Now be honest with your age or....

I usually just accept everyone that requests my friendship on here. There was one time a fellow mylotter sent me a PM and told me he was 15. Yet on his profile he stated he was 18. I told him he needed to find people his own age to associate with. No need for him to be PMing an older woman! And if he was really 15 he shouldn't have been on mylot anyway. After all, no one under 16 years of age is supposed to be on this site. PS the age you see on my profile is my real age.

I never thought about this before.I dont know how old my friends are.I dont think thats important.You can make friends with people of different ages.

Well some of us have "lied" about our ages here to purposely throw people off. For awhile there I had myself listed as 88 years old....LOL Now I've set my age as it really is so people will know whom they are dealing with. As far as the "youngsters" here. While most of us are here are say twenty or older, when a person honestly tells their age as being 15 or so, they won't be able to read any of the mature content of discussions. I know this since when I wasn't here..and uh, you know why, I was lurking about and would come up to discussions or replies from people and would get a notice "you have to be logged in or sign up to see this mature content"--so no worries there that younger people are seeing something that might be considered mature content. Though I do have to laugh what is considered "mature" There's like an automatic censor of different words that might be considered as "mature"--kind of funny though when one is discussing a part of chicken to cook yet one can say well, boobs...Some friends and I had a real laugh festival with that one time and said things "Oh yes, I love the way Kentucky Fried Chicken fries their boobs."

i have had a 15 year old ask to be my friend twice in the last couple of days. i denied him i don't feel like we would have alot in common & to be honest was surprised he was on mylot. he doesn't list his country on his profile. may be the same one u are getting requests from.

Hi I don't think age is a preponderant factor in choosing friends. I have friends, true friends, of all ages. Some, I don't even know how old they are. I don't bother to ask. I guess what matters on a friendship is what you have inside, your true feelings. Not your age, your financial status, if you are married, single or anything else. Friendship is something greater than love: in love you ask for something in return. In friendship you just want to be there for the other one, no matter what. No bonds, no "must do". I hope you understand what I mean, gosh... About my age, I'm always true. Some people think I'm telling more years than I have, just because I seem too much younger than I really am, lol

I'm always honest about my age. I think you're right, and children shouldn't be so deep in the webz

It is true..I am aged 58 years

I am honest about my age in my profile. It doesn't bother me at all divulging my age. It is just a number. I usually check my friend requests before I approve them and I usually approve most friends. I agree that there is a percentage of youngsters here. There is a lot of adult material here at this site and maybe too adult for the younger ones that are teenagers to be roaming about. I think that a separate category for that age group might be more sensible. I have to admit that I have accepted some younger people as my friends here.

I have always been truthful about my age. I have no problem revealing it. I see no point in manipulating my age making it years younger. Sooner or later, it will just come out in the open anyway. Yah, i think it should be moderated. Something like filter the adults and underage. There are lots of predators here and we need to stay the kids away from them.

I am true with my age and I don't think it is beneficiary to hide our ages.And friendship has no age bars.And we should not confine with equal age friendship.Getting friendship with older people will gain us more prominent advice.And I like you to accept friendship with all ages as they may get valid advice from seniors.

me too, im always honest with my age and whatever age friend requesters are as long as i know them i would gladly add them but here in myLot i always accept new friends because i know we will be able to share our ideas with each other. age doesnt matter but as long as we are not harming each other then its ok to accept friends.

I don't see the point so I never lie about my age. I figure I've earned my years I'm not ashamed. I am on a couple of social sites and I don't usually add underage kids unless I know them personally, which does happen because I work with teenagers,but I don't just befriend random teenagers. I don't have anything in common with the teenage crowd and am not interested in making "friends" for the the shear numbers. I don't thing you should feel bad for not adding a kid that you didn't know.

No point in lying about it...

i am an honest man

ha ha ha ha ha... I never give the age much thought when I accept friend requests. As long as they do not spam me, I will let them sit on my list. I do not post much in the more adult sections of this site anyways, so it doesn't really bother me much if they track my discussions. I sometimes find it refreshing to speak to these teenagers. They offer a perspective on a topic that is totally different from one who has gone thru the hard knocks in life. Guess I find their enthusiasm with life infectious. But of late, I rarely find these teens around. They seem to have all disappeared to newer playgrounds already.

I am 54 and proud of it!! Therefore, I have no need to lie about my age. I do not interact on line with minors, unless I know them personally, like my family, friends and some students.

I have absolutely no qualms about revealing my true age which i have given in my profile, you can check it out. I am now past the time of hiding my age which ofcourse i never did before nor will do in the future. Though i am 63 i still feel as though i am 24 years old in my heart because i have a positive and never-say-die nature.My hair is still naturally black and many people are unable to guess my true age and do not believe me when i reveal it since they think that i am much younger than what i look.

I dont have the habbit to hide the age in any case if we hide the real age is not going to reduce. So no pointing being untruthful. Yes even I came to know that the very young children are in mylot who are studying in schools. There should be some restriction regarding the age. The children have their own studies and how they get the spare time in posting comments on mylot. Elderly people should keep an eye on this children at doing all these post in their study hours, which is very valuable for them but dont understand. Happy posting.

Hello Zandi I fully agree with you that mylotters should at least reveal their true age and gender too in their avatar.Very often when I am commenting on discussions of stangers I often look into their profile to check their age and gender before giving my comments on certain topics ,so that it will be more apt and well received.But I have seen there is a tendency among some people to hide their true age .But after going through the discussions it is possible to find our they are lying,and I dont like to comment to discussions of such persons who are cheating. Once a person claiming to be 60 requested for my friendship,but his discussions revealed that he was just a college student preparing for his exams.Now I have stopped commenting to that person's discussions.I do get friendship requests from youngsters who are the same age as my children.I love befriending them and they often are looking for advise and there is this chap who wanted to improve his English through mylotting.But such youngsters disappear after a while.But children below 18 chould not be made members of this site,and I have come across few of them,though I dont interact much with them....

The discussions I participate in are all PG so the age of my those who ask for me to be there friend doesn't really concern me. At our age I would hope I have a few things worthwhile to pass on to the youngens. I do look at every request though to see that they are actively participating in discussions and not just here marketing something before I accept a friend request.
