In the real world, most of us are choosy in selecting our friends. Introverts tend to have less friends and extroverts tend to have more. But are you different in virtual world? Do you accept all those who send friendship requests? If you are choosy, in what way? Likewise, do you go all out to send lots of friendship requests? If so, why? Do you think having lots of friends in Mylot is useful in any particular way? Do you specifically remember your Mylot friends' profiles even at a rudimentary level?

I only request people I've seen around and found something interesting about them. Those friends I remember though I may mix up a fact or two as I learn more. I accept people with some pickiness because of the garbage that's gone on since I joined. Having friends helps you either answer discussions to earn money (if that's why you're here) or so you can keep tabs on those who post things you find interesting.

NO.I dont add each and every friends request i receive.Before accepting anyone i just go to their profile page and observe their activity.He/she should also active at mylot.Generally i dont accept a new comer with 10 to 20 discussions as a friend instantly.I wait and see completing at least 100 discussions to accept because earlier i had some friends with less disussions who have stopped coming here after accepting them as friends.

Well, I do now. I accept everyone. The real person, I have yet to discover. I don't remember all of my friends profiles. But, I do accept any friend. We all should feel welcomed at myLot!

Yes, I always just add whoever requests to be my friend. It's not as if I'm going to meet them in person anyway. And the real reason why I am inclined to have more friend son mylot is because I feel that it helps me earn more money indirectly. like if I start a new discussion they might reply to it. Nothing's proven of course, this is just my belief.

I am not picky at all if someone asks to be my friend I will give them a chance. if however they start sending me spam or junk That i don't want they lose the privilege of being my friend. In Real life i am the same way, I give someone the chance and if they do things that i feel are inappropriate they cease being a friend of mine.

When I first started at myLot, I believe I accepted every request I ever received. I believed it to be the best way to be successful here. In the beginning it was all about the money for me. I soon learned that earning money was not the reason I enjoyed visiting myLot. I had made some friends, I was learning new things and I could always find something that could make me laugh each day and that is why I returned. I do believe I am choosy now in that I try to avoid people who seem to only be here to make money or to promote money making opportunities. I'm here for fun and social interaction, if you are too I will choose to be your friend.

I am here for fun, but a little money does not hurt. But, friend or no friend, I respond in discussions that are of interest to me.

I don't send out a lot of friendship requests. I don't accept all of the friendship requests that I receive. Some requests are just out and out spam. I do remember most of my friends though.

Yeah I accept every request since I figure it dosnt hurt to have more friends. I have never denied someones request and I get a lot of friend request even though sometimes it might take me a few weeks to accept a request mainly because im so busy.

There is always a character hidden in a person. He wants to be someone that he can't be in real world. To such people, the virtual world presents an ideal platform. Some people don't have good communication skills and that is the reason they do not talk to people and make friends easily. For those people, the virtual world presents an ideal opportunity to express themselves. Hence they make friends by the dozen and being one of them, I do accept every request here on mylot.

I accept all of them, but I have never sent any out. I will go back after a week and look at the types of discussions that my friend have started and if they are the typr that I know I will respond to then I keep them and always try to respond to all of their posts. As far as looking at their profile, I have not done that at all. I feel that the kind of things you write reflect more about who you are then any profile page.

I do accept every friend request in myLot. I am not choosy in who to accept as my friend because I think it is rude not to accept a friend request from anyone. I do not specifically remember my myLot's friend's profile, but I do visit each one of their profiles once in while. Anyways, I will delete if a friend if I find them to be rude, racist, and/or sends spam. Those are three types of people I do not like and will not have as a friend.

No. If it is a request coming from a user I have not seen then I will 'investigate' as to why they are requesting me. I might accept later on. I send very few and certainly receiv more than I send. I think friends, if they are really such, are never 'useful' either online ot off. It is not a word I would ever use in connection with a friend or a friendship. I don't 'use' my friends and don't like being 'used' either hence the reason I wait before accepting requests from those I don't recognise. Welcome to myLot and happy Lotting!

You have touched a fine point about 'useful'. What you say is the ideal. But in reality, particularly in the virutal world, some element of calculative-ness can't be discounted!

yes always accept the friend request what i get here. i really dont have time to peep through the profiles of my friends and the maximum is i could just remember a few of the usernames, whom i had the messages from and when i come a accross any of the discussions of my friends here and answer them then i would remember them and i am frequently anwering any of the friends discussion then i think i would be familiar with ones profile for a little while and apart from that i dont think any else can exist. it is all limited to mylotting and i dont think that it is going to matter here the number of friends we have.

hahaha... so that's how I am.. an Introvert--- that is, if we're talking about really close friends... I do have a limited number.. but with people whom I am in good terms with or those who I can hang out with, there are a few... In the virtual world, well... I do accept friend requests from people who I don't even know, out of respect, maybe. It's like, someone's offering you a friendship... You won't lose anything, instead, you're actually gaining something... so why not accept right? But, I'm not that kind of person who would send lots of friend requests... Not that I do not like offering friendship to other people, but maybe because I just don't want to be rejected.. hehehehe So, I only wait for those who would like me as their friend, and be grateful for their add...!

I accept anyone on MyLot who wants to be my friend! I have no problem reading and responding to anyone's discussions, and it is a harmless way to get to know someone here. If you don't end up liking their discussions, you can always remove them.
