RE:How do you respond?

I ignore them. I figure if somebody is so obtuse as to send a friend request with no information about themselves whatsoever, they're not someone I want to know. I have never blocked anyone, nor felt the need to - maybe because I have no private pictures for people to angle for, orbecause I'm an older guy who doesn't interest most of the odder folks among the membership.

I delete the request. Sometimes, depending on my mood, if it's from a locked/private profile, i'll send a short msg back to them and say something like "why would i want to be your friend when i don't even know anything about you".

I can't see why you need to send a "friend request" in the first place, .

On TN and other social media platforms, when someone you are friends with post something, you see it. You can respond as well. Although, if it is not a group that you are a member of, you should just message your friend your response. One of the bugs here is that Private groups are not that private.

RE:How do you respond?

in the 1st paragraph of my profile, " DO NOT send Friend Requests without exchanging a few messages.".
when i get one of those out of the blue requests. i simply decline and block, for their failure to apply common courtesy.
if they don't glance at the beginning of my profile, then we have nothing to talk about.

I don't get many requests from private profiles, but I get too many from young females who have only been members a few hours and their profile is telling me to contact them on another site. I report these as scams or fakes because I am sure that is what they are. I will generally accept a request from someone with a filled out profile without hesitation but I do check them out before accepting. I do resent that people with private profiles can check me out but I cannot do the same with them.

If it's a private profile I immediately block them. I don't trust a private profile and don't want them to have access to my profile!

When I get a friend request, I first send them a PM. I ask how long they have been a nudist and a little about myself. If I get a replay and we chat a few times then approve the request. If the person has a private profile or one with very little info, then I decline.

I have something similar on my profile, of course that does not stop them since a lot of them do not read the profile, just look at the pictures. I have taken many of my pictures "Friends Only" or Certified Only to slow down the pic collectors. And I always delete the friend requests wit the message to see a website.

RE:How do you respond?

Well at first on here I just ignored them, declined. Over time I've changed my views regarding private profiles. I will send a short msg stating that to give me some information about themselves and to complete "what nudism means to them". If they choose not to reply, then I delete their request. Those that send a reply with info about themselves and what nudism mean to them, I can evaluate them. Granted I don't get many request from blank profiles since have a detail profile (some say I'm rather transparent), they are not on TN for the same reasons I am. I seldom block profiles, not worth the time unless they spam me or won't go away. I've found that there are far more individuals on TN that are good individuals than there is bad ones.

RE:How do you respond? UPDATE

I just clicked on the outstanding "friend" request profile. Instead of saying this is a private account it now reads " this person has blocked you, it is best to leave this person alone". That is a classy way to treat me considering they were the one to send me the friend request....NOT
