No, i haven't denied any friend request before. I always accept them but i do check on their profile before i accept of course, So i would know whether my new friend is a male or female and from what country she came from.

I have never denied a request to be a friend. I think it's a compliment for someone to ask to be on my friend's list. I still have friends on the list who are no longer members of myLot. I doubt there is a limit to how many pages we can have so the list has remained the same since I initially joined.

I have never denied a friend request yet. I love meeting new people and love all of the different discussions that people come up with on here. So, I accept all requests that I get. Also, if I come across a really interesting discussion from someone, I will send them a friend request also.

I am pleased when anyone asks to be my friend, because it means that someone likes me enough to request my friendship and that makes me feel good, I hardly ever deny a friendship, but I will always check out the persons profile first, then I will accept, only a few times I have declined because the person hadn't entered anything about themselves and hadn't bothered with their profile, so I think are they going to spam me as soon as I accept. I do not accept Spam. But I am happy to have lots of friends from all around the world, it's great being able to talk to different people and learn new things. Thank you for your friendship, accepted ;0)

I always check the person's profile first. If I see that there are no discussions and responses yet or if I see from their interests and posts that we have nothing in common, I will usually refuse the request. It seems to me that the reason for having friends is because of shared interests not simply to have a bigger list than anyone else. In real life it is well documented that 200 people is about the largest number that any one person can have a nodding acquaintance with. This order of value crops up time and time again when studying social groups. Those that one can count as real friends amount to probably less than 20.

I have never rejected a request to date and don't think I ever will. I have deleted the occasional person from my friend's list at a later date once in a while though. Every now and then I go through my list and if there is someone on there that I have had absolutely no interaction with whatsoever I may delete them; but even this I have only done maybe once or twice as well in the two or so years I have been a member.

I have denied many friend requests. When someone requests my friendship I go to their profile page and check out how long they have been a member and how active they have been and how old they are and from what country and how many friends they have on their list already. I don't want to be friends with someone who has hundreds of friends already on their list because there is no way they would have all those notify buttons on and so they wouldn't be loyal to me by replying to my discussions, the way I am to my friends. Then I check out their discussions they started and make sure I can respond to some of them. I don't want to be friends with someone I don't have anything in common with because I wouldn't be able to help them by responding to their discussions so what would be the purpose of being friends. So I do check out people before I decide whether to accept or deny their friendship. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Have a good mylotting day, Chris

I always am checking the profile and am looking to see if they are talking in discussions that are interesting for me. And you can tell much about person by reading his discussions and his comments. So far I have always aproved, but if I really don't like what i read in those discussions, there is no meaning in approving.
