Friend requests

I often wonder what prompts people to send a friend request. What's the point if they don't then interact? My about Me says to leave a message otherwise I will probably ignore the request. Clearly people don't read it. So, what is the expectation if they don't give some idea of why they want to be a friend &/or don't engage? I deliberately keep my friends list short. If there is only limited contact early, I delete.

They want high numbers making it look like they have a lot of friends.

@Wiseacre some, definitely. I had a friend request from someone here. I asked her why she wanted to be friends & she admitted to wanting to increase her numbers. she blocked me to F off when I told she would stay in the followers list. I'm only inyterested in quality friends.
