222, wow, that is way more than I thought! I probably should clean that list out.
selective... after university deleted all the randoms from high school and uni you sit beside in class and 'friend' - and can't delete in case you end up having another class together!
if we're not friends in 'real-life' you dont need to creep me :)
427, I could probably get rid of 20 or so but I really do know everyone from high school, college, grad school, work and family.
My list is in the 700s I think, but it needs a serious cleaning. If/when I do sort through it, I'd expect it to be closer to 200-300. I'm the first to admit that not everyone on my "friends" list is an actual friend.
I have 395, I know most of them from school, and a bunch are previous coworkers!
I have 550. I recently went through and cleaned it up a bit.
Basically if I can't place your name or face right away, you are off the list.
The majority of my list is people from college. I was a sophomore in college when facebook came out, so I have a lot of "I recognize your face from college" aquaintances on there.
I also post almost nothing on facebook (aside from photos from time to time) so I'm not too concerned with who sees my profile.
@auggiefrog: Sorry I kept trying to add a >100 option but it wouldn't let me. It's on there now.
356, wow! That's more than I thought. I probably should do some housecleaning. My friending requirement is that I have to actually know them.
If a "friend" does not post or respond to any of my posts within a year, I drop them. I do not need fake friends/acquaintances to prove I am popular! I only have 90 and I personally know ALL of them.
I have 122. I’m not super strict as far as who’s on my list but I have to atleast know the person. I will not accept invites from complete strangers or friends of friends who I’ve never met. The only “strangers” that I have on there are a few lovely ladies from WB but I know them well enough to know that they’re not 40 year old men who are living in their parents basements. I had a lot more years ago (probably 400+) but I cleaned out my list after random people started commenting on my status’. If I have to actually think about who you are and where I know you from, you’re gone!
I have 400+ I have lived many different places, so most of my "friends" really were legitimate friends at some point, though there are some people who who are on there for networking, and some people who met me once and friended me.... though in that case I normally unfriend them I'm no longer living in that area.
I have 185. I had over 400 at one point, but deleted anyone who I never talked to, didn't even really like, didn't want knowing my business etc. I never add friends who I've never met. Now it's just people who I care to keep in touch with.
I used to accept everyone. I met you = you were my friend. Then I got a stalker and sliced my list by more than half. I'd say I'm super selective now that I'm older. I have a little over 400. They are all people I would feel comfortable talking with in person, asking for a favor, or people I still keep in touch with even if not on a super regular basis.
I have 34. Some are family that I really don't want on there but would offend if I took them off so they sit there. Other than that I have to know and see you and talk to you all the time. I took all my high school friends off sicne I really did not connect with them anymore and moved accross the country. basically you have to be really special to be my friend!
189 that is family, friends, college friends, and high school classmates. It probably will climb a bit since this year is my 20 year high school class reunion and one of the girls made a page for my class
So, this thread is inspiring me to some spring cleaning of my list right now! I know it's February, but it feels like spring here today. :)
394; all except 1 or 2 are people I know, but not necessarily well.. like people from elementary school, random meetings in college, etc. If people try to friend me and I don't know them at all, they don't get added.
I have 245 right now - time for a clean up, for sure! I knocked off about a hundred last year and it felt better. I find that as I get older, I value my privacy more.
To be honest, the majority of the friends I have are seeing a "limited profile". There are far fewer than 100 people who can actually see my whole page.
In the 200's. I deleted about 25 the other day, and periodically delete others throughout the year. Though I guess that may change with this whole 'they can tell you deleted them' crap. I think it's unnecessary.
112. A good chunk of them are family and close friends. I went through an deleted a whole bunch of aquaintances a few months ago....friends of friends (with a few exceptions), kids in high school that I never said a word to...I decided I didn't care to read their every little thought.
I voted less than 100! I recently did a huge purge of people who i never talk to on it and
Barely know! I am bit of a private person!! However you wouldnt know that being on a public forum!! Lol
almost 700... but I've literally been on it since about 3 months after it first started. (my university was on one of the first they let on.) I occasionally purge people when they pop up in my newsfeed and I neither care about them, and know that I will NEVER see them again, but I've never gone through and done a deliberae purge.
Something like 330? I'm not sure, but I certainly don't need that many on there. I have so many from when it first started from people I went to high school with that I'm not actually friends with. And now I've gone the opposite way and hardly friend anyone. I think I have 11 pending friend requests? It just seems so rude to deny them. So I just let them sit in friend purgatory instead. Probably not any nicer...
I like that! Someone I would stop and say hello to. That's a good way of judging it. Since I don't live in the same town anymore, I try to accept any requests of people I went to high school with, because I probably never will see them again and it's fun to reconnect.

How many facebook "friends" do you have and what are your friend requirements? Personally I only friend people I know from college, high school, family or other close friends. If I wouldn't stop and say hi to you in person, I don't want to be fb friends with you. That puts me at 343 friends, most of which are from my small high school and the 65 people I went to nursing school with.
Are you selective or a serial friender?
