Do you accept everyone who asks to be your friend? Even if after looking at their posts you have nothing in common? Is it the thing to do to accept anyone or can you be choosy? Do you get more points for having more friends? Unless there is some extra earing benefit for having tons, I want to be choosy and accept people who share my interests.

Yes, I am choosy as well. Im not sure if there is a benefit of having lots of friends other than friends help friends by answering each other questions, but if you have nothing in common with those asking to be your friends, I can understand why you wouldnt want to be their friend. Good luck on your search of friends and thanks for the topic!

I think as you. I always try to answer the topics of my friends. Exactly being many I try to place one per day, or more. Thus I help them and they help me to earn more here in the Mylot.

I guess it would really depend on what your defination of a "friend" is. I do not accpet everyone who ask's to be my friend. If I have built up a repoires with them through threads, I will accept them, though as myLot has grown that becomes more difficult. I get requests from people who ask from the very day they joined and I have no clue who they are or what they are about. I have no need to see how many friends I can collect and anyone I do ask to be my friend but be someone I will to talk to off of the myLot forum. Interestingly enough, some of the friends I have accepted are people with whom I have I have differening opinions from. However, they did so in a postive, respectful nature. Just because someone doesn't think as you do or share the interests doesn't exclude them from being a real friend.

I always add my new friends. For me it is very important to have friends here, therefore they always help me when I have you doubt, and mainly to answer well. I believe that to make friends it is always an excellent option and mylotumao in gives a perfect chance to them to know people new.

Well, I think it would be boring and pointless to have friends with whom u will not share anything. U gotta have something in common and share ideas. I think it's not all just about making points. lol Of course, yes, u can be choosy. U don't need to accept all and sundry. U have to choose friends.

Initially I accepted everyone who asked to be my friend but now I am a little more discerning. I check the discussions that they have started as well as some of their responses and then decide. If I accept someone as a friend then I will respond to their discussions. If after a while I find that they are not responding to mine or their responses are inappropriate I take action. Firstly if no responses, then I will send them a personal message and see what they say. If no reply, then I will delete them from my list of friends. Also if they make inappropriate responses to my discussions as well as others, I will also delete them. We get no more points for having friends as far as I know so that is not a consideration, and nor should it be actually. I might not necessarily agree with what one of my friends says, but I can still make my point of view so it isn't absolutely necessary that we share common beliefs in all things.

At first I would accept anyone as a friend but I am a little more choosey. Especially if this person has been a spammer or a cheater. :) I like to avoid those people. There are people I have seen around who ask to be my friend and I gladly accept them! :) Can't have too many friends.

I accept whoever asks. I don't see the point of turning anyone away. We can all be friends.

im a new comer here at myLot, for me, i dont ignore friend's requwst, i dont care if we differ in interest because i believe that all of us have something in common that we dont discover yet, so i welcome everyone to invite me as your friend.

I would prefer people to be adjusting. No one in this world is perfect and everyone has different nature, some good/bad qualities. So I would prefer those who can adjust with my good/bad qualities and I too will accept his/her.

me...i don't really care either way, i mean, its just online friends...on myspace i'm a bit more picky because that page is for my friends and family mostly. here...no big deal...i don't really check them that often, and there's just more posts in the friends topic area...so who cares.
