It seems to me that either people are really indiscriminate in who they accept as their 'friends', or the 'randomly selected "people"' were actually other socio bots :-D
- kleiba 15y agoOr people are more likely to accept a friend request when you already share a common friend on FB.
- brc 15y agoI'm guessing the profile pictures of the 'friends' weren't ugly people.
- derrida 15y agoFunny how those stereotypical 'beautiful' pictures found on the internet are usually ugly.
- pmjordan 15y agoI'm sure that's no accident. I suspect they're at the empirically determined sweet spot between 'beautiful/sexy' and 'loose/easy' for the maximum number of people to feel they'd both stand a chance with the person and actually would want to have sex with them.
- ChuckMcM 15y agoI actually got one of these requests and reported it as a scam. One of the reasons I knew it was a scam was because the facebook picture came from one of the stockphoto websites.
- rorrr 15y agoMost of my FB contacts are "friend collectors", they would accept any request. Most of them have 1000+ "friends". I have no clue how they can even remember that many people, let alone have meaningful relationships. I delete contacts that don't post anything interesting after my list grows beyond 50.
