Mylot opinions about me?

I don't think people who choose to add friends here always even bother looking at their profile. I've had so many add requests from people who have no interests in common with me, who haven't responded to a single one of my discussions and I haven't responded to any of theirs but I rarely decline anyone out of hand. I tend to go to their profile and check out their discussions and see if we at least have interests in common, be it food, music tastes, type of books we read and TV shows, etc, but often it's because they've got the idea in their head that the more people they add as a friend the higher earnings they will get here. There are a few people who've started discussions advising people to just randomly add friends all over the place and they're actually quite annoying as people follow this advice. There are a couple of members who have tried to add me as a friend every time I decline them and I know it's because they want to appear on the "discussions my friends started" list - so I make a point of not adding them. I have no problem with adding people who are 18 or 68 as long as they write quality discussions or responses and/or we have various interests in common :)

I am 49 years, & I receive friends requests from very young adults. I give everyone a chance, & approve every request. If I receive way too many notifications, or a friend starts unsiutable discussions, or they nev er res[pond to kine, I delete them. Age usully doesn't come into it. Although I guess if I examine who have kept as friends in the long term, there are a lot my age.

Im not sure why you think you cant respond to a 17 year olds post. just because your older im sure your not living in the stone ages and have thoughts and ideas about todays life. why be so uptight about things this is just a fun site with people of all ages responding to all discussions. Sometimes younger people are looking for older peoples advice on something. your a mother and a wife so im sure you have some good advice about raising children, or how things in a marriage work. relax and add the friends you may be surpirsed how well all age groups fit in to your daily life.

You are a very lucky lady, I am 48 and I don't get very many friend requests at all. I don't know why, must be the way I'm writing. Maybe my age shows LOL, or whatever I write people don't identify with. Good luck to you with your many friends.

Perhaps these people have been impressed by something you have said in a past discussion. Perhaps you share similar interests. Perhaps they want to add you as a friend because you are intelligent and literate. Then, perhaps, there are those who just want to accumulate as many friends as possible. Hope you can weed them out!

I think that maybe it a motherly thing? no offence lol but sometimes its nice to have a wiser perspective and a "motherly figure" from someone who isnt actually your mum? lol plus i think you a very nice lady and enjoy reading your awsome responses :)

I am 68 years old and get all kinds of friends requests from young people. I used to approve averybody. Now I leave them in pending until I see if I could ever contribute to any of their discussions. I think a lot of people collect friends when they first join Mylot. People deal in different ways with friends. Some take this very seriously and treat their virtual friends as if they were real life friends. Some people keep their distance and respond to discussions that interest them whether or not they are asked by friends or not. It also depends on whether or not the money is important. Myself I am on Mylot because there are many discussions that interest me and because I am learning a lot. The pennies are like the icing on a cake.

I think you find yourself in an ideal situation. Let me explain…since Mylot is a platform for virtual friendship, difference in age matters very little. Friendship with someone 20/25yrs younger to you is very much plausible as you don’t have to undertake the physical strains involved in befriending teenagers (like going out frequently, hanging out at malls etc). instead, keeping in touch with them, gives you a peep into their world and keeps you mentally young and agile. They, on the other hand, are enriched by your knowledge of life under various circumstances. I mean you will obviously not preach them like a parent while on the other hand you, with you rich repertoire of experiences under varied circumstances, you can be an invaluable friend and confidant.

i think you shouldn't have opinions about yourself, just accept and talk to them, when you are talking to young people , you will feel younger yourself, it is good to keep your mind young and alive, you know.

i dunno..you cant really tell anyones age on here.. because it;s the internet... you can sometimes..but it might be wrong :P
