Being popular is overrated. I hate going through my notifications and messages every day and trying to decide which ones are worth responding to.

There's nothing really special that you have to do. I made friends here mostly by joining clubs/chats.

so can someone enlighten me! :D

who sends random friend requests accepts random friend requests
you send them they accept, they send them you accept

many of the ones who have lots don't know them all

yeah I get how the process works, but I just dont get how people can send random friend requests to people they've never interacted with :P
i find that very weird too, but guess some use the "friends" not as "people you know" but as "persons with similar interest from whom get new series"
it's less about knowing the others (and being literally friends) and more about personal interest to get something back

making real friends on internet is like in real life, except a bit harder cause there is no human contact, so don't expect to have lots if you are looking for real friends (instead of just "contacts")

They accept most of the random friend requests and send a lot of requests themselves.

Also chat about the smallest of things after the fr is accepted. Saw many people even thanking others for accepting their fr and then asking some random question.

OT/OP

I have no idea. I get random ass friend requests from time to time from users on the forums.
I don't know why, I'm kind of an asshole about certain subjects. I guess people like my straightforwardness?
Just post more and join some clubs

I just send friend requests to people who have similar anime interests. Like three of my friends also like Digimon. So I sent them a request.
One guy has like 500 friends and sent me a request but idk why. XD
Another one calls himself Rogue Cheney (from Fairy Tail)
Friend requested him
Another I met on one of the Casual Discussion threads.

Just find people you relate to, bro. It's not that hard.
But somehow all my friends are guys. If I need further proof that I'm a tomboy, this may be it. XD

One easy way is to send random friend requests and comment on people's profiles. Try targeting some of the anime/manga on their lists, that should open at least a door for conversation.

Just decline them, easy.

OP, get to know people first, and make yourself known to others.
You won't be known without stepping up yourself.

I do like talking, but I only add someone I don't know if they attempt to initiate conversation with me first.
If they sent me a friend request but don't say anything about it, I just say no, simple.

It's like those people who randomly send me Facebook, Skype etc requests, when I have no idea who they are.

If you want to get more friend requests, there is a simple trick you can use.

Write on your profile that you only add people who are really cool to your list, and that anyone who is not only your friends list must be some kind of worthless scumbag. Obviously don't use these exact words, you're gonna need to be more creative than this, but as long as you give the impression that you're a hot shot and that your friendship is exclusive, then you are bound to get loads of friend requests.

What ?!?
b-but you said i was special, wtf ... SLUT !!

@OP: Just CHAT with people, exchange nudes interests and stuff like that and dont be a creep.

Also, stay in touch with them as much as you can because online relationships are very fragile and people will gradually stop interacting with you if you dont keep up with them and show interest ... some will forget about you regardless though, but life goes on and you meet new people !!!

I tend to actually have anxiety about randomly requesting friends. Actually, I'm kind of shy even about requesting people who I've had a little interaction with even. But I've been trying to force myself to do more of that and step out of my comfort zone. I'm learning that it really isn't as scary as it may seem. Chances are, the other person is thrilled someone took the time to add them! I've made some good friends that way on other sites and hope to eventually have some close ones here too. :)

People enter people's profiles and comment.

They discuss things and then add each other.

Try it. You might meet cool people.

Just send requests. Maybe ask beforehand, if you're insecure.

I dunno though what good it is, since it doesn't mean you'd have someone to talk to here or anything at all in 99% of cases.
