Why would someone send a facebook friend request to someone they don't know?
I confess I have no idea why someone would invite me as a friend when they don't know me. I'm not taking the title "friend" too literally, mind you, but it still seems like something you'd reserve for people you actually know, whether in person or online. It's like the roommates I had in college who wanted to see some photos I had, even though they didn't know anyone in them. Makes no sense to me. I accept very, very few friend requests. I've just had 2 blind ones, one from a friend of my brother's, and one now from a TOTAL stranger. This seems to be commonplace for a lot of users, but I ask again...
What reason would someone have for sending such a request?
It was a simple question. After the explanation, it was just a simple question. This just raises another question, why do people respond to questions when they don't really have any answers? Of course it's no big deal, I merely wanted to get some insight into why anyone would even want a facebook friend that they don't even know. It's hard enough to keep up with the ones you do know.
