Protocol For Requesting A "Friend" Request

I joined 4 weeks ago and I have 24 friends. I check out there profile and see if they discussions that are interesting. Usually it is a mixture, so there is almost always a few that I like or some that I think would be ones to try. I approve most who ask.

I always look at the profile of the member who is requesting my friendship. Sometimes I accept and I wait and see if the person has nice discussions. I always have the option to delete if I feel uncomfortable with him being my friend. I make requests to people I like, if we have the same interests, if I like the way he/she "talks". I guess those people who have 200 friends add me them just to add. Having more friends mean more answers to discuss and that helps earning more money. If you have 10 friends you'll probably have 10 discussions a day from them to answer, more friends mean more discussions and more discussions, more money.

Well for me- I pick friends by interest. A friend to me is someone that will post discussions that are quality and interesting to me- I want to be able to respond to them- After all that is what friends are to me- I will always look at the persons profile before accepting or denying a request- I don't judge by the number of posts but by the quality and interest level. But that is just my opinion.
