What is your criteria for approving a new friend request?

first of all hi thank you for adding me as one of your friends. in my case if i want that person to be added in my contacts of course i visit his/her profile first, then browse the topics that he discuss previously, find out how interesting topics was discussion made by him. instincts are considered too to me before having decision to add that person on my profile. have a nice weekdays!

Hi beach lover, I am very surprised that you already have responded to 300+ discussion and not even have a friend here. For me anyone who sends me a add request i approve him simply because he was kind enough to send it. Also i have found mylot to be lot give and take here. If i reply to anyone discussions usually they reply to mine and if you are friends with someone then they get email when you start a discussion and tell me who doesn't want maximum people respond to their discussions.

To be honest, at one time, I was just accepting every friend request left, right, center, and upside down. These days I am far more selective with my friend selection. I think that there are a lot of people who just sign up, friend everyone that they can find, and then spam them with messages. Which if I'm not mistaken is against the guidelines but since when has that stopped some people. Therefore, I have gotten into that situation more times then remember. Do not take it personal if I do not accept your friend request right away. I want to see if you will stick around for a little bit. Either that or I have gotten really lazy and can't be bothered to make the effort to accept you after a while and yeah, I do kind of apologize about that as well but what are you going to do, stuff happens. Still I think that I will only accept people that have stuck around for a bit. No more fly by night myLot members on my friends list.

Sometimes I did check mylot members profile before I approved his/her friends requests, if she/he is active in discussions/comments or starting a topic for discussions.But to new members I accept them all.

I usually just accept them as I the request doesn't really bother me too much and in fact if one of them respond to my discussion then all the better, usually my friend invites come from a previous discussion. On mylot it's not like facebook where we usually know the other person yes we people may say they are friends over the internet but the internet is a mask to peoples true identity so accepting friend's who you claim to know in actual fact you don't really. So on the basis of thinking someone is your friend because they've responded to you can do no harm but really there's not a real friendship. So accepting random people in truth is what you are doing with every mylotter unless in fact you know them from your everyday life.

I have not improved any friend requests yet. I'd like to check and get to know them a little bit first, and i'd like to see how they saw my profile- if they responded to any of my discussions. I would also check their profile. I'd have to Get to know people at least a little bit before accepting them.

Hello. Your first friend request, huh? I used my gut as criteria most. If the FR doesn't have a very large number beside it then I am scepticle. If I have seen them in a discussion then I don't have a problem with adding them to my list. You can always delete them later on or turn them on or off. I may or may not check the profile depending on how busy I am and where I am online.

For me it is not matter as long as it is requested by them I will easily involve.

At first I thought nothing of the person who requested my friendship until I requested CJ scott of his friendship. He replied so wonderfully that he taught me a thing or two about appreciating people. Oops about your post, I will check them out but never thoroughly and will approve everyone of them. But now I appreciate them more, you know becos of the statement i made above.

i usually choose friends who respond to my discussions are friendly to me and others and offer good advice for a problem i may be having.I also choose them according to common interests we both have as well. Of course when anyone sends me a friend request, i very rarely, if ever refuse, as i think a big part of Mylot is about community and getting to know your fellow members.

Hi there BeachLover!!! Well I can say that I don't really have any criteria for accepting any friend request or for inviting someone to be my friend here in mylot.For me it doesn't matter if that person is a newbie or an experienced user.As long as he wanted to be friend with me. Its good to have many new friends here in mylot.Without them your discussions will be very dull or receive no response at all.I don't choose or set any categories for my from here or even for my friends offline.I guess I just really want to meet many people that is why I dont set any requirements for them to be my friend.

right now I not have crieria to approving a new friend request on my lot, I dont know maybe is because I am new in my lot, for the moment I have no reason for not approving friends in my lot

Because I am new at this, I just accept and accept any friend request they throw at me. I am thinking in some way or another, they have encountered my profile in one of the discussions under my interest. With that perspective, I easily accept friends because I know for a fact that by glancing at a discussion with my interest means that they too might have the same interest with me. So in a way, we have some connection and from there, who knows we might become true friends.

Dear BeachLover, I think i approve new friend when i feel that that person can understand other and can feel the situation as well. When i have a new friendship request i just check the while that person can understand the situation or not Thanks
