RE: How to manage friend requests that have accumulated

it's almost an insult to just have a friend request out of the blue.
Or a compliment, but that does depend on the motives of the requestor, which we can't really know without a note of some sort I suppose.
On the other hand, I may send a request to you if we've interacted on the forums, or you simply pen things that impress me, without a specific note.
LOL, unless it's someone that speaks a different language that might be unsure of themselves contacting me in English, I tend to think that those just want to see my pee-pee. My profile says very clearly that I probably won't accept a request without a note.

Oh...also...this is cool...I ended up with a new friend, since Rick also wanted to know about what happens when you deny. We actually have something in common besides nudism, lol!

RE: What's the Point? Here's a new 'Head Shaking' response...

Ok, so were shaking our heads and asking ourselves, ok, what is the point here?

We get a number of people who frequently request friends through TN. Most dont read our profile and just send a request. What is a friend? Why do they want to be friends? What is their objective? This is a good case and point and also a fact of life in todays world, living online. A member here, who, in the past several weeks, had requested to be on our friends list multiple times without any other correspondence, i.e., chat room, forums, messages, and such, and not even knowing who we are, was sent this message by us on TN:

We know that youve requested to be friends numerous times, until youre certified and establish a friendship with us, we wont be accepting the invite. Please read our profile and unless you make contact first and we find something in common, please stop requesting us as friends, ty.

To our surprise they sent back this response which left both of us shaking our heads in amazement. Has todays online environment become so mindless that any request for effort has become too much to ask? This was their response:

Dont worry I wont be asking you again as neither one of you are worth the effort.

Do you wind up shaking and scratching your head too?

Steve, I think we can be fairly confident, that the vast majority of friend requests are sent solely for the purpose of gaining access to nude pictures, (perhaps it should be called " Can I see your pics request") which just shows how dim these guys are, as it's obvious that much more explicit pics, can easily be found elsewhere. I suppose the attraction is, the possibility of being able to communicate with the person in question. The anonymity of the online venue, makes this a very different place to the traditional Sun Club, and we just have to adjust our ideas and behaviour, in order to deal with it.

To some of us, on-line is merely another tool in the arsenal. To others, it's their whole life !
To those two disparate groups, "friend" has VERY different meanings, so it would seem.

How sad is it that some have to have a 'number of friends' to help them with their self worth... Get hobbies, find yourselves, then there will be grounds for conversations and friendships will indeed form....
