When the "friends" option first hit theses sites, I noticed many requests contained sexually explicit photos. Yeah, sure the material is interesting, but it's not anything I care to associate my name or reputation with.
However, I took some of your advice and accepted a number of new friends (all of them). A few have been genuinely interested in my profile, and I have met some really nice members. But not one has inquired about the sale.
I think the jury is still out on whether serious buyers insist on seeing your profile as a precondition to contacting you with any questions. Keep in mind they can already see some of your stats like Honor Payment info, how long you have been a member, and there is a contact seller button.
The poll numbers are really low. Remove my vote and it leaves four real voters. Hardly enough to claim "80% of of RJ members agree..."
Perhaps it's just not interesting, or the poll appears to have a false pretense.
Thanks to those who voted, and I really appreciate everyone's opinion. Keep em coming!
