What's your personal criteria in choosing friends in mylot? For me, if he/she gives a meaningful answer to my queries - then I'll add him/her as a friend and give a + for the effort. How bout you?

Makes the friends not to be fastidious the age,the age,the nationality. i thought the most important is we can have the same common topic .certainly ,if i can fine the same nationality,i can be very happy.

I never request anyone to become my friend, people come running to me all the time, so no need really :-)

i just accept anyone who sends me a friend request, then i look at there profile and see how there doing woth discussions, also i try to respond to there discussions then i wait for them to respond to any of my discussions and if they don't after a while then i will delete them, i think that's fair as i do give them a chance first without declining the request. also thanks for your friend request too, i accepted. =)

I give plus ratings to almost anyone, unless they are just plain mean or stupid, but I choose friends based on if we have something in common only. I don't pick just anyone, because I'm going to be spending time reading their messages, so I want to know that I will find them interesting at least.

i find browsing thru different "friends" interesting because it shows an entire universe of thoughts. some are redundant but there are meaningful ones.

So far I've based choosing my friends on what they write, topics that I am interested in. People that I get a good feeling about.

Actually I pretty rarely add friends. If I do, it's usually after I've seen a couple intelligent replies or topics by them, and they've seemed like someone I would be interested in talking to more. For me, mylot is just as much about having interesting discussions as about money, so I'm rather picky about who I request friendship with. I will accept friendship most often when offered, unless I have seen posts the person made which were mean-spirited, intolerant, or very rude. Otherwise, I try to be nice to everyone, and I enjoy getting to know a variety of different kinds of people.

My basic creteria are the way he/she responds to a discussion. You see replying to a my discussion is in itself an acknowledgement for my discussion. Secondly, if the reply given to my discussion is meaningful and useful to others also, I surely prefer adding that person to my 'Friends' list. I also browse through the other discussions and wherever I find that the respondent has put in his efforts to make the issue clearer and his expressions, way of narrating is appealing, I send him/her a request for 'friend'. The other creteria is how someone comments on the reply given by you on a discussion. I find some are very very particular, they make it a point to comment on each and every reply received in response to their discussion. I rate them highly and try to add them also in my list of 'Friends'. Continuity in friendship also varies, some of them may not continue to be good friends, because they may or may not reply to yr discussions in future (may be due to other compulsion also). But all in all I have good experience in adding to my list of 'Friends' and some of them are really exceptional.

i do the same too. if someone gives a good answer to my discussion i also give them a (+) rating and if they have given the best response in the discussion i choose them as best response and add them as a friend. i also add friends when i am browsing through my friends' discussions. if i see that someone has made a good/meaningful/long response i add them as a friend. also, when browsing my interests' discussions, if i see someone that has started a good discussion i add them as a friend. i also mark their discussion as a (+) and i would often respond to it. sometimes i even add friends just because i think they have a funny / cool / catchy avatar ! but before i do so .. i would check out their discussions and their responses to discussion to make sure we have a little in common. when i add a friend i add them in the hope that they will respond to my discussions on a regular basis as i would definitely do for them. thanks for another great discussion heatspine ! happy posting ! take care and God bless ! =)

I first see whether they active people. No consideration on the regions. I woudl prefer someone young and enthusiastic as well. They shoudl be enterprising. I wont mind even deleting the friends if they do not respond even to a few discussion which I start. How is it?

first i like a response they have made, either to my post or someone elses. another criteria is having some similar interests. i visit all of the personal page and get a feel for who they are then decide if i want to add them as a friend. i actually denied someone the other day because their personal page only said they were interested in making money....no other information, so i didn't want to even bother with that, tho making money is definately a plus, i want interesting friends whose lives don't revolve around just that.

So far, I've accepted anyone who's requested to add me as a friend. As for finding friends, if someone posts a discussion or comment that interests me in some way (thought provoking, a subject I share an interest with, etc), I'll take a look at their profile. If they sound like someone I'd like, I send a request. I've "met" some great people this way! I love to check the posts friends have made, and marvel at the variety of subjects and interests. It's fun!
