Friendship Requests
So what's up with these anyway?
What do you do with them? How do they work?

I think they are similar to ...Prayer Request Hotlines.
Someone wants to be your friend. Embrace that feeling, let yourself go. (You have put that $500 aside for November ...I Hope???)

a friend, an actual real world physical friend, talked me into signing up for something called "goodreads". it's a networking site for book lovers. not a bad place, just not as interesting as here.
now i am deluged with friend requests from what sound like twelve year old girls. if you approve one of these, you're looking at receiving daily updates of every little thought that wanders through their heads i am still searching for a polite way to tell them to keep the hell away from me. i'm a creepy adult, and don't want to read your way too long review of some jane austen novel.

I would move on up to the 14 year old girls - depending upon your state of course.

this forum has a "friends" option?
goodreads seems to have 12 year old girls, and 50 year old women who write like 12 year old girls. and probably chris hanson. nothing in between.

The only such requests I've had are from spammers.
That makes me sad. |

When your 'friends' are logged on, a little '+' appears after their screen name.

Those "girls" are probably obese 50something guys who post in the nude...
