Do your friends actually help you out in myLot?

Well I have seen a lot of people who add you only for the purpose of you answering their discussion and then thats that! I have friends who do support me but then again 90% of people in my friend's list haven't answered a single discussion of mine! So I'm thinking that do you face a similar situation? If yes any suggestions? I mainly try to answer all my friend's post even if they don't. So what in your opinion is the right thing to do?

This happen to the more of us here.At beginning didn't disturb me but after i gave a lot of answers to the friends never response to me i decided take them out of my list and keep or add new friends who support each others.

Thanks for responding, I'm going through exactly the same and I'm thinking about filtering too.

I agree with you, as I have noticed the same thing. I try to filter out my friends from time to time. The ones that answer my posts, and I answer theirs, I keep them. We have much better discussions. Do what you are comfortable with dear. Blessings, M&M

honestly, i dont know any of the people who have added me as their friends. i just accept those who want to add me. sometimes i do read their discussions and answer them but i only choose which discussions i would like to answer. if i find a discussion interesting, then i post a response to it it doesnt matter if the one who posted the discussion is in my friends list or not. most of the "friends" in my list dont answer any of my discussions either. i dont know why they added me and i dont really know why people want to add friends. will this help them out in their earnings or do they just do this to get to know people.

I have also noticed this, some people just add lots of friends but they may not have anything in common, or even post replies o their friends discussions I only have a few friends in my friends list because i only choose/accept people who have at least some similar veiws to mine

Indeed, I think that you should add a person if he/she really wants to help each other out and not for the intention of you just replying to their posts.

sometimes i think people make friends here just for the sake of increasing their star rating, i dont know what gave them that idea but its quiet prevalent notion here! Anyways i think revising your friends list from time to time might be a good idea!
