I am curious? Why do you want to be my Friend?

well, most of the people add you as a friend because they think you have the same interest as you do based on the disscussion you have made. on the other hand, they maybe add you of other purposes, mainly i mean for telling you through pm or something. i think those are the reasons.

I think we all wonder sometimes about why people ask to be on your friends list. I personaly only know why 10 people are on my friends list, no idea about the others. Maybe it has to do with people thinking if you have more friends it will add up to more responses and therefore more money.

Well, I requested you as a friend because I had answered some of the same discussions as you, and then I checked out your discussions. After responding to one, I thought I would really like to know when you start a new one, because they are interesting and well thought out. But I have had occasions that it just puzzled me why the request was made. Maybe no discussions started, or something like that. A lot of friend requests I get, I think are solely to add to their friend list so they can get a lot of responses to their discussions and make more money. But I never personally request a friend unless I find them interesting.

I guess some people want to boost their egos by adding you as a virtual friend till they have thousands of them. Others want to make friends to find gf/bf. I treat everyone with circumspect

When I get a friend request I just think it's someone who replied one of my discussions and was looking for more friends. Very seldom is it someone who has the same interests as mine which is the way I chose my friends.

It doesn't puzzle me, in fact will flatter me! maybe they find me good to be with thats why they make friend of me!

I get a handful of friend requests from people I don't know. I usually just deny them. Sometimes I'll look at the profile but if it's someone that knows me from a discussion I remember their name already. I have very few friends so it's easy to manage. I don't want more unless I'm really interested in what they have to say.

i do wonder at times as well, but when i look at their profile and see what interests them etc and i accept everyone that add me as a friend. usually i have seen their name around the discussions.

I usually check the profiles, and see if there is something similar. For some, it could be that they live in the same country, for others, they are similar ages, for others they are interested in the some of the things I am interested in. I usually go to the profiles and press the friend request. Okay you believe in God, you are older than thirty, you are a woman, you are Canadian, and you sound like a nice person. I also love your discussions.

Hello CoffeeAnyone, I get a few people wanting to be friend, I check their profile and see some of their discussions. Then I look at their friend list, see how many they have. Then I go to how long they have been a member. If I like what I see I accept them, I put them on a 30 day try out, if I don't see much in what they discuss or respond, I drop them. Everyone gets a chance, just gotta keep me interested. I personally like it when someone asks me, I finally getting popular, haha. Peace, Totty

It will help too...in fact I approve all their request and sometimes I go to discussions my friends started and get some topics there... So it's not a problem at all...

I have often wondered the same thing. Your name was the first thing that made me think of being your friend. I am a coffee fanatic! I then read some of your responses, as we seem to respond to many of the same types of posts. (I use the term many here loosely, as I am not on here as often as I thought I would be.) I like everything you have to say and that is why I wanted to be your friend. Now, I wonder why people want to be my friend? Very thought provoking post.

Maybe it's a certain fact that we wanted to fill-up our listings.. Well, for me it's one reason. But sometimes I'm inviting someone to be my friend to know him even more, to keep me updated on evry thingabout him. I really don't know, hehe... I'm even more puzzled than ayou are..

Everytime I get a friend request I aprove on them.. I have the understanding that they would really be my frineds and we can show this by merely responding with each other's started didscussion.. Some of my friends now are like that, we respond at each others discussions.. Although some remains to dormant even though I respond to their discussions, but for them they won't even care to look..

yes, i have about 30 friend requests that i have not added yet and i wonder why they want to be my friend...over half of them i am old enough to be their mother!! yipes, why do they want to add me? i find it rather annoying to be honest lol. thanks for this discussion!

I think I have made only 1 friend request my whole time here. That was because I read some of their discussions and felt that we have alot in common and want to keep track of what they were saying. I always accept any friend request I get, because I figure that they found my discussion or comment on a discussion interesting. Maybe they will have something interesting to say. Friends are ok but I only respond to discussions I feel I have something to say about.

Because I love you.lol I think for me its because I liked your comments firstly then I read your posts and desided I wanted to have coffee.lol. No seriously I think for me its about the comments people leave. I will accept if I think they have something to offer. In the beginning I was just saying yes and adding anyone. Now I actually check people out because I got a little burnt. I said yes to this person and they kept interupting my discussions with a paste of there business offer. awwww.

I think one of the reasons for being here on mylot and participating is to make friends. And not just to make friends, but to make friends from all over the world. I always request to add anyone who responds to my discussions or who comment on my response after giving them a positive rating. If the accept, then fine and if they don't, then there is no problem. A lot of people request to add me as a friend too and I always agree to become friends with them.

No it doesn't puzzle me. When I became a member 5 weeks ago I wanted to create a circle of like-minded others. I check out profiles, discussions and responses and when I read things that resonate to me I invite them to be a friend. Then I am assured that when I check 'discussoins my friends have started' I am assured they will be a topic I'll want to respond to. I have found my friend support me and leave their notifyers on to be made aware when I post something new. When I invite someone to be a friend and they either deny or do not respond...I go oh well they have their reasons and move on. Having friends also allows you to send e-mails back and forth and you can arrage to contact each other beyond the wide open Mylot forum. So for me having friends has made my coming on to 5 weeks at Mylot far more enjoyable than if I was flying around on my own. Anyway hope that adds another perspective...just mine of course.

Lots of people add me. The more friends the betetr =)
