No. Many of the requests are from oviously fake profiles, porn sites and prostitutes, scam artists, etc. And be careful, because many will be from friends already on your list, and their account was hijacked, and someone made a duplicate of their page. Always check before you accept.

No. I look up their profile. If we have no mutual friends, if they're not in real estate or local or something that we have in common I don't friend them.
I have a real life friend, an agent in my office who won't friend me on facebook because our business is too similar and he's afraid a client might see he's friends with me and then work with me.
We've discussed it many times.
We have different philosophies about social media. But there are many agents that won't be friends on facebook with their real life agent friends or colleagues in the same office or market. I'm not that extreme.

No. If I've had no interaction with them prior and I don't know them, it's highly unlikely I'll friend them. And that's true especially if it looks like they're in a real estate supporting business that looks like it'll just turn into solicitation (VA assistance, web designer, etc.). And even if I have interacted with them, if their public wall is nothing but political posts (and I don't care which party they support), then it's also going to be a no. Bill

No. If I know them, then yes, I will accept the request. If I don't know them, I'll do a little research first. I may or may not accept after that happens. I've had some weird requests!

Not at all! There are many who are 'friends of friends' that I do not acknowledge, and see no obligation or reason to (hope that doesn't sound harsh!) Hella Mitschke Rothwell. True, I have friends who are gamers and not people that I have ever met or expect to meet, but we do follow each other and support each other, and now, not in games. I'm not looking for or needing a 'cast of thousands' as 'friends'! How about you?

No, I don't automatically become friends. I check them out before accepting any friend requests. If you scroll through my friend requests, I've got a lot of men with photos of women plastered all over their wall. My husband has a lot of women friend requests with men plastered on their wall. Lots of scammers out there. So, be careful before accepting a friend request!

No!! I'm geetting a lot of spam from "good looking" men. I search "about" them and here is no profile, then I search for their "friends" and they have none, or they are all women.. They are "catfish" as far as I am concerned and I delete them immediately. If I find however, they are someone who has friend in common with me, they are realtors, mortgage lenders, stagers, etc., then I will accept them.

No. If I don't know them, or we don't have a common connection, I don't "friend" them.
5,868,554
Absolutely not, only friend those I know. And have to be careful someone did not hack their personal pages and created a duplicate.
4,319,419
Hella Mitschke Rothwell - I definitely investigate who I am going to friend with.

Not automatically. I'll check them out first to see if we have any mutual connections and to see if they are legitimate. There are a lot of scams out there.
509,449
No, I don't. I would try to find out who they are first. Some are men seeking relationship so no thanks!
3,383,334
Oh heavens no. In fact, I'm about to go clean house, or set up restricted lists.
417,221
No. I have almost reached maximum 4900 and hardly open Facebook
For Linkedin- if they are a lender I decline, if I don't know them I decline, if a recruiter, I decline
