Accepting friend request

I have never denied a friend request on mylot. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't though. I guess it would depend on the type of discussions they start and respond to. If I don't think we'll be interested in each others discussions it would be a waste for both of us. But then again I'm a pretty open person as far as what I'll respond to.

OMG yea..in the 2 yrs I've been here I have denied several friend requests actually....Partly because those ppl have nothing in common with me at all and partly because I find having too many friends on your list makes goign through the "friends started" section a pain in the rump..... I've also deleted ppl from my friends list as well..

Omar0913 I used to accept all friends requests but now I am more selective. If a request comes from someone who has never contributed to one of my discussions, or I to theirs then I see very little reason to be friends. I am sorry if that upsets people but I have nearly 20 pages of friends and I now have to strike a balance. P1ke

Yes, I have. If someone's profile page is filled with "business opportunities" and nothing else, I am not interested. I like friends, not salespeople. Also if someone's discussion topics are generally obscene, Then I will also deny them as a friend here.

I denied one or two. I don't like friend requests that come from the blue, by people I don't even know or ever talked to. I'm not appreciative of people only adding me to expand their friends' list, I only accept those that I've talked to in discussions or so

Nope neither do i. I got denied twice when I just started. Anyway, any person who comes into our lives, be the internet or the outside world, is a gift. We are different in some ways, and because of that individuality, we learn from each other. Thanks for the invite.

I have denied people. Especially if I think they may just want to be my friend to spam with with links to other online job offers. I'm here because I like talking to people, the money is just a nice plus. I also deny when they only post in "txt spk" because I feel that since this is supposed to be English and "txt" isn't I don't want them as friends. I also consider if they have any simular interests. If they only want to talk cricket, wrestling and soap operas then we have nothing in common. Now, I do have friends that talk about these things, but they also talk about other things, but if those are the types of things they have listed as interests ONLY, then I'm not going to bother. I also am wary of people who have been here quite a while and have low post numbers - I wonder WHY they are here if they've been here a year and only have 200 posts....

I have accepted all friend requests that I have received but there are several that I have deleted because they started spamming me with business opportunities and stuff that I really wasn't interested in. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt but when they start spamming me, I will delete them. I have too much to do with my time to be answering junk.

I have never denied anyone who has sent me friend requests.I accept everyone from different countries.I get my ideas and help from my friends.If someone was abusing me ,I would find the reason for abuse.If still stubborn i would delete from my friends list.

Truly, there is always a second chance for everyone no matter how bad he may seem to other people. I never denied a friend's request here in mylot or anywhere else. It's just a good feeling to have so many friends from different places.

I never refuse a friend request for teh simple reason that if a person wants to include yo as a friend, he must have read your discussions or comments and woudl be reasonably impressed with what you write. If a person is impressed with you why deny him a friendship? However when I send a friend request, I am choosy. i first see a person's writing and assess it and then purt qa friend request.

no, i have never denied anyone yet. as long as they have not been abusive to me nor have caused me any problem then i will keep adding them.

It's the same with me- i never deny a request here. I believe that it's the very least you can do. I mean, if you later find out that you don't like this person you can simply delete him from your friends list- there's nothing wrong with it. we should give chance to everyone. happy mylotting

i havent denied a friend request. i hope no one would reject my friend request.

Hello Omar, Yes, I have refused 'Friend' overatures here in MyLot, as well as in the real world. I have always been discriminating about accepting friends for two reasons: First, being someone's friend implies a certain level of responsibility. If I don't believe that I can fulfill that obligation, then I will abstain. For example: I typically post on average 2.7 or 2.8 responses per day on MyLot. That means that I cannot possibly visit with all of my friends here on a regular basis. I wish that I had all the time in the world to visit with the terrific people in this community. Alas, I don't. And second, I don't want to disappoint people. If I accept a friend request, I expect that that new friend expects me to contribute to his or her discussions. If I can't do that, they I believe that I have been terribly unfair to that person by having accepted their request to begin with. Although, I've only flat out refused a small number of requests. I've always found it to be rather an exercise in Zen: If someone sends me a pending friend request, I will generally neither accept nor decline. Instead, I will observe to see if I encounter that person in the course of my other activity on MyLot. If the universe brings our paths together, then I will typically go back and accept that person's request. If our paths do not cross, and especially if I have no recollection of ever interacting in the same discussion as that person, then I will simply continue to observe. Does that make sense?

I never reject a friendship request. I am flattered when I get request for friendship. I feel like this people liked something in me that they wanted me to be their friend and I am glad of that.

Yes, I have on numerous occassions denied a friend request here on mylot. When someone requests to be my friend I view their profile and some of their posted discussions and responses. If I see that they have many posted discussions or responses that break the rules of myLot then I won't accept their friendsship. The most frequent that I get are those that are posting referral links to other programs and such like that. I don't accept those friend request.

Hello, may I joint? I never denied friend request. But I don't know, is it needed ask to be friend first then responding?

I turned one down about ten minutes ago. We had no interests in common, his profile page had a ton of links for money sites, and he has over 100 friends, so, as far as I'm concerned, he's just trying to get referrals. With that many "friends" there's no way he's going to read discussions or comments from all of them. I only accept friends if I know I'm interested in reading what they have to say.

Hey,omar,nice to meet you! I have never refuses a friend requests here in mylot.I refused some request in other sites,i don't think someone who sent me a friend request can change their mind,their request seems not friendly,they just work for themselves,and don't wanna to be your friend. I'd like to make friends with everybody who take with a really friend request. Happy mylotting!
