<p>To the female pic thing I totally agree. My gf is very good looking and almost everyday she has friend request from random dudes at school. When she gets on Facebook she is like I don't know this guy or who is this? but she adds them anyway (whatever!) and she has tons of friends on facebook she doesn't know. the one real creepy thing she tells me is dudes she has class with, but never talked to will try to add her. like these guys hear the prof. say her name and then go to add her. some guys are a little more aggressive up north too. </p>
<p>most girls have more friends on facebook then guys. It is what it is.</p>
<p>I only add people who I actually had a conversation with and who I get along. I'm always hesitant when someone adds me as a friend who I barely know regardless if they're in college or high school; if they're in high school I wait until they're in college or have graduated from high school to press that "confirm" button (I'm still annoyed that Facebook is open to everyone now - COLLEGE kids ONLY). Heck, I know a girl who's still in high school who has more friends (about 125 from her h.s.) in three days...not to mention all the stupid applications that are on my friends wall.</p>
<p>What they need to add is a music add on. They do have one now, FINALLY, per say, but it needs to play when you get on the page, not something someone has to click on. Myspace does the music add on right, facebook needs to copy that.</p>

Hmm dunno about that.. It gets kinda annoying when you're flipping through people's pages and you get 10 seconds of Hilary Duff, 10 seconds of 50 Cent, and then 10 seconds of Marilyn Manson....</p>
<p>"Last year before I went to college I added a few random people and when I actually met them it was really awkward and we never ended up talking anyway."</p>
<p>I also added people, and when I met SOME of them at orientation, it wasn't really awkward in a normal sense of awkward, we were just like "Hey, facebook friends, hahaha" and then we just carried on the normal "so whats your major?" conversation and what not.</p>
<p>However, it was pretty weird, I was walking at orientation and this girl looked at me and was like "I've seen you on facebook!!!."</p>
<p>Either way, it doesn't bother me, nor would it "ruin" any potential friendships with said people.</p>

If it was so annoying, then people wouldn't add music to there myspace. Myspace can suck though, because its slow at times.

This is precisely why Facebook is better. People don't add music to their profiles on myspace thinking others viewing the page will like the music. S/he adds the music to their profile because it's the music s/he likes to hear. What most people don't realize is that it's really f-ing annoying having to listen to music you don't like on every profile you visit. Not to mention you can go on some profiles and not even read the text because some people are color blind.</p>
<p>I've also had the experience of random people from my college adding me on facebook, and when I approach them and say "hi" or whatever, they never respond. It's really annoying and sooner or later I'm gonna start removing these type of people. </p>
<p>I wish I could only keep close friends and some good acquaintances as friends on facebook. The rest I don't care about much but don't want to remove them either because its rude.</p>
<p>Not to be a grammar nazi, but their. Their car is not over there. </p>
<p>And I have to disagree. People add music to their MySpace for three reasons. There's the 1) "Look at me, I am so "with it" that I am totally on top of the music scene, and this new Nickelback song just speaks to me man, you know?", or the ever popular 2) "My girlfriend of 6 days just broke up with me, and I'm so crushed that I feel like I should kill myself, but I'll put this guy who sings about depressing things with a whiny voice on my page instead," or, finally, the "I'm so indie I listen to songs that haven't even been written yet, let me show them to you."</p>
<p>I don't want to load your page to write a friendly message and get a mashup of my Oasis mixing in a most ungodly fashion with your Brittney Spears. That's just not cool, you see.</p>
<p>Don't add someone you haven't met, it makes you look desperate and pathetic. Only add people you haven't met if 1) they're your roommate, 2) teammate, or 3) from the same area as you.</p>
<p>Befriending a lot of people on Facebook isn't going to make you Mr. Popularity when you set foot on campus.</p>
^^ Totally agree. Last year before I went to college I added a few random people and when I actually met them it was really awkward and we never ended up talking anyway. Now I'm transferring to a different school and will not make the same mistake.

lol i agree. I know this guy that added me on both myspace and facebook because of my prom picture or something. we talk to each other occasionally on aim and facebook, but when we meet each other in real life, we don't say anything. I've even been to his house for a party (that was the first time we met each other but he didn't recognize me because it was dark) and even after he realized it was me, he didn't say anything. he only told me later on facebook that he recognized me and i was like.. ok...</p>
<p>BUT i did meet several people on facebook that i'm friends with now (including my old roommate that I met here). So see how it works out. Like my this one guy i knew knew my roommate's friend, etc etc.</p>
<p>It's kind of telling when somebody has over 300+ friends but none of them ever talk on his/her wall. Not that wall posts are any kind of measure of popularity, but they should at least be proportional to someone's friend count.</p>
