When choosing a friend what is your priority

I think I accepted most of those who have requested me to be added on their friends list, whether young, same age group as mine or older than me, except for just one, who I think is a spammer. I like to read, learn and get the points of view and ideas of different kinds of people. Whenever I want to add a friend, I would first respond to their discussion and see if they comment on my response. I like friends who live comments on responses that have been posted on discussions, although this is not often the case.

I am rather ecclectic when choosing friends. Sometimes, I think I have this life theme where I tend to try to save people. Sound weird? If I see someone who I feel is in need of a friend, I will be the first to befriend them. I guess I get reminded of how I felt when I was very young and standing in front of a new classroom filled with kids, wondering if I would make friends, if they would be nice, if there would be someone who was mean to me, etc. I feel at home helping others, so I tend to radiate toward someone who appears to need help. Don't get me wrong, there are some people who I just find totally interesting or intriguing, who I would like to know more about. On myLot, that's usually the case. If I read a message where someone gives some exceptionally poignant advice, or seems to mirror my own thoughts, I will request a friendship with them or accept their request. I'm also open to all trains of thought. If I see someone who gives a good viewpoint that may not be like my own, it is in how articulately they explain their point of view. I think there are so many different types of personalities in the world and each person has something unique to add. It sounds corny, but it's like a recipe. Each person has something to add to make life's experiences better, happier, etc.

Anyone who wants to be my friend is very much welcome. Who am I to refuse right? I'm really grateful to see someone wanting to be on my list of friends. It is really sad if nobody wants to know you better.

When adding someone as my friend, my top priority would be his gentleness in behavior. From the outset one can judge a new acquaintance whether he/she could be added as a friend by his/her fine manners. the refinement in behavior could very well be opted as a prime quality in establishing friendship at a primary level.

I'm the type of person that gives everyone a chance to prove me in one way or another. If they prove to be a wrong choice of friend then I'll drop them or I won't hang out with them in a daily friend basis. I can't be mean and ignore them but I won't be the huggy type either but rather keep my distance.

i see sweetness of somekind in them and thats it. and i confess most of my friends on mylot are girls. naughty but becent apple.

I pick my friends with the time in the real life. First i have to know them well to see if they are really friend like someone who will be there when you need. In mylot, i have a list of friends but none of them are! Let's call them "known people".

I look for friends who contribute helpful and wise advice. I look for friends who offer kindness and positive information for others. I always Like a great sense of humor. I really like friends that are trying to be helpful if someone has a problem. There are some wonderful friends here.

Hi Robin! When I request someone to be my friend, it's usually because they have posted an interesting or intriguing discussion that I will be happy to respond to. I also choose people who have the same or similar interests as myself, and age or gender doesn't come into it. I'm after their mind, lol! Also, if I see someone is new here and needs a helping hand, I will request them as a friend, and try to help them to get established here. It's good to build up a good network of friends, because then you can support your friends' discussions and it makes it quicker for us all to reach payout!!

when i'm seeking my friend, attitudes of a person is one of my priority.

today i read a message that explains what the friends are. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. there's always going to be people that hurt you, so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around. how many people actually have 8 true friends? hardly anyone i know. but some of us have all right friends and good friends. i am so eager to have good friends who could understand you. when you are happy, you could share it with her. when you are sad, he could help you out of it.

well friends are friends right but the number of friends you have 50% of it goes to the people who doesn't like you, i mean it is normal for a fifty fifty state because its a norm. got it

i think it's first to feel ok about him or feeling his kindness if he was kind u can feel better about him becuse at least he wount jump over u and hurt u but if u felt wired don't get closer keep away !!

As far as friends on myLot go I don't actually pick too many. When I first started I didn't have a friends list other than my daughter for a month. had lots of requests but never added them. Then it started. HAHAHA! I now have 310 or so friends here. A majority I have come to know, love and trust a lot as far as their opinions and thoughts etc on their issues or on mine. I choose those that appeal to me and appreciate the sense of humor I have. I tend to get funny even with the serious issues as that's also how I deal with life in the real world. Cyber friends are also a possible real life friend if one allows it to grow then transpire into more. I've many friends I've met from online and associate with to this day. No real oplans on how I pick friends. Friendship happens is all. Thanks for a great topic. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Find a friend today isn't that easy and I don't think i am picky.I just need somebody who I can talk to, who underastand me, with who I can have a lot of fun and of course if I can share with them.Not only happiness but sadness also.But this in real life, no on internet.it s probably very complicated to have friend online, but I am sure , you can find friends there too.Here my priority is suportness and if somebody encourage me to do something and also trust is important.
