SexyAttorney: No, they are not friends of mine. I just do not care to be on a list without my approval.
The old format on this site used to have the approval of a friend and maybe this still does

but I favorite some people just because I like their style or their disposition, etc.. On another site you are notified if you are a favorite. I know that doesn't help but for now maybe be happy that you are a favorite of some people.

I know I would.
