Here in mylot, I always accept friend request because all of my friends here were those that I just met here. Only few of them whom I know in person and they are presently inactive. But in facebook I rarely accept friend request from strangers. I only accept friends of my friends or my former classmates in high school and college and relatives. How about do you always accept friend request from every people you met in the internet even though you hardly knew the person. Why and Why not?

Yes,i think mylot is a good place for me to make more friends who are native English speaker, and it is a good place for me to learn English and get some lifelong friends,in that case,i will receive all friend requests for me and i am glad to be friends with all of you.

Yes I do. Why? Coz there is no risk. I love to make friends. In mylot, by having many friends, it is beneficial. I got more recent posts in my dashboard. I will never disapprove any request. It is nice to see how our friends grow more and more. And sometimes they say thank to me. That is very nice.

I never accept friend requests from people I don't know. I guess I just don't see the point. Sometimes I have gotten to know a person on a website, and then added them as a friend, but I feel silly accepting any friends request from a random person.

Yes, I nearly always accept friend requests. At Face Book, many of my friends are friends I've known from my past. At My Lot, I accept the vast majority of friend requests even though they come from folks who are initially strangers, and will continue to do so, because I'm touched they go out of their way to ask me to be their friend. I've met some great people that way.

I use to accept friend request. But lately I found all friends request accepted by us can lead problems to my other friends. So I have stopped accepting the request unless I know that person very well. Ihave stopped accepting friends request off lately.

Hello, Mayrah.
Here in myLot, I always accept any friend request. None of my friends would join this website, nobody that I know believes in earning money from the Internet. Basically, everybody speaks nothing but Portuguese, and the few that speak English consider this kind of website to be a scam.
Therefore, I see no trouble in accepting everybody that requests my friendship. I'm always willing to make new contacts, I see myLot as a professional online earning website, where I can create my network and link friends to my online earning routine.
On social networks I am more restrict about those who I accept and those who I do not.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

Hi. mayrah. I have accepted many friend requests from people that I don't know that well. But I am going to stop doing this too. If these unknown people start to act up, then I will block or delete them. Many people that I have asked to be their friend, they would not accept me at all. Even when I have a photo of me up.

I do. Here I don't care. I always say yes. I go through and delete non active friends about once a year. My gaming facebook account is so full, I accept everyone. Mafia Wars, YES! I have thousands of friends. On my real facebook account, I'm picky. I check to see who they are friends with. I've only had one problem. Some 18 year old kid tried to chat me up. LOL I told him I'm an old woman. I also deleted him and contacted out mutual friend. It turns out he was the kid of a friend of a friend. Kids these days. LOL Usually I actually know the person or they are an animal person. If they are an animal person, I always say yes.

It depends actually. in facebook, i only accept those who i know personally, either a family, a real friend of mine, or friends of my siblings, however when it comes to mylot and other social networking sites, i am rather a bit choosy in accepting friend requests. Because most of the time, they wanted to make friends with me, if they see that i have a pretty picture which annoys me a lot. I would like internet friends who are sincere and honest, and who are not deceiving in their profile info.

I'm a new in mylot and haven't received any friend request yet. I think I'll accept all friend request on this website. As for me, it is a good platform to to meet and new friends. But for QQ and MSN, they're importanct working communication tools, I'd only accept friend request from people who I know.

For me I never refuse to accept any invitation which want me to add as their friends. I accept all people whatever walk of life they have...
In my opinion having many friends will make us a better person. Even do we do not meet all of them...the important thing is that we acknowledge them as person as equal as we are...
Have a great day!

Before i always accept it without thinking.. now i have learned my lesson already. I don't accept inactive members this time. I don't think we earn from accepting a lot of friends here and most especially if they are inactive. It's no use adding them actually. In my facebook account i too have a lot of pending request. I don't add them because first i don't know them personally, second, i know them but i don't want to be friends with them for a lot of reasons. All my facebook friends are friends whom i personally know, relative and family members, other than that, i don't accept them. I just leave them pending..

Really as of late, I have not been accepting friend requests. Not for any reason, its just because it is just not something that I have gotten around to. At first, I accepted everyone. Then I became very selective and slightly picky with who I accepted as my friends for various reasons. So not always, no.

I will accept all friend requests here and at sidetick since I don't know anybody on either site. I don't respond to all discussions and messages though. I don't accept friend requests from people I don't know on facebook because I have personally information I only want my friends to see. My sister is famous and some of her friends try to friend me.
