Hi Desert Rat

I don't show my face as I really don't wish people who I might know that I'm a nudist. OK silly you may say but I'm sure that my emplyeers would not be at all happy. As a receptionist it maybe difficult for me if some idiot has seen me somewhere.
Also I notice that you have no face pic that one can see without becoming a friend. OK each to there own but before I add someone as a friend I like to have some idea what they are like, I'm sure you don't look like a tree! If we were friends and we had exchanged some e-mails and photos then at some stage I would show my face because I would feel that after a time hopefully a trust is found.

just do what I do - decline all friend requests. Not sure I understand the point, so I can see when they are on?

I agree with you Dee and CheriDonna - I do have my pics set to Friends only though, and I reject 90% of the friend requests I get, most are blank profiles, set to private, or not certified, I am getting pickier and pickier about who I accept any more, I'm not in a race with anyone to see who can collect the most friends...

We posted this in another thread a few days ago (the one on Blocking), but it really fits here better:

We added a code word to our profile and reference to it in several places. It would be hard to read the profile and not notice it. We state:

"NOTE: Very few on this site read profiles before sending friend requests. That makes NO sense to us. If you want us to accept your friend request, please: - Send us a message - In that message or subject include the word ###### If you don't we'll assume you're just looking to collect pictures or add names to your list."

So far its worked very well for us. When a request/message come in, we know the person has an idea who we are and what were interested in, and we get the chance to have alittle interaction with them too. YMMV

I am having this same issue, i have some of my pics set to for friends only, and i think that is the only reason they want to be friends! NO they do NOT read the profile, as currently mine states, no longer accepting any friend requests, i still have a bout 120 in my box. I am not interested in having a huge "friends" list. I just want to enjoy the friends i do have.
Just my thoughts XX Kate
