Quandry - How to decide whom you add as friends
Ok, like a lot of people, while getting established on here, I opened the barn door wide and anyone who sent me a friend request automatically was accepted. Now I have a bunch of people on my friends list and the majority of them I have no clue about. Some of them don't even have a profile and at least a couple of them have such a generic profile picture that I'm not even sure that they are really a person.
So, I am now in a quandry as to what to do about this. I have become a little more sceptical than I first was. Also, I now have a wider seperation of field as those of you who have commented on the picture of TBares and us. Now I need more categories of friends. Something like: A) Nudist friends that you are likely to be at a gathering with or run across, B) Nudist friends that will be people whom you feel certain about on the board and C) acquaintences.
I hate to just wipe the board clean and start from scratch, though that really may be the only way to seperate the questionable from the certain. Moreso, how do I know that I would not like this person and that given time we might become real friends and not just a picture in each other's list?
Sooo, I'd like to hear from some others on their opinions about how they select whom they allow to be freinds and whom they do not. I think this also might help others out there, like me, who are sitting onthe fence. Someone help me get the fence post outta my butt?
Thanks

I have said this before, and I know I need to clean house, but I have been denying those that do not have a profile, but guess some can not read or just overlook it in our profile. The profile should be first and formost, tells me alot about the person who is asking to be your friend. I just denied one yesterday as their profile was purely SEX related and no conforming to Nudist standards, and one today as all the guy had pictures of as friends were women and one cpl.
I was going to write up a note to send to those that were denied and why, just not got around to it. Too easy to get on here, all you got to do is take your clothes off and "Hey I'm a Nudist" don't think so, not the way it works, but I would like to know something about the person or persons we are adding, think we talked about this profile thing on another topic somewhere, but I do think and profile will get you in and no profile will get you no where.

THAT WASN'T ME!!!!!!! .........BLOODY STUPID COMPUTERS!!!!!!!
Know what you mean, like my last post I went to send and I copied it before I did then found out I had to sign in again, that sucks, but look at the bright side it gave you some extra posts....LOLHave you seen my blog? .....seems to work, ......I don't have many friends! lol
Where is it Phil/ you got lots of friends
i agree that a profile needs to be filled out before one should request your friendship. we accept requests from anyone with a filled out profile as a friend only because this is the internet. we have had to delete some people as friends for inappropriate comments or what not. we send out friend requests only to those with filled out profiles and without any pics thatseemexhibitionists. although some people live far away from us, never know when we might get a chance to visit thier area and even some that live in other countries where we may never visit at all, we are both very friendly people who get along withmost people we meet. it doesn't matterifa person is truenudist certified, cause all that takes is a pen, a piece of paper and a camera. the wife works overnite, goes to college during the day and besides hermom lives with us. makes it hard to take a picture of the both of us to get certified. we have been to 5 different clothing-optional resorts this year, are members of The Naturist Society and Bay Area Naturists, and have gotten involved in the San Onofre beach battle with California parks both by writting the parks director and donated money to the Friends of San Onofre. i think that certifies us as true nudists more than a picture.
Don't feel bad Phil, I just put together this really cool an witty email to Earl and when I went to "submit" it, I got an error and all my witi-ness vanished. *sigh*
Valley, I agree, but still it is difficult, you want to be friendly, but then you go, ok, there's nothing there to be friendly to... I have begun the re-evaluation process. I am sending each one of the questions an email telling them that I am honored to be their friend, but that I'd like to know what it is that they are looking to get out of the friendship. I guess I'll see how it goes.
Thanks

but look at the bright side it gave you some extra posts....LOL
Where is it Phil/ you got lots of friends
hehe, never thought of that! ......scroll down to the bottom of my profile, it's headed, "MY KINDA PEOPLE"
I'm at that point as well were I'm realizin' that I wasn't meant to friends with some of the people on my Friend List but I haven't been able to figure out how to delete them from my list. I must be blind cause I don't see a Delete Friend button. Where is it?
