Probably because they think you're pretty. I'll send you a friend request to prove my point 😉
FRIEND ME, I'M READY FOR IT!
That's what happens when you're a female on the internet... especially one with a pic... Horny lonely people who are frustrated will add you in hopes of... well you know
On the bright side, you can create an onlyfans and sell pics of your feet and make easy money because yes people are that dumb
Btw, just sent you a friend request lol just kidding
Lonely people attract lonely people and perverts. Just stop accepting friend request from people you don't know and delete the rest.
I don't think it's appropriate to use chess.com in hopes of making a romantic connection, nor do I appreciate the recommendation to create an onlyfans account.

Exactly, that's the best thing to do. If you don't like receiving any friend requests, you can even turn off all incoming friends requests to your account. That's also an option.
And well, chess.com has produced a couple of marriages, so I really can't say people looking for romantic connections haven't been successful. As long as people are allowed to talk to each other abuse, coquetry, and other bunkum will naturally follow.

Is this your first time on the internet or are you just trolling?
Anyway, I'm pretty sure it was quite obvious it wasn't a recommendation, it was just a joke delivered by mentioning it's a possibility for quick easy effortless money.
Also, just because you don't think it's appropriate, doesn't mean people will have to agree with you and abide by your every wish (even though, as a pretty girl online, to have a bunch of simps obeying your every command could be easier than you might think... It's sort of a gift and a curse at the same time, since you also have to put up with a lot of bs).
That's what freedom and democracy looks like....However, Chess.com has plenty of tools available for you to avoid undesired interactions. You can block people from sending you messages unless they're your friends. I think you can have it set so that people cannot send you friend requests, you being the only one who has to initiate the friendship (I could be wrong on this one though, not quite sure). But even if that ain't so you can always reject the friend request. That doesn't make you a bad person.
Either way, best of luck and have fun playing chess!!

I've been participating in online communities for the last 20 years, including several male-dominated ones. I've never been met with a suggestion, even jokingly, that I start selling pictures of my body. It made me feel unwelcome. Chess.com forums are not a democracy. It's a community with rules, including to avoid sexism.

Thanks for the tip.
After joining any social site, one is literally accepting that they might get followed, trolled, judged, etc by random guys...you can limit them at some scale by few golden options available here like block, report, not to accept friend request from anyone, etc... We can’t really tell why the next guy wants to befriend you...there can be a million reasons...maybe he/she wants to play a simple chess game with you...maybe they wants to befriend you cause why not? Afterall they that “add friend” option...Or maybe they are interested in other games probably not legal as they say “Stranger Danger”. Anyways if you add any random as your friend...just stay alert...if not? Still stay alert.

Once again: clearly not a suggestion, nor a recommendation, there was never anything indicating that you SHOULD do such a thing. Also, as far I am concerned you don't necessarily have to sell pics of your body (feet pics are a meme, by the way). I am not too knowledgeable on the subject but I met an acquaintance that said she made some money by tricking thirsty lads into paying her money just to watch her tik tok dances, cello practice and weird robot moves. Genius if you ask me.
As far as you feeling unwelcomed, I truly am sorry that you got offended, that was never the intention but it's a risk one takes when trying to bring laughter into this world. One I'm willing to assume. Now, had I know your interpretation skills were as they are I wouldn't have done so. But then again if you've been online for 20 years on male dominated communities I am positive you've seen worse if you paid the slightest bit of attention, which I am sure you have because it shows on your thick skin and how you speak up. Good for you, really!
Lastly, seems like you got the needed advice here on how to reject unwanted friends requests and block chats from unknown people so there's nothing left to say or do, but to wish you the best here playing chess. But I wouldn't be me if I didn't give my input, so if I may, of course, I'd advise you not to take everything you read so literally.
Peace and good luck with everything
Random people keep friending me. If I add them, they don't challenge me to a game or anything (neither have we played in the past). Why? I'm not famous or even good at chess 😆
