends. Why should it matter?

Well, as for me, I only add people who are either related to me by blood or whom I have gotten personally acquainted with. I do however, have friends who I haven't really met yet but have had long time been friends with online, just a few of them. I guess some people are just happy to see that they have so many friends in their social networking accounts or are proud to hear compliments of them from others. It's probably okay as long as they don't get themselves at harm or harm others in the process.

Yes, a lot of people thinks adding Facebook friends is a competition, the more they have, the cooler they are so they just add all random people to show that "Oh I have more friends than you, I'm awesome!" But I think those people like those social networks a lot, they chi chat on the internet with strangers and stuff.

I have over 300 direct family and acquaintances in Facebook and will not add anyone I do not know at all. In fact I get so many suggestions from friends to add this and that person and I always message them and tell them, look this is not a competition sweetie as I am not looking to add anyone I do not know. I do find that I want to share my personal business and space with people I do not know. So no you are not exaggerating one bit dear, as I too find that those who continually add for competition purposes are the ones who are over exaggerating your their membership with Facebook.

hi there xxj3ffxx!!!! I don't think that making friends in facebook should be a competition.I think people should only add a person to their friends list in facebook if they really know them well and if they are sure that this person can be trusted.And I also think we should be careful on the pictures that we are posting in our profile coz this pictures can be edited and reposts and be use in things that can ruin our image. Facebook users should be responsible in every activities that they are doing in the site.As much as possible I really limit the people who can interact with me in facebok coz I don't want me and my family's privacy to be at risk.

I have seen this before, and I don't think it something new. It's often kind of famous television people. In Denmark we have a TV program called "Paradise Hotel". When I go to their profiles I see they have about 1500 or more friends. About the sexy photos, then I think it's okay. If people want to show it, then why not? Personally I prefer to only have the friends I know i Real Life and not anybody else.

for me , I would not make friends with the one who has so many "friends". nothing about envy,just dont wanna be ignored as we all know under the situation he couldnot treat all his friends equally. I wouldnot do that like your friends. I believe only good friend can share all with me. and they could not be too many. the others are common friends, colleagues etc. I would definitely not make such a big friend circule.

I don't have that amount of friends. Most of my friends are previous work colleagues or old friends from previous place. I do have other friends which I didn't met personally but added them because we share the same game that we play. We get crazy sometimes. And maybe, just maybe this person that you're talking about just want get more attention. Other people's attention might be giving her some kind of satisfaction. Posting sexy pictures will just make things worst as we should be aware that once you posted photos on the internet it becomes a public thing even if you set your privacy settings. Some gets in trouble by doing that. It would be a lot safe to keep everything on Facebook on its minimal level. As one of my friend's says "Facebook... full of drama". I can't blame him saying that because others just post their status about everything that is happening about them. Like, breaking up with someone, being sad, even their frustrations. :/

I understand your opinion about that facebook friend. In my case, I only accept friend invites if I know that person, but I also know of someone who just keeps on accepting even if she doesn't really know that person. These people may have different reasons for flaunting a lot about themselves on Facebook. Some people desire attention and want to spark curiosity from others. It could be that the number of friends that one has is seen like a status symbol for popularity or something. There are also individuals who want to catch other's attention and be the center of it.

My opinion is that you should only have friends that you meat in real life, and, obviously, she have other friends. The picture you are talking about is ok, i have friends (had) who was half naked on the pictures (1500 friends)
