How do you choose your friends in myLot?

Welcome to Mylot. I think you are adopting the right method for choosing friends. After all, you wouldn't make friends in 'the real world' with people you shared no interests with, so why do it on here? I disagree with those who say you should accept all friend requests. To get the most benefit from the friends feature, you need friends with shared interests, whose discussions are interesting, allowing you to make quality responses. As you come to know your friends better, you will find yourself looking out for their discussions and learning more about their thoughts and their lives. In my opinion, that is the nearest you can get to a friend in the real sense of the word, even if you never manage to meet them.

well as for me, i just accept all the friends invites that i get! i am happy that other mylotters want me to be part of their friends list... but for myself, i seldom send friendship request...i send request to those mylotters who respond onmy discussions and that i find them interesting... but anyway, no matter what, i am still happy to have more friends here and i appreciate everybody on my list! have a nice day and welcome!

I don’t choose my friends…rather I am honored that they choose me! what I mean is that I myself don’t send any friend’s request to anybody…all my friends have sent me ‘friend request’ and I have just accepted it. I don’t go thru their profiles or read their responses or anything…I feel its really difficult to know a person online and so there’s no criteria really on which I can accept one friend and reject another. Well, if I see a person who is being deliberately rude to others here, then that’s different of course…otherwise, whoever wants to, can be on my friend’s list.

I myself prefer quality friendships and not just quantity. I do not see how someone can have quality relationships with 300 people. It's just not possible.If you to ask for advice from 300 people, before you know it, it could 6 months before they finishing responding to you.

The above saying may be suits only to our real life. Here most of the members used to accept the request once they receive from some one and also they make request, if they want to communicate with some other. I used to accept all of the requests once I received. But now I have decided to avoid that and I am accepting only if there is a specific need for that if the users are new.Because the new users are sending so many links to our Inbox without considering us.

@ nenuphar: hi.... I've just signed up today. I've got one friend request within 5min of signing up. I was wondering how its possible? Well... I m not underestimating my friend (I've approved). Just trying to be familiar with Mylot. For the past few months (Before signing-up) I was reading the friendly discussions of mylotters. This is how I m here. Hope people here will help me to know mylot better. Anyways, I liked ur point & have the same question. Take care.

I choose my friends according to their post number and if I like his responds or topics.

in reality i don't have a criteria to choose friends in mylot i think everyone here can be my friend...i think it is naturaly easy if you are active here and so you can often discuss many on mylot so naturally you cna share together many othe rdifferent people..so normally as regards friends i don't choose them for some characteristics may be it is naturally when youa re active and so meet many times people here on the community and while you are posting as well... may be sometimes you can be friend when you have some interests and so share your opnion in definite topics or discussions..

hey..i approve you in my friend list..it is nice to add friend and even surprising if they are the one who add you. In my cases before joining mylot i am the one who initiate to add and do not wait for others to add me. It is the way for them to notice you, gt a reply from your discussion and comments, identify the discussion from your friend list and including interesting topics..

Actually I never reject a friend request because I welcome everyone here and I think all members here are friends there is no point in nurturing enmity whatsoever way or name,but I do see the profile so that get a glimpse of what is the main interests and mostly it is easy to communicate directly with people here if they are in your friends list through private messaging.sometimes when I find some one interesting through the responses he/she made to my discussions and while checking the profile I feel like I do a friend request and I have also seen that each one is accepted..cheers to mylotters...But do not be very sure of only good people being here there are mischevious people too..out there..take care and happy lotting.

I usually start by browsing through discussion threads and if a particular person posts something insightful or that I like, I usually take the extra mile by visiting thier profile and sending them a friend request.

i will only accept friend requests from people i was friends with on my old account or people i have interacted with and got to know. if a get a FR from someone who hasn't responded to one of my discussions or whose discussions i haven't responded to i deny it.

hi nenuphar, since i am just new to mylot choosing i was stuck in responding to discussions than making friends. the friends i have right now are those who invited me to be their friend that i accepted. soon, i will work expanding my friends and their extensions to gain more responses and that means more points hehehehe! have a great weekend and more power to you!

Hi, It really doesn't matter who the person is- as long as they make sense. Also, if the topic is of interest me. Truth is- the job and life that I have. If I read everyone's profile- I probley would not talk to a lot of people. "Don't judge a book by it's cover."You might be surprised! I'm new to this site.

I guess I just tell them to add me or they just add me or I keep on running into them during diffrent post's in the forum. So I either send them or they send me a add and thats how I have my friends :) I wish I can have more though! * ADD ME EVERYONE :) * haha Have a good day :) -Kean

Usually, I will choose who to send the friend request to, but not when accepting one. If I receive a friend request, I will accept. Besides on being precise when responding to discussions, I will send out a friend request to certain users mainly because I have read some of their responses and like their writing styles or simply because they always create discussions that interest me.

I think having more friends here is good, since it's increasing our chance to get responses in our discussion and we can see various discussion too in "my friend started" sortie. Friends here not too close or know our private life as in real world, so I approve all friend request I got,,although I must admit that I still check their profile page too,because I wanna know in which country and what' his/her gender. It won't affect my decision to approve them, but I just wanna know. About inactive friends, I personally won't mind about it, since mylot will delete inactive member after 3 months I haven't had hundreds of friends too, because I only 1 month old here.. Sometimes I send friend request after read his/her unique or nice response or after respond to one of his/her good discussion^^..

actually i didnt choose anyone who would like to add me. i accepted anyone. and i also send invite to some of those who participated in my post. its better to have more friends here. someway they can help you. so just go ahead invite as many friends you can and add them all to your account.
