Interacting with guys on social media

I'm really limited on my friends list on facebook and in fact delete people I don't think are good sangat for me. For safety reasons, I never add anyone I don't know in person. I'm constantly having people send me messages, always young men, who want to talk, "marry me", say hi, be my friend, whatever. I used to block people, and I didn't want them looking at my pictures all day. Now I think that was harsh and maybe I should just tell people "I don't add anyone I don't know"- but will even that be a bad idea because it could start a conversation? Or I could just ignore it. Now I feel like I'm being mean so I don't know what's really appropriate. I have four messages in my inbox from young men right now that I dont know what to do about and I don't like it.

update: okay so i tried just saying that I don't add people I don't know, and the guy sent me a message saying that we have mutual friends in common, and he normally doesn't talk to girls, and he sent me a copy of one of my own profile photos (of me wearing a dastar) saying this is why he wants to friend me... This is pretty much exactly what i wanted to avoid!!!
