What is Your Basis of Befriending Someone Here at MyLot?

Hi there! When I was new here I befriended mostly users of the same nationality. But in general I choose friends base on their responses to my discussions. Not because of the count or how often they respond but the quality of their responses. You can somehow sense if they are friendly through their responses so thats the kind of user I would most likey send a friend reques to. Ciao!

I have thirty something friends I believe but I am not completely sure because I do not count them,and from time to time I will get people who want to be my friend here on mylot,and I always check out their profile,I will usually add anyone who wants to be my friend,to give them a chance,but if they are crude in their nature or if they never get on or never start discussions then I will usually delete them,and I will sometimes send requests to people who respond to me.

Hi to all,I joined MyLot for 2 reasons: first, to swap ideas with members here (and befriend, where possible) who seem to be very interesting folks based on the posts I've read, and second, to get good leads/traffic for my business endeavors, hopefully. This is the first site I've come across on the Net, which looks to be a supportive and open-minded lot. We may not always agree with everyone's viewpoints, but I've yet to see posts that weren't cordial. Hope it remains this way forever. So, that's my two cents toward this question. I wish everyone here the best.

Hello Mjmlagat, I have only refused one friend requestsince I started Mylot and that was someone that has two posts and about 1100 friends on his list. To me that set off a few alarms and decided to refuse him. Other then that though, I have accepted everyone else. I will request friendship from those people when I find myself responding to their discussions repeatedly, it makes their discussions easier to find and it help both parties. I really dont care about nationality or anything else, its just that I find their discussions interesting enough that I start looking for them. I hope this answers your question. Hugs, Tianna

hi dear mjmlagat . here on mylot adding for friends is like having an aquaintance! like you meet som peole daily while you are on a morning walk or in the same bus or train!.you need not take all of of them seriously. it is simple they are your question and answer friends!and that too need not to be. simply by answering your friends`s question you do not gain more cents!!and nor by adding more people as new friends. it is a ritual and apart of the system . and ofcourse if you choose to be more serious well no body will take it seriously either!!

If I am thinking about befriending a person here on my lot or looking into friendship request I try and look up some of their posts and some of their replies as well. I joined MyLot to make a few bucks granted, but I also joined for some stimulating discussions and even possible debates on certain topics so I choose wisely. Of course some I just had to add... like my Mom!!! But I like for my friends to be able to make me think and maybe even see things from a new point of view!

I never invite people to be my friend as I am not really here to make friends (not here to make enemies either). I think I can take part in discussions without being particularly close and friendly with anyone. But if someone wants to be my friend then I accept them, as I have no reason not to and it is nicer to accept them than to decline them. I think you need a reason to say "no I don't want to your friend" whereas you do not need a reason to give them a chance.

I really don't screen anyone. If someone wants to be my friend, I would accept as soon as I see the request. In case I would want to move a friendship with anyone to a higher level then that is the time I would check that persons interest. It would be nice to chat or communicate with someone with the same interest.

Hi mjmlagat, nice to meet you! I pretty much do the same as you do. I will friend someone if I respond repeatedly to their discussions. I will look at their profile or if they ask me to friend them I will check them out. I don't like to refuse anyone especially newbies because I remember when I started 2 months ago how nice and friendly people were to me and how willing they were to help me out. I want to be able to return the favor.

It's funny you asked this question, as I was going to post one similar to it. But since you beat me to the type, I'll just respond to yours instead. I'm new as you can see. I started due to being paid from a GPT site to become a member. After I saw the power and significance behind this I decided to stick it out. After all I enjoy talking/typing to people and expressing my point of view to them. As a kid, I loved debating so, and like most people like to end up being right (human nature). Anyway, I noticed after a few posts and I started getting quite a few friend requests from people from India. I didn't think much of it at first. Until I kept getting them. I genuinely enjoy all types of people as long as they can carry on an intelligent discussion/conversation with me. So needless to say nationality isn't a reason why I would befriend someone. Usually I would respond to a post and notice shortly thereafter that they are requesting me to be a friend to them. I'm kinda of long winded on typing my thoughts on here, so it is helping me to strengthen my typing skills as well, since I love to type. Overall I will accept all friend requests, and after I see what their motivation is, I'll decide to keep them as a friend or not. If they don't decide to communicate with me after I've sent them a welcome message or introduction message, then I'll end up deleting them. I'm a very patient person, so it will take a while before I delete them, unless I see they are being mean to others or rude in behavior on mylot. I thank God for mylot, simple because I do have a lot to say/type. I haven't sent that many friend requests the short time I've been here I've only sent two friend requests. Thank you for allowing my participation in your post. I look forward to reaching the 500 mark level and being able to add those cool looking smiley faces as additional expressions to go along with my writing habits.
