Freinds on Mylot

India
March 5, 2010 1:29pm CST
I was wondring if having more freind just for the sake of having a good number of them is a good idea on mylot.. i have never tried to gather freinds randomly. i try to add only those that have interesting points to say. But sometimes i see people having so many freinds... i just cant understand the logic.. I wouldnt be able to respond to every friends discussion right now . how do the other peopple manage it ???

I have many names on my list of friends. Some really are friends and others are just acquaintances. I don't acquire friends so that I receive more responses. I don't use friends like that. We cannot communicate outside of the discussions unless we are on each other's list through PMs and many of those on my list added me to be able to ask when they have a problem. I respond where I can and when I can d and when I can relate to a topic, both to those on my list and to others too. I have been here three years and my list has just grown and grown and grown

Well i have been here for three years ( not exactly) but never added a lot of friends though ... right now when i am becoming a bit active out here on mylot.. i receive a few Freind requests everyday which i accept and i send a few... this way I also might be standing on mountain of freinds in a few months..

diana is it wrong to have a lot of friends? I do not understand this logic and furthmore it it not each one of us business how many friends'we have. some came to me so they could pm me,now I feel as if I have to defend my own reasons.Why? I do enjoy a lot of people on my list.Is that wrong? I do not stand on them either, and a lot of them pm a lot.

hi! no one says that he/she can respond to all of the friends discussions, because if you have 100+ friends here on mylot, and each of them post at least one discussion a day, then you will either have to spend more than 4-5 hours here or you have to type like a speed machine, so that you can reply to all of them We add friends or they add us, because they like the way we are posting, and someone also add friends, because of that what you say- to answer to their discussions

Some friends don't answer all the discussions that their friends post but they do land in their responses on other discussions just to let them know that they are still alive and kicking - or to wish them a great week-end!

Agreed one cant go on replying to every discussion posted by his/er freinds... its just a point of personal opinion and also time as phoenix posted... one needs to have a lot of time... i dont think that posting like a "speed machine" would help either one needs to have super brain too....

the key word here is personal opinion, and mine is my friends list is mine, nobody else's business, they pm me, they get in touch, and I do] not like being made to defend my own opinion.apocalypsereturns why not post more and do other things than spend a lot of time checking on our profiles and the sizes of our friends lists. I sort of wish that part could be shut off from the view of others myself.

hi apocalyhpsereturns what would you have an older user here do, tell every one of the many who ask to be my friends no ? I have not gathered friends randomly at all, all of the friends on my friends list came to me, not vice versa, and what harm are they doing if I cannot respond to all of them? you are indeed new here. what the hell criteria am I supposed to use according to you? if you had asked to be my friend and I had turned you down, wou ld you be happy with me? So you cannot understand the logic? well its simple people asked to be my friend when I first came, I accepted most not all,and I hate to deny everyone who asks. anyway its my logic and my business how many friends I have,noone else's at all.I never started out to collect any friends. bu t I do love a lot of the ones I have, and they have proved to be very good friends. go collect your own few friends,leave the rest of us alone.

I am sorry for Criticizing if i did... i never intended it that way.

I did not say you did, I am just saying that you wou ld not even know how many friends each of us had had you not been checking all our profiles, so if you want just so many fine, just do not criticize others for having more. You have a certain set of reasons, mine are different, so what I respect yours, now respect mine and leave off the comments about how can we do this or that? that is criticizing and who needs it.

When I first started I would get many friend requests and I didn't understand why since I had not interacted with any of the people. Then I realized someone would read something I put in a discussion and then send a friend request.

Personally I have one friend on here but don't care if I have any or not. Wouldn't check all there discussions anyway here to reply to random discussions not make friends.

Practice, caffeine, habit? Well either of these things can cause a mangeable thing or reaction time. I think if you practice it becomes a habit but caffeine gives it a little less time

i have also have a lot of members in my friends list. this is a thing so that i can have more discussions to choose and respond to. have more names in the friends list makes my inbox flood with notifications of new discussions. sometimes it is really tiring to read them all, but i have the option to read and respond. if i have no interest with the discussion or i can't relate to them, i simply delete that email and go to the next one. aside from having more discussions to respond, these members are also notified if i have new topic. but it's up to them too, if they will be interested to read and response to it. but it helps to get more responses in our discussion having more friends in the list.
