Is it appropriate to ask personal questions from FB friends such as "Do you wear underwear always "or “Do you have a girlfriend” ??

The first question is highly inappropriate. The second one is often asked of others whether on FB or not.
 
Is it something you would ask them face-to-face?

Is it a conversation you want read in a court of law?

Then no.

Are these actually people you know in real life? Or are these creepy internet strangers?

There would be about half a second between reading the question and hitting the unfriend button. Goodbye; go away.
 
Come to think of it, I wouldn’t be a fan of the second question, just because of the implication when it’s usually asked.
 
Are you serious? Only creepers ask this sort of stuff on social media.

Stick to posting memes and keep your nose out of your friends’ personal business.
 
I’m about to unfriend or at least, block from Messenger a man I don’t know in RL who just asked me 2 extremely personal questions. 😳

Some questions you just don’t ask. 😳
 
No. 1 is borderline porn. No. 2. FB ‘friends’ are not friends. FB is ripe with inappropriate content.
 
Doesn’t answers to both questions depend on the degree of openness relating to one’s culture? For example it might be easy to conduct a survey on underwear attitudes and habits in an open minded white country like America, but might not be the same in the conservative South Asia,isn’t it?

Christ, when asked said to forgive 77 into 7 (unlimited) times and even asked God to forgive his torturers but how come one, unfriend any person for such a trivial offence in half a second??
 
These are not questions that friends ask of each other. Seems you have random strangers with access to ping you on social media. Lock that mess down.
 
Would you ask the underwear question of someone you only knew via social media? Is that the kind of question you would ask a personal friend?

If not, then what makes you think it’s an appropriate question to ask at all?

And the only reason to ask the 2nd question would be if romance was all you were on social media for. But just because you might want a love connection, that doesn’t mean the other person does.

Believe it or not, many people on social media just want friendship not romance. If you wouldn’t ask your friends in RL these questions, then you shouldn’t ask them of your cyberspace friends either.
 
Seriously? What obligation do I have to be Facebook Friends with anyone on this planet?

Anyone who’s been on Facebook for more than a week knows that they get spammy fake friend requests from spammy fake people just as much as your email inbox gets filled with spammy fake messages from spammy fake people and organizations.

There’s no moral component to it whatever. You categorize someone as spammy and fake; you get rid of them. It’s the same as deleting junk mail from your inbox. It’s an unsolicited message; you have a method of cutting off additional unsolicited messages from that source.

If it’s actually someone you know in real life, you get to put some thought into your decision making. But a person you know “in real life” is probably already going to know your relationship status, and asking about your underwear-wearing habits is going to mark them as a creepy person, unless you happen to move in social circles where you freely talk about politics, religion, and underwear-wearing habits as a matter of course.

Let me scroll through some of my unsolicited messages from spammy fake people… They go like:
“Hello and how are you doing? I’m kinda new here…”
“Dearest friends and family, …”
“my sweet baby nice to meet you my name is…”
“i came across your profile and found it captivating and…”
“How are you today??your profile looks honest…”
“Hi how are you today i’m just fooling around with…”
“ur very pretty i hope ur single plz add me…”
“my name is Mr ___ ___. At first it is a little about myself…”
“Hi beautiful, how are you doing, I hope you are…”
“Your profile pic looks like you have so much fun and I…”
“Am ____ _____ coming across your profile. You look…”
“hello Friend, How are you doing and how is your day going…”

They’re all as fake as scrolling through my email, which has messages like–
“I triple dog dare you…”
“VIAGRA+CIALIS - Confirm your order!”
“Health Coverage in Under 20 Minutes!”
“My dear friend, How are you today? I am happy to inform you that…”

I’ve got email accounts that are old enough to drink. 😛 You learn how to filter information pretty quickly… and those who don’t, end up being pen pals with Nigerian princes and high-ranking generals looking for an honest person to help them funnel money from their war-torn states. 😛
