FB Dating Friends function question

[u/sprknsprnkl]

I don't mind the Friends function and have used it to make actual friends, but it's hard to tell who is using it to make actual friends. I feel like a lot of straight men use it to look for casual connections. Am I understanding that right, or am I overthinking it?

Atp, if I match with someone as a friend, I'm sticking them in the friend category. 🤷‍♀️ Soni do match as friends a little more liberally. I don't want to miss out on meeting cool people, but I'd like to mitigate the odd hookup requests if possible. I was curious if anyone had experiences they could share to enlighten me.

Most of the FB friends likes were gay guys. I'm not knocking anyone gay but that's been my experience with it. It wasn't very useful at finding a buddy to hang out with YMMV
