Choosing friends on mylot.

I turn no one away, anyone who friends I immediately add. I was new too almost 3 months ago and I came here with no friends of my own. Some are so new that they really post discussions with little meaningful quality, but it gives me great joy to assist and guide them in the right direction. I spend a lot of time online trying to earn my next buck so I do not have time to scour someones whole history and find out what they are like. I suppose if someday some irritates in a way, well then I can hit the big orange button called delete. Thus far though I am enjoying everyone on my friend list so keep the discussions coming as this hardworkinggurl is ready to respond. HA!

I never choose a friend on Mylot. I accept anyone who asked me to become friends.

I don't equate friendship with somebody following or connecting to my account. That would just complicate my life especially my online activities. As a programmer, I see myLot and pretty much any website as a collection of webpages with hyperlinks. Friendship is another thing entirely. I don't need to associate webpages or accounts to my friends and vice versa. Friendship is more about bonding than hyperlinks. Anyway, I accept all "friend" request here at myLot because it's easier than letting the requests accumulate. P.S. I do screen out people I don't know or total strangers at Facebook. There, I see people rather than webpages or accounts.

I reject quite a few who request me, and have never added anyone myself, although I have no real reason for this other than apathy. I won't accept requests from people who seem to have randomly added me (no previous discussions answered, never talked to, never seen post) or those who have a bunch of religious stuff in their interests because I'm not interested in having people convert me. I also made that mistake in the past, and my 'friends started' section was flooded with discussions regarding how lucky they are to have god, thanking god, etc. As long as they don't fall into one of those categories, I add them.

Hi Absinto. I usually am very choosy. Yes, I do go through their profiles and their discussions to know how they think. I do not add people who have not even posted a single comment or discussed a single issue. Will add people as friends who have similar likes and dislikes as mine or something which i found interesting in them or the way they think.

hi there, since im new here i just add them whoever want to be my friend.

i generally check their profiles before i add them.

I just add them, whenever there is a request for friend. Frankly I only sent three friend requests so far, after checking their profile. I look for similarity in hobby and country of origin.

I have only added around 3 people.. When I seem to have a lot in common with someone, or I like the way they explain things or something, I will add them. Other than that I don't really have a system down for choosing friends. If someone adds me then I accept them.
