Ciar agony auntHere is a link that should answer your question. If I've understood it correctly it Facebook doesn't just refer those with whom you have mutual friends. It also recommends anyone with whom there might be a similarity, such as employer, location or where they were educated.

my bf gets them too. I think it is friends of friends... or maybe even friends of friends of friends....or maybe people in your area.... it doesn't have anything to do with him. do you trust him? then trust him.

llifton agony auntIt's nothing that he's doing. It's random. And a lot of it is based around mutual friends. either that or probably similar interests.

Half million to be with you??

The "people you may know" thing is (i think) sent to you if you have mutual friends with the person.

I think facebook cross references your friends-list with those of your friends. If a person's name comes up on two or more of your friend's friends-list, it will suggest that you "may know" that person. (Does that make sense?)

Often quite irritating as it's constantly recommending that I be friends with my ex and his new girlfriend.

How do you know these girls are "sluts"?
