Perhaps I should have put more emphasis on the word "IF", but I respect each answer provided thus far.

I, for one, completely agree.
I have met some of the most wonderful people here who read my profile and then emailed me to ask me if they could add me as a contact just because of what my profile said. When someone gives an answer that intrigues me and I go to read their profile that contains ... nothing - it bums me out! It would be nice to know a bit about that person.
I have also added people due to their profile being totally hilarious or charming. I would never seek to add someone who had a blank profile and left neither a contact email or IM. Why bother? If I want to get to know someone or have them as a contact I want to know at least a bit about them!
Of course, if they had some really freakish or weird picture with say ... "pop out eyeballs" or "reindeer antlers and a huge red nose" I'd stay as far away from them as possible ...
OH WAIT!!
I already have you as a friend don't I?
Good thing you had something funny to say on your profile that day!!
lol
Christmas peace Rudolph!

I just list the basics, but not my life's story....
This is what I've had up since I've started:
"Okay, here's the basics: My name is Danielle and I am in a relationship with my loving and caring boyfriend, Eric^_^ My "children" are: One dog, Two cats, and a ferret(and four fish too I guess...)
I am normally a Happy go lucky person who just likes to live in the moment and has alot of blonde moments(though my hair can be many different colors, still blonde to the bone..) I've been called annoying, stupid, quirky energetic.. but I've also been called a best friend, a caring person, mature,dependable, REAL, fun, optimistic(though I do have gray days too)
I REALLY like making and keeping friends, but if you expect me to call, email or include you in things all the time and not be called or included in things as well, don't hold your breath. Like any relationship, friendships take two people and things need to be mutual. I don't want riches or gold from people, but real friendship, support and caring doesn't hurt. I do my best to make sure I am there for my friends, whether they see it or not. If this is a new friendship, it may take a little bit to come out of my "shell" I can sometimes clam up. All I ask is not to suck my "friednship fountain" dry and then run off to "better" ones. If you ever want to hang out, I'm all for it(if I have the extra cash at the time), or call/email me and I will answer. I will not Give up on You if You don't give up on me^_^
Thanks,
Danielle"
that's also for my Myspace profile too...

Not necessarily. For a long time, I had nothing in that section on my old account but people were still adding me as contacts, becoming a fan, simply because they liked my questions and answers.

never thought to much about that i love browsing and
i might have added several but as company one can handle so much as they are in my e-mail and i can only handle so much
as my mail box is so crowded it takes awhile to delete allot
ta to consider those whom are more important like a mail to a friend or those close by that you communicate with
other wise i know where to find or meet up with them
no problem i arrange what i have too
No I try my best as you would do
feel for sweet potato with lemon brown sugar and syrup
AND MELTED MARSH MELLOW
no preference agree or disagree

Yes, if that is your motivation for being on Y!A. You should also create a 360 page and invite people to view it. You might also want to allow IM as well.
For me, my motivation for being on Y!A isn't really to make friends. I hope I truly do help people in the other categories that I answer questions in. I come to P&S purely for the enjoyment. I have to admit I have met some wonderful people here and I wouldn't trade it for the world!
Best wishes!

I suppose it does help me when deciding whether or not to add someone as a contact....but I never used to have very much on mine....and it didn't seem to deter people from becoming my fans. I do have more on there now than I used to....I guess I couldn't think of what to say about myself at first!

Agree. Except if it is about me, then I am an exception to the rule. I don't have to much interesting or informative to say about myself. Ha

I concur completely. And on my "about me" I just tell a little about myself and then what I would request from anyone wanting to contact me. If they cannot abide by my polite requests, oh well. Then I KNOW what kind of "friend" they are.

Agree for the friends, but disagree because it might attract trolls too.
