Is it just me . . . Why do people . . . on Facebook

Is it just me  . . . Why do people send a friend request on facebook and then have everything hidden? 

Yesterday, I received 38 friend request on facebook. Twenty six of those friend request were from people who lived a hidden life.What do I mean? Their profile was hidden. If you were one of them let me help you out.

When I'm looking at accepting a friend request on facebook, I start with the following process.

First, I look at the name. Since I do public speaking events, I don't recognize every name.

Second, I look at the profile picture. If you were sitting in the 7 row and didn't ask questions, I might have a hard time recognizing your picture. Now if you're creative and have a logo or family picture, I'm going to have a really hard time recognizing you.

If I don't recognize your name and picture, I will then go to your info tab. If this is hidden, I will then go to your wall. If that is hidden, how will I know you? 

Next, since I have a lot of friends, I like to keep them organized. If I don't know what you do, where you live, how I know you, then how am I going to know what group to put you in?

Ok, you say just add a personal message at the beginning. Great, that is a great idea!

Unfortunately, less than 10% of the people who send me a friend request do that. 

If you want to be my friend on Facebook, please help me out by hinting your identity.
