This to me is almost a "DUH?" statement, but I 100% get that many send FR without bothering to see if info is in the info tab.
I also check before accepting a FR even if a message was attached. Much easier than having to go back later to delete. Although that can be done. (and I've barely been a member 24 hours and have learned this.)
Like many others here, I only friend people that I've had some contact with and might actually be friends with if we were anywhere close to each other. Profiles are a way to help get to know someone, which is the whole point of social interaction.
I have no problem with responding to a message or chat, but if someone sends a friend request before ever contacting me otherwise of course I'm going to check their profile. Unfortunately too many people online think it's normal behavior to send a friend request to random people.
Thanks to all who have commented on this thread.
The reason I started it was because, when I'm in chat, I get PMed from various types.
As we are down as a couple, I always make sure that who ever PM's knows it's Stevie not Lorna chatting. This has the unusual effect of making some peoples computer blow up, because as soon as I tell them that they never say another word.
So I decided I would chat with my cam on.... this worked out, not better but differently, when my cam is on I get PMed (and friend requested) by men who's profile says they are Bisexual. I don't care what peoples sexuality are, but it's clear from my profile that I am in a relationship with a woman, and I haven't expressed any interest in blokes. One guy even asked me if I was home alone tonight, and when I said I wasn't he said that it was a shame. (wonder what he expected me to do if I was)
