That is a problem with Facebook too, I know a lot of women get many unsolicited friendship requests.
I guess it will be a problem with any social network for that matter. Unless you get a totally protected account, like you are invisible to everyone else, except those with whom you want to be friends.
But then for a such thing, email and Whatsapp groups work just fine.
- stevekemp 12y agoI wonder what the gender-split is? I've received numerous friend-requests on facebook from "Hot teenagers", often with messages professing their undying love for me. I've just mentally filed them away as romance-scams, rather than harassment..
- orbitur 12y agoBecause the "harassing" friend requests males receive are from obvious spam accounts with dumb, generic names, while females receive "ur hot" from legitimate accounts at what is likely a much higher rate.
- Joesalias 12y agoFacebook shows page owners metrics like that. 46% of Facebook is "female", while 54% is male. They don't show an "other" option in the admin section, though I think they have that option in profile settings.
- chengiz 12y agoFacebook is better because you can limit requests to friends of friends. IIRC Orkut didnt have that setting until Fb had already won.
