OK. You all have made friends in myLot either by approving from your end or getting approved by others.
What do you actually expect from them?
1) Whether your myLot friends should, daily, read your discussions/comments?
2) Whether you would like your friends to rate your discussions/comments postively ( every body says one should be positive in thinking
3) Do you treat them real friends and remember them by names?
4) If the friends come infront in real life, what would be your reaction when you meet them.
5) Last but not least, Would you yourself read your friends discussions/comments interestingly and take appropriate action?
Yes. Question hour is over. Come on friends - let us share our answers friendly.
You can expect my answers, provided your active participation is seen.

I have some definite ideas about it which I implement:
1. I do not want large number of friends to boast of when I really cannot remember who is who.
2. Thousands came in and went out (I mean I deleted) and some of them left mylot. But what is important is accept some 25 to 50 friends.
3. I feel friends should understand (as much as I understand) that every response I receive from a friend, deserve a reciprocation.
4. I have been accepted all freinds requests. They keep posting hundreds of discussion topics. If I have to answer only their discussion topics (some of the topics, I have no knowledge), then I end to servicing one or two friends.
5. Therefore best thing one can do is to resopnd to a friend's discussion topic only when you receive a response (anything can be first or last).
6. Secondly, there should be some exchange of thoughts through PM. If all these are absent, then it is not worth having so called friends.

You cannot be go on doing service to some one. Basically it is give and take principle. If it is always taking and no habit of giving, then it is not worth having friends. It should be mutual understanding, for mutual benefits particularly in my lot. The real friends I have, it is different. Mylot I have only handful of good friends.
I had a bitter experience with many many new mylotians who have become friends, but dormant. What is the use of increasing my list with photogaphs. I can as well collect other pictures, but I am not a picture collector, nor I need to boast having of great number of friends.

ssh123,
Thanks for the response. Your strategy on friends selection is practical.
Good friends are friends, otherwise it would be only 'triends'

Ironically I have had some expectations when it comes to myspace friends in the past but not so much anymore. And I don't expect anything from my mylot friends. And if I met them in real life, I would give them a hug and arrange a lunch day or something. And of course I read their comments and discussions. I do my best to stay in the loop but sometimes I admit I miss things. I try to keep up though.

i am happy everytime a user invites me to be included in his/her friendslist. that means they took notice of my posts. i've never invited a user before. not that i don't want to it's just that i head straight to discussions right away. i don't have an internet connection at home. i just rent one anytime i'm free. it usually takes time to open this site and really, my goal is to earn money. i don't wanna waste time. not that inviting is a waste of time. maybe, i'll invite you guys when i have my own connection. by the way, i always approve any invites. thanks!

Care to care is idea you have shown, despite not being well equipped.
Continuing posting your comments and see post-posting period.
Friends are actually having 'free-ends'

I just have 7 friends, I try to see if they have posted something and try to reply to some of them, but even with these few friends I don't cover all of them in the same day, and I think if you have accepted someone as a friend it is to try to help each other out, not that it is completely necessary but I do think that's the idea behind friends. My 7 friends are from different parts of the world and fortunately all of them are posting some interesting discussions so it is in fact easy to reply to them.
I don't think I would like to have more than say 10 or 20 friends, as I think that is the largest number I could have a nice reciprocal friendship with, as it is I, don't communicate with the friends I have, you know messaging etc.
What do I expect from them? Well maybe see if I posted something and reply every once in a while if what I posted interests them., I'm not interested in being rated.

Limiting friends in numbers would enable you to cover and care. Any way, reciprocal is a must. As long as you are conscious oriented, rating will not affect, as minds of people to people would vary.
Thanks for (f)active participation.

Yes, I would be with you. When you say 'unlucky' it has 'lucky' around.
We are family myLotters, sharing + caring. Only thing is with our comments, we should not hurt anyone.

First and foremost, thanks for the response. It is really 'shubh'(means ausicipious)
I can see your view points. People are different by nature too. I think, the rating should be done immediately, otherwise tendency to forget same happens. More so due to participation in various topics, getting back there becomes difficult.
Be a part,(anti)cipate and PARTICIPATE !!!

i dont expect too much from them, i am happy to see if they responded on the discussion i started. i always read from my email the discussion they started too, and when i know what to say or if i know what they are talking about then i respond. some of the topics i dont know what to say, for example are topics about dogs or cats.... whether i like it or not i cant respond because there isn othing i can say to them that would be a help. so if they dont respond on my discussion and its okay for sometimes i dont respond to theirs. some of my friends here we communicate through emails also. and help each other when real life friends of ours are new on mylot.

Thanks for the response. I was just wondering seriousness about the friendship here.
Yes, one can be choosy about the topic.
Keep responding.

I'd like my mylot friends to respond to all my discussions that they can but not every one, as I haven't found anyone with my exact same interests.
I will also try as much as possible to respond to theirs but some I can't and hope they realise that. I'm not sure about in real life as I think some it would be good and some not so good, just because of the interests in common.

Your intention is very clear - every action has a reaction.
Also meeting, in my opinion, in person whom you have had interations like this, would be a thrill.
Have a gr8 day (and night too)
