I keep seeing people adding themselves as friends to new models but cant be arsed to leave even a comment on the pictures, it smacks of insincerity..

I would reply, but I am just so tired...

or more likely, they see potential in the model, but none of the photos may be worth a comment yet. The models may be approaching them, I know I get friends requests from people I don't know.

But they still wanna be displayed as "friends" and so advertise themselves..but not willing to give a constructive comment? I see it over & over..

And another thing thats worse is seeing them tag saying " I loved your work!" but yet they did'nt love it enough to leave a comment lol

I could have sworn that you can't add yourself to someone else's friend list. . .thought you could send a request to be added. . .so is your gripe with the requestor or the grantor of said request?

Some people don't like leaving comments b/c it looks so much like ass kissing.

To me it seems like people who ask to be friends without leaving a comment are ass kissing, just for self publicity!

MySpace is considerably more evil than MM.

What's the problem?  Your/their decision to accept or not.  Besides, generalisations are generally wrong. smile

Perhaps you can elaborate on why this bothers you so much, that other models may be bombarded by a lot of "ass kissing" friend requests.  I may well be missing something here.
