lol, I can't help but laugh at the sillyness of this thread. The whole purpose of the feature is to start the networking process. The person who continues said process is...well thats a case by case basis.....btw op, there are many males who send friend request without a word also, photogs as well as models do it. I love when it comes to ranting in forums females always seem to be the root of the problem in the mind of the op.
and puhleeeze people with the shy excuses...
sorry but as a shy/reserved/quiet- whatever you will like to call it- person myself, using shyness as an excuse for sending a friend request and not saying anything is annoying and quite frankly, this is not the industry for you if saying two sentences over the net freaks you out...what would happen in person?
and if the shy excuse were to be valid, then why would they send a friend request in the first place?

I said in the post that it was male and female, hell I even said Male first but you probably think I listed Male first because I think we are superior.
If you can't get over the silliness of the post then why did you crawl out of your hole to add your three grains of wisdom.
God, the next thing you know is you'll acuse me of saying if women didn't have a snatch there would be a bounty on them.
And women do the FR game because thats the kind of stuff women like to do and I'm sure the minute number of Males that do it are exploring thier female side.
And why is it if someone in this shark tank wants to voice an opinion all these sanctamonious fence riders can come up with is, you have too much caffine, your panties are too tight, and take a vacation?
I don't drink caffine, I dont wear panties, or underwear at all for that matter, and if I go on a vacation as one poster put it, I would certainly find somewhere more entertaining than that cesspool Cabo.

You see a profile of someone's work..you like it..you add them. I don't see the big deal. I don't need a hello from people that like my work or a thank you for the add or anything like that unless they want to. I don't need a reason, obviously if they are adding me they want to follow up on my work and perhaps work together in the future? I wouldn't take it so personally, it's the internet. Networking isn't so bad, right?

no one is forcing you to accept 350 requests.
and like you said, people who accept them are just as bad.
way to go
people befriend people on this site to self promote as their main goal. The more Friends lists their on the more photogs will come across their profile. If it were lavalife, it may be a little different.

I feel dumber for having read so far into this threat... but I guess I am one of the "whores"... although adding one as a friend isn't tagging really... sucka!
I add people and accept people as friends simply for contact organization. It's a way for me to have a separate category from favorites, and is also sort of an ice breaker... they see my add and they look at my port. No need to make some bs conversation until I actually have something to say. So from a contact point of view... having lots of friends makes perfect sense...
Anyone who doesn't like the system can either advise me a better way to organize myself on the site... yeah... I thought so...

I have accepted more friend requests than I have actually put out. I don't put out friend requests much. I felt like maybe there was a reason they were adding me. Future work? Projects? Who knows. Now it has gotten to the point that the people I actually talk to on a daily, weekly, monthly or even bimonthly....is hard to find on my friends list. There are members that are no longer on this site that are still in the list. Obviously, it needs to be cleaned out!
My point is....this MM is set up for networking. Now, I do agree that some do it for popularity contest, but there are those out there who don't and are just nice and approve because they think that maybe something will come of it eventually sometime.
By the way....any way we can talk Tyler into making those little boxes in the friend's list so we can go through and check multiple people at a time to delete them? Sort of like how the friend request is?? Or the mail system? That would be so much easier to clean out instead of doing them one by one. I had started to do it at one time...and because of system being slow and doing it one by one....I got frustrated and said "forget it". That would be nice though if there was an easier way to dispose those out of your friends list who no longer need to be there because there was never communication between the two.

When I first joined MM, I saw a way to network with a group of
people that shared a common interest.
It seems to me that there are a few issues here that has to be
resolved. Yes it's not right to request someone be your friend
without commenting first, But lets all just do what we came here
to do and that's meet new people to expand our careers and goals.
even if it to ask some stranger to be your friend. Maybe that person
has what it is that you are looking for. I accept all friend request.
If I can help someone with exposure here by being on my list. Then I feel
my job has been accomplished.
Nothing is perfect in this world, and that goes for this site as well.
So let's all just try and get alone, and stop making others who are
trying to grow in there careers feel like they are not worthy of a friend
here at MM.
Damn!...............Shawn M.

I don't send out Friends Request left and right myself but occasionally I would come across someone's portfolio that is quite inspiring to me and that is when I send out a Friends Request as a means of letting that person know that I like his/her work and style. But that's just my own personal motivation. Granted a lot of members probably don't like receiving Friends Request but heck, it doesn't really cost anything does it? so why be snotty about accepting someone's Friends Request unless of course they think my profile is really that gross and gutwrenching that they don't want to be associated with me by any means lol I do honor some members' specific request on their profile not to be tagged or invited as a friend. oh well no use crying over spilt milk

I know that networking is more than just a handshake, a once in a blue moon phone contact etc. There are people I have worked for since day 1 that I still keep in contact with from time to time.
And you are right...all part of networking. BUT...I still want to delete the people that are no longer here on MM. Grrrrr
