How do you pick your myLot friends?

I learned the hard way not to just accept anyone. Now, I thoroughly check out their profile and also discussions they have started and responded to. I approve most but I have hit the deny key several times, too. As for who I choose. Sometimes they simply wrote a response I thought was funny, or wise, or anything of that nature. Many of my friends have similar interests, kids, faith, etc...but not all. Some have simply been where I am now and vice versa. Faith is important to me, however I have requested and accepted friends who believe something else entirely...and I thoroughly enjoy their posts and responses. And that is what it comes down to- if they make me laugh, make me think, make me cry (in a touching way...lol), etc...then I am happy to have them as a friend.

I don't pick the friends on mylot, I sincerely send a friend request to mylot user, and I accept every friend request from mylot users. Of course, I accept anyone who wants me.

I have only been an active member for about a week now. I haven't denied anyone. To request a friend, I look at the profiles of people that have posted good responses to my discussions and request them, if it looks like we have some things in common and I would be able to respond to their discussions as well. The first thing I do is check my friends new posts when I get on-this way there's a benefit to having me as a friend! LOL :)

I have been there about 3 weeks . I have 10 friends ,I pick up a few friends if we have common interest and we like to discuss,I will pick up as my friend , but most of time , they pick me as a friend , I ' feel happy and I would like to share my opinions ,and welcome everyone pick me as your friend .

the only person i send a friend invite to was a person i alredy met in a diferent site, other than her i dont pick friends, they pick me, i accept every friend invites that i receive

I just started on this site yesterday so I haven't had too many opportunities however I adopt your philosophy that I will accept anyone who requests me.

Till date, I have not had any restrictions in accepting my friends. I accept everyone who sends an invitation. Also I don't think I'm choosy in picking my friends too..If there are same interests while readig a response, I invite them to be my friends..Other than that, I have accepted eveyone's invitation to be my friend.

Well for me, i really don't pick my friends. If someone invited me as a friend, I just go ahead and accept them. The more friends I have, the better. It really makes no difference whoever you choose as a friend here in mylot.

Hello Sue, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I generally accept anybody that wants me. the ones i request is someone that i enjoy reading and responding to. I promise that several i have requested has ideas poles away from the way i think but i really enjoy hearing reasoning so different from mine! Then again i have friends half way around the world that think just like i do! It is amazing and really makes you think about how alike we all really are!

Hello SusanLee, I pick people that have had several discussions that I responded to. To me, its not so much about what we have in common but if you find their discussions interesting enough to respond to, you might like to see more of their discussions(for me anyway). Tianna

Same here. I'm so far accept anyone who request me as friend. Haven't deny anyone yet.
