friends on mylot

I reject most friends requests when age and gender isn't on their profile. I have had alot of experience online and have found that many who don't include that information are probably trying to hide their true motives for wanting to send private messages. I think that should someone wish to be on a friends list, they should disclose their age and gender. There is nothing wrong with people exercising their personal preferences in this area. No one is under any obligation to accept unknown factors on their computer screen.

No importance of age or gender factor while accepting or sending a 'friend' request.Infact I never see. Completely agree with ur view of accepting friends request. What means for me is a type of discusssion the one is placing. I deny sometimes friend's request, if I don't like the way he is operating on mylot.Why to increase friends list if we r not going to answer them?

The age difference has nothing to do, I don't think, with adding friends. The most important thing is having things in common with them and being interested in what they have to offer mylot. I am guilty though of adding requests at random-and so therefore I think it is time for me to clean house on some uneccesary friends.

I do not even look at the age and gender of my friends before accepting them. The only things I take into consideration are if I've seen them on the boards and in some of the same discussions I take part in and what the number beside their name reads. This might sound bad but I do not accept many people who are new. I feel like I need to see them wet their feet first and show that they are interested in discussions here before I add them to my friends list. At first I was adding anyone that asked but then my friends list got too big and I realized that alot of those people weren't even interested in the same things I was. I like to reply to my 'friends' discussions before anything else and all of the newbies with low numbers were not really active at all. If you're new here, post.. post alot. Show some interest, show WHAT your interest are - get that number up over at least 50 before you start requesting a bunch of people. I didn't realize how valuable my friends list was until a few weeks as a member here. Now I make sure they are people who are active here and have some of the some interests as I do. People who will respond to my discussions and vice versa. It's like forming a relationship via discussions and not just seeing how many friends you can have on your list like it's a popularity contest. I don't care if you are 16 or 96 - male or female - if you can hold a good discussion and are active here, then I'll add you as a friend. I've talked to many teenagers that can hold very intelligent conversations and I've talked to many senior citizens that I feel the same way about - at the same time, I've talked to people my own age who bore me so age isn't a factor for me - content is.

i just accept everyone who invites me regardless of age and gender.i came here to be friends and know more about their respective countries.i have made friends here who are in their 20's,30's, or even 40's,as much as they are very interesting ,male or female,i most welcome being friends with them.

"sometimes ur nearness takes my breath away, and all the theings i want to say can find no voice. then in silence i can only hope my eyes will speak my heart" age and gender doesnt hav any push to frendship

When I was a new member here on myLot I accept all the friend requests that are inviting me as their friends but lately I found out that most of them are friends only in pictures and I can't hear them sharing their views and opinions. I have no age preference when regards to my friends as long as I hear their views and opinion and also share the same interests with them and for me that's matters most you have the same outlook or he/she is active in sharing his/her opinion.
