Okay, so you have sent me a Facebook friend request and since days, weeks or even months you have not heard anything. You might even have tried to send me a private message asking "Did you see my friend request?" And you did not get a reply. Here are the 10 possible reasons your friend request is still in the queue.
- You do not have a profile photo. By principle, unless I know you, I will not accept friends who do not have a profile photo
- The profile photo shows off your body. I am Christian and the God I worship does not like nudity. I think nudity belongs to your private life and should not, under any circumstances, be on Facebook, let alone as your profile photo.
- Other nude photos of you. I check your photos and if I see any nude one among them, the friend request is shot
- Your friends. If I see that a lot of your friends have their profile photos on the nude end.. I will not accept your request. Your friends tell me the kind of person you are
- We dont have any friends in common. Especially if I have not met you before. I am just being prudent.
- If you are just arriving on Facebook. The odds are, you may not have learned the appropriate behaviour. If I dont know you, I have never met you, and you have less than 10 friends... I will queue your request
- You are guy and most of your friends are ladies. Odds are, you are "collecting ladies" and most probably, you will be more of a harassment, if not an embarrassment, to me.
- Your profile or photos have an exhibition of violence. This includes guns, torture, dead bodies, any form of degrading pictures of humanity ..
- You are using political swags: Like a president, a political party, an opposition leader or any of these politically-motivated movements. I'd rather be friends with you and not your ideology.
- The friends we have in common are "suspicious". I know which domains my friends come from. So when I see we have 5 /6 friends in common and none of them have a common ground, I will get suspicious. Odds are, you are looking for me specifically, and you have gone round trying to get my friends so you finally land me.
