Why do some messages show up in messages (inbox) and some show up as message requests?

Does anyone know? I have no filters (ages, genders, etc) selected, and it make no sense to me at all!

A message request is usually from someone not in your friends list.
Once you have replied they will go into messages.
Friends messages go into the messages inbox.
I think that’s correct.
And first time messagers will see the note you have left for them if you have done one.
