  No, people may sometimes treat the friend system like Fbook or Insta. Clutching at straws as opposed to a genuine interest or existing connection. In any case there's no actual benefit per se even for real friends on the site except for seeing their activity on your feed if applicable. If you have appropriate validations or community presence then a friend list may show you as more involved here, but not strictly necessary. Hundreds of random friends like some have, I don't see as any more than alternative "like" of a profile.

  Looks like I fall into the category of those 'too tight fisted to subscribe'. Any helpers ??

  People’s reasons for sending and accepting will be widely varied but I think probably many just don’t understand how the site works..I’m one of them, lol. I have no idea if there’s any benefit to being friends with people on here or why it’s even necessary. People aren’t hard to find, as long as you’ve made contact they’re in your inbox so why be “friends” as well if not just to advertise to others who you’re associated with? Or in some cases that you’ll associate yourself with absolutely anyone and have a ridiculously long friends lists, lol. Then you get people judging based on who you know not what you know...nah, I’m ok with standing alone in this particular arena and just being judged for my own actions and opinions. Their reason for sending the request doesn’t really matter at the end of the day, so I don’t think about it that much.

  We state clearly on our profile that we only accept friend requests from people we know. We still get a steady stream of friend requests that obviously haven't bothered to even read our profile. The 'too tight fisted' doesn't even apply as it's free to message us. We see the friend list as a way of vouching and verifying. We have both approached couples because they were friends of people we trust and know to treat the friends list in the same way as us, and also passed on couples when they had red flag couples on their friends list.

  Every day, randoms sending a friend request. Delete!! I only friend people I know in real life. Its pointless really. I think new profiles who are guests think that its possibly a way to communicate without paying membership? Dont know.But its pointless.

  I actually like to think that it MUST be a competition for some. And I wonder what the prize is? Because I find it difficult to believe that people would think that their “genuineness” grows in proportion to the number of “friends” on their list. After all, does the number of names on a list make someone more genuine than others? Or more credible, or more approachable, or more available, or more attractive? Nope. Therefore I reckon there must be a few RHP bath towels up for grabs. 😊
