Friends...Quantity or Quality?

On TBD do you accept invitations to be friends from everyone who asks? Why?

Do you accept only invitations from those whom you feel connected to?

Why?

I have refused invitations from people that I have nothing in common with, based on their posts or profiles.

People have refused my friendship, probably based on my idiotic posts or my profile.

Do you accept friend invitations because you want a lot of friends listed in your profile?

Or you do accept friend invitations because you feel a connection?

I accept friend invitations based on their posts and profile.

I don't care about the quantity of friends, I have very few.

For those of you who have accepted my friendship invitation, I'm proud to be accepted as your friend. I hope I will not offend you with my attempt at humor, flirting, or sexual openess.

For those of you who rejected my invitation, I totally understand...I can be quite obnoxious sometimes.

Your thoughts?

I have accepted all invitations except for people with no information on their profile. This is a fun place and I think the more friends the better!

Leo and Pamela,

I have enjoyed both of your posts. Leo you do keep me laughing.

I don't have any experience with a forum such as TBD before, but I do accept friendships from almost everyone.

I do understand why some people screen their friends, I am just here for the laughs, life is serious enough as it is.

I accept only those invitations from people whose posts are like my own (easygoing, lighthearted, nonjudgemental). I know that an online TBD "Friend" is not like an offline real friend, but I cannot help but think of them the same way. And since I'm very choosy with my offline friends (I have less than a dozen), I tend to be so with my online friends also. I have received about 20-30 invitations to be TBD friends and have accepted 8 so far.

i accept invitations from people i feel connected to, and i also invite people i feel connected to to be friends--people whose wit and intelligence, compassion and thoughtfulness i admire. people who have agreed with me (how flattering). people who disagree with me. people who make me laugh, people who act like friends do with each other!

like in 'real' life, my friends are all very different and unique and if i put them all in a room together, it would be a strange and sometimes rough mix. and i love that very fact about them, and about this crazy journey that is life.

I'm with you Rose, there has to be a connection. I have turned down several offers where the person seemed to be just "collecting" friends.

Gotta agree with rosie & bubba. I got quite a few in limbo & they have been there for months. I've only declined a few pervs. The rest are people with no info or posts or they are peeps I don't want to play with.

I've accepted and invited because of "some kind" of connection, or i just like they attitude towards others, Most because of my friends make me laugh,and have the same interest, this is a fun and happy place to be. Now my friends around me? Same kind of interest. I'm very paticular who i associate my self with, I try to surround my self with people who are similar to my self and are very intelligent.
