Why are so many people not accepting my friend requests on Facebook? Am I not attractive? - Kimberly - 02-20-2014 06:48 PM
I created a dummy Facebook account using the pictures of an attractive girl whose pictures are public. Almost everyone has accepted her friend requests even though they don't personally know her. The dummy account looks real and legitimate and the profile picture is a photo of the girl wearing a bikini. However, I had also friend requested many of the same people with my legitimate Facebook account and they either ignored or failed to respond to my requests. Many of these were people whom I know indirectly or directly. I'm 16 and my parents prohibit me from wearing makeup and provocative clothes. They also don't let me pluck my eyebrows. I'm not very attractive, but I'm kind, empathetic, and generous. Do you think your physical attractiveness is the most important factor when friend requesting people on Facebook?

Oookay they either don't know u or don't like u.
And most guys will ALWAYS accept some ho in skimpy clothes.

Your parents are harsh! Yeah, some people accept friend requests form people who look attractive. i've done it. The biggest deal here is that your parents don't let you wear provacative things or even pluck your eyebrows, which is kind of an accepted part of female society.
Forget about the facebook thing, tell your parents off!
You're probably attractive but no one can tell due to you not being able to wear anything other than baggy hoodies.
Get to college, buy some new clothes, get confidence.

There are different tastes for everything. It depends on how attractive you are OR it may just be that they don't know you. I know this sounds kind of UNFAIR, but in some cases yes. People just go for looks and they will add you if they find you attractive. People these days are just so picky and there is NOT really much you can do there. You just be yourself. You are who you are and your physical appearance can not change for now.

First, who have you been asking? Boys of girls? If mostly boys, and you have been friending them and they don't really know you, they may get sorta weirded-out that you want to be friends with them. The reason they may let the random fake account be their friend is because they are 16 year old boys. They think in a different way than girls do, and they very well may think that because of what the picture shows, they already know the person.
I hope you realize that Facebook isn't the most important thing in the world. The important thing is how you are as a person, and how you act. If people are your real friend, meaning you hang out with them in person, then they will probably already be your Facebook friend. If you consider them an acquaintance in real life, and not a friend, why should you want them to be your friend on Facebook? Also, if they don't like you for who you are, then they aren't worth it. You deserve the best, and don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

idk about physical appearance with people you know...with me a lot of people i knew directly like friends, people i sometimes talk to for a few minutes, or just in clubs (most for clubs did) or whatever accepted my friend request
even if u know them from a club, class, or whatever if u don't talk to them then they might not accept...idk why but the only thing that comes to mind is they only know you from there but as in talking know u no they don't...but obv don't know their reasons
some guys might send you a request cuz they think ur hot, beautiful, gorgeous, etc cuz i go that before a few times
idk if people actually like u or not, find you annoying, etc but i know when some people don't like u or find you annoying they don't want to talk to you or want anything to do with you...what i mean is when i was in high school there was this one girl who went to the same school friend requesting me constantly and one time i accepted but she was annoying so i always de-friended her....then she kept friend requesting me again and again and i ended up just denying it all the time and eventually said she was spamming me...turns out someone in one of my classes during a class convo ended up saying she did the same that to her too and a few other ppl just said she kept requesting them too....so if ur annoying in general or just annoying with friend requests than maybe thats ur answer
sorry its kinda long...hope it helps though
