what do you think they saw in you? :)

I doubt it's because of my 'cute' avatar. Because I didn't place any cute faces there. Only my tulips. =) There are many reasons why people add people as friends. First, maybe they like the way you respond to things. They like the way you think and express yourself and they'd want more topics that involve you. Another, they might just want to extend their network so that their topics could be seen by more and more people. Another, they could just be really friendly. But oh well, I don't think this is the case for me, since none of the friends I have on my list have ever messaged me about anything, only purely about myLot. Well, those are the points I see as the reasons. But I think it's more because of the networking stuff and the need to have more friends to have get more people to read your post. But if they did add me for my replies. Then that would certainly be well appreciated. =)

that's an interesting post, myles. i think, initially it was largely due to my photo. but later on, when i have changed my avatar to the current one, ppl mostly go by my responses. this i am sure, some of friends have told me thus. then some have sent request as i am their friend's friend and they want a full circle. lol.. smiles...

Since several people have told me my avatar is kind of creepy with her purple flashing eyes, I don't think that's why they choose me. =p I think most of the time people choose me because I am nice, or because they think I am intelligent and write well. I often write long involved responses on topics that interest me, and really enjoy talking about both serious and silly topics. So I think overall I just connect well with a lot of different types of people, since I have varied interests. It's kind of funny for me because sometimes I find out that the people I am friends with here are both more and less like me than I suspected, living very different lives but holding many of the same ideals that I do.

I think mostly its because I have answered one of their discussions, mostly under "discussions with no responses". I somehow attract younger users and not sure why LOL I don't think its because of my sons picture as my avatar either, or else I could be wrong!

I would hope it is for my personality & wit. And the responses and/or topics I start or give. I know my monkey is beautiful, but I do not want to be known for beauty alone.. LOL. I never really thought about it until now, and now I am wondering. Thanks...lol. I don't know why people request me as their friend. I guess I would have to ask them one by one. That would take some time !!

I never figure out. I just notice that most of the people added me after I post response on their discussion or I gave them comment on their posts on my discussion. For my, i made friend request when I notice the member post a lot of good discussion and I would like to be notified whenever he starts a new discussion.

I don't think my beautiful nature's avatar is the reason i get friendship requests. I feel it has more to do with my responses to their posts or comments i make with likeminded folks on mylot. I feel if one makes quality posts are not offensive and come acros as friendly and nice person fellow mylotians are bound to send you friendship requests atleast that's reason i send friendship requests though it is not often. On 2nd thoughts having good star rating might also help. have a nice day folks:)

Many a times I think people request you to be your friend is based on the type of your response and how responsible your comments are, as defines the type person you really are. After that comes the interest and same country/location.

I think that I get most of my friend requests on MyLot because of my picture, my responses to discussions, my rating, and the amount of points that I have. I think that it really depends on the person who is adding you as the specific reason, but mainly I think that it's probably my picture.

i think that mostly i get friend request of those people to whose discussion i reply, especially the new comers, other than them there are many who just like my avatar and so they send a request:) i think there are only few who really liked my discussion so that sent a friend request.:P

I think its because I'm so cute and adorable and funny and nice and cute, and witty, and lovable and cute and great and wonderful and sweet, and good looking and did I mention cute? Ok now that I'm done trying to convince myself lol I would just say if someone has something in common with me i add them.

I think there are a lot of reasons why I always have requests for friends. In most cases, the main reasons are the replies I make. Maybe they like what I replied that's why they request for my friendship. Maybe there are also others who like my handsome avatar. Anyway, all those who requested I always granted no rejection guaranteed.

Most of my friends have been when i responded to there discussions.Also some habe responded to my discussion & i added them as friend.some responses i liked & made friends with them.So there are different resons.I don't care about the avatar though.I don't have myself.

(correct me if I'm wrong) There are two possibilities: 1.) I think that people who requested me to be friends with them, probably chose to do so because I was a funny, witty, popular, handsome, smart, athletic, intellectual, and an all around cool guy. You know the kind of guy that everyone wants to sit next to at the lunch table :) 2.) Either that or they looked at my screen name and thought, "Hmmm this guy must talk alot, I must add him as a friend for it is highly likely that he shall respond to a large majority of my discussion topics, thus making more money for me!".

I have always assumed that most of the people that have requested an invite was because I answered to thier discussions because most of the requests I get are after I have responded to discussions they started . There are a few that are new on here and I get request from them but I believe this is because they are not sure how the site works yet and probably feel that the more friends a person has the more money they will make . For whatever reason it is , I don't mind and accept all requests to be friends . You never know when someone will start a good discussion and you don't want to miss out on it and also having a lot of friends does help you out as in you have more individuals seeing discussions you have started .

I know I request when a response makes me go check a person out. If I find we have interests in common then I will make a friend's request. I do wonder why some people ask me. But maybe they just request everybody on their friend's lists. I do know that some of them are the best about responding to my discussions!

I sometimes wonder that myself. I have had a bunch of requests from people that don't seem to have any interests in common with me, haven't answered one of my discussions or vice versa. I don't even know how they got my name! I approve them anyway, because I like to get to know new people. When I request a friend myself, it's usually because I think we share an interest and either they have responded to one of my discussions or I have to theirs.

Well, I dont know what other myLot users had seen in me by requesting to be their friends. I guess, some mylotters want to add more friends to their list so that more people can participate to their discussions. Anyway, there's no problem for me adding friends who request to be on their list. I also do friend request to certain myLotters when I respond to their discussion and when I see that they are interactive with the discussion and responses that they get. Others dont even get to comment back on the response that a myLotter made.

i think people basically look for others who are active, and make good postings and discussions. I do not have an avatar yet and I have a ton of friends and friend requests. I have found the more active I am, the more friend request I get. The two go hand in hand. cheers,

may be because of my avatar... but that will soon change;)... and may be because of my responses... I don't know... but I think that some of them added me just for me to see when they put a new discussion... so that their chances of getting an response will increase;)
