At the risk of upsetting a few I was wondering how often this happens to everyone out there. Everyone that knows me even in the slightest is well aware I'm a friendly guy, but almost without exception, when I get a friend request it's usually someone asking me for upvotes.

I gotta ask... What's the deal with that?

Does someone actually believe that works? Hitting up a complete stranger and asking for stuff does not seem like a sustainable strategy to me. Listen, I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, I'm simply attempting to wrap my head around this whole thing.

Lately, I've been trying to give some of my "potential friends" the benefit of the doubt. I've been replying a little more, mainly in the name of science of course. As it stands today, about twelve of the last private messages I received on discord where upvote requests with one is still "pending judgment".

This last interaction may have been contaminated by my short replies. I should know better, that is not how you science, consistency is a must, but patience does have a limit. I'm laughing a bit right now, because being a guy this type of thing probably happens a lot less than with the ladies and here I am complaining to the internet about something so trivial. To be honest, I'm mostly amused by the dynamics of it all.

Lets have some fun

What is the weirdest way, the funniest way someone has approached you asking for upvotes? Let me know, best responses get bigger upvotes, screen captures are definitely encouraged. Maybe we can break the internet a little bit with silliness, that would be a good way to welcome Friday night.

Ready....

GO!
