Advice about Facebook friends?

This question is more for the women of WA but I would also love to hear the guys thoughts.

As recomended I have made my business facebook page public and so many of the likes I get are from men who seem to be wanting more than just to connect on the business level, if you know what I mean. So far there has been no inappropriate stuff but it feels kind of creepy nonetheless!

So my question how do you ladies and men deal with this. Do I just ignore them, unfriend them, or reply?

I would un-friend them. I do this all the time when I feel they are just there to spam.

Cheers!

Thanks Eddie...sure some want to spam but then there the creeps {shiver}

I would just block them creeps too.

Report them as spam, un-friend. If it was my wife i would say they would get a very to the point reply of what she thinks of them!

Replying will cause more problems...don't do it!

Thanks dch1959. I'm not quite so bold. I find it all soooo creepy

I use FB a lot for my actual friends, but I've decided to not set up any more business pages. They don't reach many people, are hard to set up, are annoying to your friends, etc.

Thanks tropics67 that's why I set up a completely different fb page so that I wouldn't bug my 'real' friends about my online business because most if not all would not have any interest.

Well I've only joined Facebook and other social media websites for business purposes. It's sad that some people come there with a hidden agenda. Thankfully I haven't experienced that type of nonsense (fingers crossed I don't).

In any case, if I did get accosted I would report/block the user.

thanks Starrlett

Thanks for the post. I haven't had this problem yet but now I know what to do when it does. Best of luck

Thanks Dawn and hopefully you won't have to deal with it!

Report it as spam its Your page i have a group and they have to to be control by me before people Can post there at all

Okay thanks

This is why I loathe FB. It has become a cesspool. I have yet to create a business page. I wont until my site is finished, but I do have a personal page, and needless to say the people on that page are only people I know in real life. I'm not like some of the psychopaths out there whose personal pages have thousands of people as "friends".

If people on my business page when created start acting weird I will block, them, delete them, whatever it is you do lol.

Thanks for you advice. I now know what to do

I haven't gone public with my Facebook account. However my google plus account is quite different. Definitely creepy stuff that I had to report. Blagh!

It's nuts that's for sure....sometimes I think I'm a little too trusting ...haha

I just block them if that's what they turn out to be about. I am disappointed by how many there are on FB really. Skype is much worse, but Facebook comes in second for "pick-up" social antics. It's really frustrating at times, and probably makes it one of the reasons I'm not a big fan of FB.

Hear! Hear! I'm with you on that. Thanks for the reply.

Hi there, I'll resist the temptation to say half your luck, lol! Seriously. Reminds me of the story I heard about a local unwordly Nun who titled a post on her Facebook page, 'Single, sassy and 45'! As a byline into selling life as a modern day Nun to young women looking for an alternative career path. She had to shut down the page because of all the unseemly offers, some of which I don't think we're even quite legal. I know that's no help at all. I'd say, delete and block and definitely do not reply. Peace Bethamy.

Thanks Bethamy...hope the nun found another way to increase her flock!
