10 Reasons I Might Not Accept Your Friend Request

September 13th, 2011 - By Renay Alize


1- You’re holding wads of cash in your profile picture

I’m sorry. I can’t. I won’t. Not only is holding wads of cash tacky and indicative of an “ain’t used to nothin’” mentality, money is dirty! Why handle it more than you have to?  And speaking of handling money– am I the only one who’s seen people gripping bills in between their lips or teeth?!? What are you thinking?

    What about people who don’t speak when they see u face to face but want to send a friends request. There are actually 2 types. I had a woman who work in my dept that I would see on a daily basis. She was not friendly & would not speak even when I said hello to her. She was fired and a few months later sent me a friends request. I was like WTF. Then you have the stuck up high school classmate. I’ve seen her several times at the airport in Atl. We have been on the same plane going to our hometown 3 times in the last 5yrs. She always turn her head & pretend not to see me. Yesterday I get a friends request. I called my best friend from h.s. We had a good laugh. I was like hell to the naw

    Again with the word “ratchet”…

    LOL, agree.

    Don’t turn this into a Black thing. It’s a common sense thing. Certain behaviors from people trigger past instances in your mind, so you can decide whether or not to accept them on your page. I think you need to lighten up a bit…

    Typing like yours would get you deleted from my Facebook page immediately.

    Oh, God.

    Number 7 is a biggie for me.

    Call me callous, but I get to tired of:

    “He broke up with me, I just wanna die.”

    “Brokenhearted in Georgia”

    “The Lord is going to help me get through this pain because I found him with my best friend.”

    WHAT! Are you SERIOUS?

    Not appropriate for Facebook, not appropriate for ANYTHING but your paper diary.

    Point blank.

  • Dare Not Say

    So glad I don't have a FB account or even use FB, or Twitter or anything else!… :-)

    How about:
    - I have no idea who you are.
    - I do not like you.
    - I only know you from work/club/etc and we never soclalise.
    - You know someone who knows someone who you believe knows me (yes it is similar to the first and third items).

      That's defeating the entire purpose of Facebook. It's a personality-driven website. It's meant for people to interact with each other who otherwise might not have the chance to (colleagues who have separate lives, acquaintances, people who want to get to know you, etc.). Wow. I see no issue with people using it for dating (which is just socializing) or professional purposes (promoting a business venture; no marketing = no revenue). In fact, Facebook because of its WYSIWYG approach is miles better than Match.com, eHarmony and other wastes of money. I'm all for paying for dates and gifts, but not to meet megalomaniacs.

    I agree with all the above… Dealing i.e., utilizing "Social Media" doesn't require 'rocket-science' just some "common-sense!" Take 'Facebook…' You want tp be my "Friend" yet you've never met or seen me? Yeah… RIGHT! Then there's "TWITTER!" Follow! Follow! Follow! Follow! Follow! The "following" of someone for the (THAT) age old reason "POPULARITY! Hopeful 'you' will be "popular" by what?" It gets mental! Degenerated, Twisted and Sick! By NO means an "I" an angel… For "ME" it begins and ends with a single word, "POSITIVE." Someone who has something to SAY, something to CONTRIBUTE… To OFFER! Rather than the constant sell! It's smack of narcisstic-selfishness

    You have a pretty long list of judgemental garbage. Learn to accept people for who they are. You might get more than 10 friends on facebook

    • LovelyStones

      I don’t agree.

      Employeers, Universities, EVERYONE checks Facebook statuses nowadays.

      If they were to look on your profile and see foolishness like that, it may be enough to not hire you.

      If they see who your friends are, they might second guess bringing you on board.

      Birds of a feather and all that.

      That’s not to say we can’t be friends outside of cyberspace, but no, I’m not friend-ing you on Facebook.

  • girliusmaximus

    THANK YOU for that. I was going to post that.

    Also, there is nothing "ungodly" about using 4-letter words. Really. There isn't. That's just stuffy Church Culture nonsense talking. The commandment is "Do not take the name of the Lord in vain", not "don't use words that might horrify stuffy Aunt Martha."

    You can say 800 F-bombs and it's not insulting the Lord. But when you pretend you speak for Him, when you don't, when you've just made up some stuff YOU like and want to SAY it's "from the Lord", you're taking the Lord's name in vain.

    Or when a bunch of people get together in a circle and do this: "Oh, Lord, we just, Lord, we just come before you, Lord, today, Lord, to tell you how happy we are, Lord, that Sister Whatever got her new car, Lord, and, Lord, we just want you to know, Lord, " etc. etc. etc. etc. Jesus doesn't like it when people are loud and showoffy about how religious they are.

    I'd rather hear 100 honest F-bombs than 1 dishonest "Hey Lookame! I'm HOLY!" silly time-wasting public prayer.

    I found this amusing (I assume that was the purpose)…l as I found myself heading to facebook to clean up my “friend” list! Thanks

    Ha hah could not agree more. Just don't accept their friend request and move along. By posting an article like this, you're doing the same thing that some of the people you accuse of drama are doing.

    • girliusmaximus

      Right on to both of you!…. You can guess where all the thumbs down came from on allblue's post can't you?

  • Dmenace

    Like everything else people miss use things, Facebook was made as a means to keep in touch with your friend, family etc. Now you have people trying to win a popularity contest … I have one rule that I go by.. if I know you in real life then you are on my Facebook page, simple as that, just like before Facebook you had people who said i have a lot of friends but yeah they where all online friends… those same people now use Facebook and do the same thing.

    • Guest

      I’m the same way..I have a VERY small number of “real friends”…all people I’ve known for a long time or are new friends that I talk to regularly.  My rule has always been if we don’t speak in real life then you ain’t findin’ out my business on FB!
