Facebook only allows a maximum of 1000 friend requests in a queue. Anything beyond this places your account at risk of being cautioned.
Method #3: Join a Group
This is one trick to having numerous friend requests in a very short time without much fuss.

If fashion is your interest, You could narrow down your search and type in “Fashion Groups.” Hundreds of groups related to fashion automatically appear in the results.
Join as many groups that look appealing to you. Always go for groups that have thousands of members in them.
Once you’re in the group, post relevant content and well-taken pictures with interesting captions.

Accept the friend requests and boost your number.
