Basic courtesy on FB

The more time I spend on Facebook, the more irked I find myself at one annoying behavior. I hate it when complete strangers add me without so much as a hello. It's one thing if we're acquainted through the art world and have mutual friends. That's fine. I love making new friends! But when I have no idea who on earth someone is, why would I want to add them to my friendslist?
For a while I'd send my adders a message asking for an introduction, but after a while I got tired of it. So I put up a nice little note on my public info saying I'd like to meet new people blah blah, but please introduce yourself before adding me. Within the next five hours I received three friend requests from strangers, none of whom introduced themselves.
I just don't even understand why these people want to add a complete stranger. All they know about me is my little user icon and a few lists of my interests. I entered a modeling community when I was a photographer's model, and for some reason got a TON of goth model friends from Bulgaria and Serbia. I was nice and added them, but now I have a friend feed made up of about 25% strangers who don't even speak my same language most of the time. I just... what? Why?
Time for some nuking.
