Your Friends Here In myLot

I'm starting to build up on friends now. However, even when I had just one twso friends, I never replied to ever discussion they made. My motton on MyLot is I will only respond under two conditions to a post. One, I know what I am talking about and can help the thread start. Two, I'm saying what everyone before me had said.

There are some discussions that people start that might not apply to the reader or are of no interest so I would say people should not have to feel that they have to reply to every discussion a friend starts.

I have many friends here in mylot but only a handful of them really come to my discussions and I don't expect that all of my friends have the time to be here always to respond to all my discussions but they will on certain discussions. I have not done a good job too to respond to every discussions my friends started. Some posts I can't relate well so I just skip and wait for their next posts. And again it is impossible to come to all my friends posts as we have our own discussions to reply too. There should be a mutual understanding here that everyone should at least respond to their friends discussions every now and then.

I don't start many discussions anymore. But I can say that when I do start a discussion, I have one friend that always responds. Regardless of what the topic is. She isn't on here much anymore, but we have become such good friends that we exchanged email addresses, so when I do start a discussion, she just emails me with her response instead of coming on here to respond. I only respond to discussions I have something to add to. So I don't respond to all the discussions started by my friends.

To be honest, I don't know how to choose the friend here in myLot. I even made a discussion about that out of my confusion. I mean, I don't know how we could pick which one would be good to us and which one would just spam on our inbox. I knew that some of my friends were very kind and they would respond to my discussion once I made one, but most of them are not and many of friends in my list has never touched myLot ever again. So what should I do with this list? I can say that I have lots of friend here in myLot, I added them the first time I joined this place and I didn't know anything about adding friends here. Later after I know about it, I decided that I should not only being careful but I have to be picky.

Hello Tina! Honestly, I have many number of friends here but I did not turn on all my notifications to all of them. I only turned on my notifications to those friends whom I know are always responding to my discussions and I have a few. If I turned on all the notifications of my friends, probably, I will miss some notifications of my loyal friends.

There is no way that I have replied to every one of a friends discussions. I do have them sent to my inbox and try to answer all of them that I feel I can contribute something to.

While I am not completely sure I believe that I would have responded to at least one dicussion that has been started by my friends here on myLot. Generally I think that the friend requests I receive actually come after I have responded to one of their discussions. I cannot say, and do not believe, that I have responded to each and every discussion that ny of my friends have started. There are a couple of reasons for that. One is that there are times when I do not get online to myLot for maybe days or weeks or even months because of my other work and personal committments. For that reason alone, many of the discussions are out of date by the time that I get around to reading them. But there have been times when I have responded to a discussion that is old because it is still relevant as far as I am concerned. I actually think sometimes that if we go back to our friends discussions there might be some which deserve a second chance and more so if they only received a couple of replies initially. It doesn't concern me at all if a discussion is 2 years old and already has a best response, if it is topical and interesting then I will respond. The other reason I don't respond to all the discussions started by those on my friends list is because the topic does not interest me at all and there is not much common ground. The fact is that I am a 62 year old male, in a permanent relationship, with adult children and grandchildren, small organic farmer and interstate truck driver. I am not interested in boyfriends, girlfriends, wedding dresses and the latest songs on the pop chart. I am not decrying those either but simply highlighting why I do not respond to all the discussions started by my friends.

hi tina i don,t think you are on my friends list but i have responded to some of your post however thats why we have to choose our friends wisely on my lot.make sure they are active on mylot and can and do respond to your discussion.i hope you are not saying here you are leaving because i do see you all over the place,some people have to be interested in your discussion to participate.because even me i don,t know about everything people discuss but iam here and iam learning from each and everyone of you, isn,t that great.the doors to learning here is wide open all these different minds at work here.but thank you for bring all this to our attention remember we are not perfect but we are trying.with your help we can and will get better happy mylotting to you as well.

I have had the same friends on my list for about a year and a half now, and I am getting pretty bored with most of their discussions. I have a few friends that consistantly respond to my discussions but only a few. So I think I am going to clean up my list and get rid of the ones that don't converse with me anyways. What I mean by that is, I respond to their discussions and they don't comment back and have a discussion with me and that is what it is all supposed to be about, having discussions, not just posting and not talking about the subject that is posted. So I have 100 friends on my list right now and I am going to cut that back to about 12 which are the ones that are true friends and I am going to delete the remainder of them. I am then going to go on a friends hunt and look for more friends that are closer to the same age as me. Right now most of my friends on my list are about 30 years younger than me and at first it was fun to read some of the immature things that they post but now I am bored with it so I need to find friends that will post more sensible things.

Hi there! I have accepted friends and sent request of friendship to members that I find nice based on their discussions. But in doing so, I never included the obligation on both of us, my friend and me to answer on each others discussions always. I choose discussions which reply to not because they are my friends but because their topic interests me. Sometimes I respond more to other members if very few discussions come in from my friends. There are also no hard feelings for me if my friends don't respond on my discussions. Sometimes more responders I receive are not in my friends list. And I'm sure if I don't respond on my friends' discussions, they understand too cause they are such nice people. But I had to admit that there are a few from my friends whom I always look forward in responding to their discussions because all of their topic always interests me and consider them my best pals here. Ciao!

I do try to answer a lot of my friends discussions here. I do get responses from my friends as well when I start a post. Most of the time I am responding. I can't say that everyone responds to all of my questions when it comes to my friends but that is alright. It doesn't really bother me too much. I still like to come here and correspond with people.

i do not have many friends now,and when someone ask to add me as a friend,i will just approve.but i can not be sure i will respond to their discussions all.this is impossible even you have few firends,many people have their own thought and seeing,some we understand or come across,but there are also some i know nothing about them,so i may just have a look,but not respond as i have no word to say.

Yes. Sometimes, not all our friends can be considered as real others. Though others are really are and can be proved as time passes by.

I have over a 100 friends on here but most are not active. Theres only a handful of my friends on here who starts discussions. I don't respond to every discussion they started and I think on one has. I only respond to discussions that interest me and something I can answer or relate to.

iused to feel bad not accepting friends requests..so i accepted all that came thru. then i took a look one day at my list and didnt know who 80% of these people were. i hadnt seen them even once on any of my discussions or those of the people i call "friend" here. so i went on a deleting spree, cut about 7 pages worth of people off.. and am now down to a select few that i interact with on a regular basis. i no longer accept friends requests from people ive never seen before, and havent had some sort of conversation with beforehand. its just simpler that way.. and really, more fun as well.

Hi, KrauseHome! I try my best to respond to any and all discussions that my friends will start. I may not get to it like I want to though, but if I see it, I will give my point of view. It is sometimes hard for me to respond because of the kind of connection that I am. I may get lost in responding to anyones discussions. But to be honest, I may not get to it. It may be a discussion that is weigh down the end of the list. I do appreciate people that respond to my discussions. I know that others are not too thrilled when I don't respond back, but I do take the time to read a discussion and rate them. This shows my appreciation. But, sometimes it is not good enough for them. They expect a response most of the time. But, I am not able to give them one at times. I just want them to know that I enjoy reading their responses.

I do not have many friends, and to be honest i will not make friends hoping they will answer my discussions ... i will not go into this. will just post when i have the time, and get as many answers i will get, with no earning plan behind this ... Anyway, having more friends can bring you more comments i suppose , so i fully understand this practice ! Happy myLotting ... he he

I will be honest. I don't respond to all my friends' discussions, only some. I tend to go for the discussions that interest me. Is that bad? I have noticed that my friends don't necessarily respond to mine either and I don't have a problem with that.

Hi krausehome, Mylot is a real good site, so I invite my friend in the real world to mylot. Now, there are two of my classmates and a friend in mylot as my referal. I don't think I can earn how much money from them but want them enjoying a good thing.
