Why am I getting unsolicited friend requests and how to prevent them?

You probably did, or would have sooner or later.

Do I have to be solicited to ask to become a friend? 

I have two Chess/com friends currently, and we have pretty well zero contact. That is OK. I hate to turn people down and seldom reject a request., and after a few weeks I mostly cancel them. They never seem to notice they are gone.

Why even cancel ?

If I hadn't, I would have had thousands, and my front page would be cluttered.

But, let this not discourage future requests, and very likely you will get the OK.

The topic,  I have been getting "Out of the blue" friend requests from people I don't know and haven't played with.   How are they finding me and how can I better filter who does and does not reach out / try to connect?

Imagine not knowing who @drmrboss is lol
