When you send a friend request to someone on MyLot, Do you go through their entire profile to see what they are all about? Do you just skim through to see if you share some of the same interests, or do you just click the add friend button?

I usually will look through there posts and see what they post on here. And I will also see if we share interests and opinions.

I actually haven'y invited someone to be my friend in quite a while but I usually just go by the quality of a persons discussion or the way they responded to something I said. I rarely actually go check the profile. I've been lucky so far as I have a lot of good friends on here

Well, I do check out their profile. I know some just automatically accept the friend requests. I look through at least two pages of their discussions, and sometimes I even look at their friend list. If someone on their friend list is on mine, and that poster is really straightforward, then I am more inclined to feel better about accepting them.

I like to see how long they have been a member verses how many friends they have. Alot of members like to just collect friends. If they have over 100 friends and been here for less than a month, they are collecting, I will deny. I also look at discussions and responses to see if they are worth adding. I don't like to add if they don't have quality discussions and responses. I sometimes, not always look at their interests, they might have some interests that I like but don't have in my list. I don't get very many requests, so I don't really worry about it too much.

That's a great point! I wouldn't like to be "collected" either. I am new here, and had a few requests when I signed in today. I only accepted one of them, and they have a ton of friends. I would much rather feel some kind of connection. Thanks so much for your response:)

The only times I've sent a friend request is because I enjoyed their topics or their comments that I read on other people's topics. I don't usually read much on their page, but like to check their new discussions fairly often.
