We liked the old friends list.. now the favorites list.. we do not open our photos or accept friends request from anyone we have not met, talked to, or at least a courtesy IM introducing themselves..
so many think its like FB here!
We use "Favorites" to remember profiles we like. They could be local, or are in areas we travel to frequently or have plans to travel to. We use it as a way to remember profiles and people we like. Couples & singles that are our Friends are also in our Favorites.
We don't send or accept Friend requests unless we know the people, or have at least had conversations in person, or by Messages, phone, or e-mail. If we've met, or there is established mutual interest in meeting, we add them as friends.
Yet people keep wanting a "like" or "wink" button. Same function as the random friend request or private access request but a different name in our opinion.
We tend to get "friend" requests from people we've never even exchanged any messages. Between that and the request to open our pics that seems to be some option on the phone app, tend to get rejected quickly.
We feel the same way. Friend requests but accompanied by a note of introduction are summarily rejected.
No, it's not just you. I just give people a little time to actually compose a message and then delete their friend requests if they don't.
Using Friends as a "wink" only works if the person receiving it has a similar mindset.
Personally I think it's horribly presumptuous to ask to be a Friend when you've never sent a message saying "hi" - but that's just me.
<p>The Friends feature is two-way. You send a friend request to someone and they are notified and can then accept or decline your friend request. The Favorites feature does not send any notifications and only adds them to a list that is basically private for your own viewing. People on your Friends list are also allowed to see your wall posts, if you are using that feature. That is really all it is used for at this point.</p>
<p>Come to think of it, you could use it as a "Wink" type feature. Send a Friend request to someone to let them know you are interested and they can accept it if they have an interest in you.</p>
The "friends" list was converted to "favorites" but what is the new "friends" list for? We have accepted a few "friends" but there doesn't seem to be any point to it. What is it supposed to do or be for?
Thanks Wayne. I didn't realize I had blocked them by mistake. Those are my favorite people!
<p>Your blocking Couples and Single Females, so none of those will show on your Friends list. Remove those blocks and you will see them again.</p>
My friends list is almost empty. The site eliminated most of my friends and the list of friends recently online doesn't update. If I see a friend's profile, it shows that we are friends, but they don't appear on my friends list.
