"There are a lot of people like me, 18 years old and up, that leave their profiles open to the public completely, some are hoping that some people will notice their interests and send them friend requests or messages, and make friends with them whether it's far a way or near. I think it'd be a pretty cool idea if facebook added a search feature where you can browse the people that have common interests by their Likes and interest and stuff, that have their profile set to public purposely, instead of just relying on their mutual friends alone.
Say you click and check mark the new "common interests button", a list of people on facebook that share the same likes, and interests as you and anyone else, that have their privacy settings set to "public" that want people to find them will pop up in your search. This could help a lot of people make more friends that have more in common with them in the future, not just having a thing in common by only mutual friends! ^_^
And I was also thinking about the children too when I came up with this Idea, thought maybe since people are actually letting their little kids (younger than 13) on facebook nowadays, I think that facebook should also add an age feature in the search along with common likes search button feature, where you can only use this feature search on age groups 17 at the lowest and up, that way little kids aren't getting random creepy messages and such from people that share the same interests as they do. Or just plain old pedophiles. Anyways that's my Idea I hope you look into it!"
