Do You Immediately Approve Friend Requests?

Do you immediately approve friend request? Not just in facebook or friendster or any other social networks but also here in Mylot. Do you have to look first at the profile of that certain person who adds you up as his/her friend or immediately confirm to be his/her friend? What would be the advantages of having many online friends? Because many people just accept and accept friend request just to collect "friends" and show off to everyone that he or she is likeable or adorable. But people have different opinions and ideas so if it makes you happy and this doesn't hurt anyone, then go.. =)

Yes I do add everyone. If they behave strange I then delete and block. But I add everyone because I am friendly and I like making friends. I have met some really really cool people from just adding some random people. And I do visit people I meet online via social networking. I am very cautious of the people I meet I do check everyone out especially because I do have a family and usually the people we meet have a lot in common with our family and usually they are a family like ours that loves meeting people online. For me it is no difference than meeting someone in person at the grocery store and starting a friendship. I am cautious with people whereever I meet them.

Hi meiliyeppuda, In mylot I may approve the friend’s request immediately. In other sites I may delay the requests. I am not active in other sites and I am getting notification in mail box about the friend’s request. I won’t go there and check the same immediately. Whenever I visit the site either I deny the request or just ignore it. If I am not interested with the site then there is no point to adding friends there. You may wonder then why I joined on these sites, many friends are sending links or inviting to the site so I just signing up there for showing the courtesy. I am happy with mylot friends.

Actually it's pretty hard to get on my friends list. When I get a request I check their profile, discussions & previous activity closely before I decide whether to accept or not.

I approve everybody. If they spam me, I may delete them. Otherwise, I don't delete anybody here unless they close their account.

In facebook and Myspace I have to know the person or they can request because of a game I will add them. If its just some stranger I wont do it. Here on Mylot I accept just about everyone. The only person I have ever denied always had a very different opinion on everything we were both answering so I didn't see the point if we would always be arguing.

I will, cause in my opinion more friends more benefit.Like here in Mylot, we will got more answer for our post.And in Facebook, we can invite them to our groups or applications that we play. Just the benefit of getting more friends, don't think the others.

In myLot yes, I automatically approve friends request whenever theres a new one every day. It is because members here are more friendly and haven't been rude to me since I joined several months ago. But in other sites where theres a lot of nasty people trying to wreck havoc over members, then it is more appropriate to check the persons profile first before accepting the invitation.

Yes i accept here without looking any profile even but on other social site i prefer to add only people to whom i know by face or other ways. There are also other people of interest to whom i add. Most of time I avoid adding strangers on social sites but sometimes add and also they prove to be good friends sometimes. I don't believe in quantity of friend but its better to have some friend but good friends who understand you and for whom you can care and they are think of you. Not the people who talk to you one day and next day they don't even remember you that you met them ever on line. I have many such experiences on net so now i am more aware of such people and add people less on social sites but here it is OK and i have no problem in adding here.

Yea i mean if you don't have a problem with them or if you see no problem with them then yea i totally give them a chance and see what they're all about. don't get me wrong there are some people out there that just want to bug you and tease you and stuff but just ignore them and don't fall into their tricks. i approve everyone in mylot for the simple fact that their really isn't a threat to it, people just want to talk and help you out sometimes so just give them a chance.

Now this just depends on the site. Here in MyLot I will add everyone as soon as they send the request. The purpose here is to connect with more people and through that interaction, earn money. That is the whole point here. Now on other sites that might be a different story. Like for instance I have a Facebook account and it is a bit more personal for me. I only add people I know, and family. But on Facebook the things you post will appear on others profiles and I choose to keep it within my circle of friends and family. Then there's Myspace, where I have a page dedicated to my record label, which I will add anyone who shows a genuine interest in the music or if you play mobsters lol. In the end it all depends on the purpose of that particular site.

I have never seen their profile like what, I just had them all approved. This makes me easy in finding an interesting discussion and also talk to each other. I seem not to visit just one place but many places could be visited and if the discussion is in my opinion does not match then I will sort from A to Z until I get know what must I do.

HI! yes, I approve the friendship request immediately, because many of them adding me as a friend just of one reason- to have more people commenting on their discussions, and for me is also good, so I will see it and discuss to them.An if he/she really wants to be a friend with me, than she/he will PM me!
