The Thought Process For How I Accept, Decline or Friend Request

First: Do they like bands/artists I like? Are they mainly centric around the band I fixated/am fixating on? 

Second: Do they share hobbies, such as drawing, collecting, or Kandi making?

Third: What shows/movies do they like?

Fourth: Do I think I would get along with them?

I am usually pretty interest based with how I friend request people. If you do not share any interests or music artists or shows, I will most likely either deny your friend request or not friend request you. However, if I friend request you and we do not share a common base here, I may have a tendency to friend request people who share interests with my friends, and I think it’s cool. E.g: madoka magica, homestuck, class of 09. 

Stuff like that. I also might deny your friend request if I have ruled out you are a friend collector. I do not friend collect, I just enjoy friending people who share some very interesting common ground with me. If you friend collect and friend request me, I will most likely decline it.
