offfffff FEDUP OF BEING GENUINE HERE :(

do you have friend on your friends list here because I find that those on your friends list will generally answer and respond to your discussion before other people do. What is it that you are looking for help with, if I can I will be more than happy to help.

Sorry too hear you're having such a rough time of it, but you'll never make a large amount here unless you have lots of referrals. I just use it too pass the time & enjoy the discussions pretty much.

MandyKaren, I know that starting out it is difficult. At least it was for me. To tell you the truth you will probably get a lot of responses from this discussion because you have what you call a "depressing story". lol Funny how that works. If I can let me share with you some of the things I have learned. Find peoples discussion that you like and send them a friends request. When they accept your friend request set them to "Notify ON". That way whenever they start a discussion you will get a notice about it. Then respond to as many as you can or want. They will learn to depend on you and start checking out your discussions as well. When you start a discussion make sure the title is catchy. So it will stick out when people see it. ALWAYS comment on people's response. If someone who responds answers well send them a friends request. I have found that most people here are willing to be friendly and help each other out. I think you have a big heart and you will be well accepted. It would be an honor to have you on my friends list so I will send you a friend request. Take care.

WEll ... first of all you only have 70 posts which is good for 6 days.... but come on you've been here one week. Give it time. I've been here 10 months and I know a few people who I enjoy talking to. We aren't friends. We don't even email each other. I've used message like 6 times. I enjoy keeping mylot to mylot. ANd I would not feel sorry for someone who has 10 kids no matter what. There is no reason in this day and age to have 10 kids.... take responsibility. Give it some time...... I don't think people lie a lot here... .but who knows... this is the internet. You either take it at face value or you don't.

What's the problem here? I'll do my best!

Hi, I'm fairly new here, well I think your being honest(lol) and I like people who just say what they are thinking. I gave up a long time on trying to make money on here. I do enjoy the responses and the discussions though. Don't give up on being honest and genuine, its rewards are much better than not being. Maybe just take a break from here awhile that's what I do.

Yes, actually I have to laud you for not noticing those pathetic sob stories that are obviously too sad to be true. In fact, I was thinking of doing the same thing like cry out that I have been abducted by an alien!

mandykaren, This happened to me too when I started here. I noticed this one member make up pathetic stories and getting many responses. I checked her profile and all the discussions she started about herself were bull. They all related to her parents abusing her in different ways and her age was different in each discussion. It drove me nuts. Then I realized that I was focusing on the wrong thng here. She ran out of stories and disappeared. I don't often post discussions, because I rarely get a lot of responses. I take the time to find interesting topics but less than half of my friends respond. Don't let it get you down. You will make interesting friends and share knowledge with others here. It's worth the wait.

Well I am sorry you have experienced this. I have always had decent responses to my posts. I guess I have not ever really ask for a lot of help, more inquisitive type posts. Is there a question that you need help answering right now? Feel free to add em as a friend.

Crikey you are fed up aren't you? I'll add you as a friend and message you ok? We all have bad responses or no responses at times but hey never mind i just try something else! Please don't be so sad just keep going and you will get there ok. I'll add you as a friend if I can remember how and will message you soon ok? I have used the message system a bit but not many have responded to me either :-( so maybe we can message each other :-)

Don't be upset. I had discussions that got 1 or 2 responses and I had discussions with 10 responses on them. I even got zero responses once and the reason for it was bad spelling. So like every thing in life, especially in places with masses of people you need to do something who will atract others attention. thats life, no one is doing it to u on purpose. I think that a subject that is general but with your point of view you can gain more responses. If you do so it do not mean your lose your own way. good luck !

this is my third day here and their are some genuinely good people. it's just that when your need seems to be on the line waiting is emphasized. i'm not getting a whole lot yet myself. just like when you plant a seed in the ground it takes a long time for it to sprout and give signs of success. try not to expect to much and take it as it comes. things could yet develope well. it's not you. it's nothing personal against you. sometimes it's the luck of the draw. just keep doing what you're doing. you are doing everything right. keep up the good work.

So whats the problem? Listen there are some things you can't expect to get help with, some you'll just have figure out yourself - but it doesn't hurt to get a little advise, so i'll try to accomodate as best as possible

Find people who to put on your friends list. I am a stay at home mom it is no lie. I am a head of the household. I will try to help you the best I can! I am sorry you feel you wasted your time here! I have responded to about 6 so far and love it. I love chatting and posting this is up my alley. Do you need help and with what? I will help give my advice or help in any way IO can. Again sorry !

I do have some friends who use the myLot message system and I always reply to them. I have made friends here by responding to discussions and getting myself known. I did see the discussion about the single mother with ten children and did not respond because I thought it was fake, but I do see many genuine and honest discussions here and members are generally helpful to each other. I enjoy taking part at myLot and I feel I get back from it as much as I put in. The amount of money I get is not much but I do get paid every month so I can't complain. I think you just need to give it more time and you could find some genuine new friends.

That's so sad. dont worry i can be your friend and help you.. just add me here. We could help each other here
