I was making friends and getting lots of help for a couple years before I ever ‘sold’ anything, and I’ve paid all the love back by being a helpful friend now. Having nice friends helps you sell nice things because of their suggestions, criticism, and word of mouth. But just capturing ‘friends’ to help you make sales seems like a horribly slow and poor way to sell… maybe I’m naïve. I’d think if your goal was to shnucker people into buying things it would be best to get them to join a group rather than just being your friend so you could poke them mercilessly with sales and bargains until you had all their L$s. Hmmm… maybe groups are the problem not fast made friends? (I’m being silly… sorry)

I’ve noticed that people who are ‘together’ for a while and haven’t done anything mean, evil, or annoying to each other usually have little trouble becoming ‘friends’. If there’s a wee bit of chemistry then occasionally they can ‘fall in love’. ‘Together’ can be at school, the office, or in SL’s case IMs, favorite shops, special sims or events. It’s a little harder for chemistry to take over in SL because you can’t tell if he smells good or has a frisky grin, but obviously that hasn’t stopped lots of folks from becoming a little closer. So if I have a vote, being similar isn’t nearly as important to becoming friends as being ‘together’… and SL does a great job of bringing all sorts of interesting folks together.

Hopefully this works... thanks for the tips!

Just seeing if I can do this... I can't figure out how to remove it... sorry
