Do you think genuine, lasting friendships can happen on myLot ?

hi joram oh yes indeed you really can I have probably twenty five or thirty people here who have been my friends real friends for the two years I have been here, out of maybe 600 friends on my mylot friends list, and they are really very dear to me, we email each other, and when I was ill and off line I even got one telephone call from one person to find out if I was okay. I am not befriending anyone here to be a user of them, I genuinely like people and love mylotting and meeting and making friends. I do not ever use anyone.The only way to tell is for you to be a friend to that person and see what transpires,trust is essential in any friendship on line or off line. if the other person truly does care he or she will return your friendship twice fold so it does happen here for sure.Happy mylottingand good luck. God Bless.

true friendships can be made anywhere, even her in myLot. I've become really good friends even through chatting, so why not here right? of course one should be more discerning and i think people naturally retain those who they have a lot in common with. thats where the "online" friendship started anyways, by sharing the same opinions and interests.

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I think I do think that the genuine, lasting friendships can happen on myLot . For me, I think there are still a lot of well hearted man in the world now. If they keep in touch with me by ture heart, in return, I think I willl use my ten times ture heart to treat him or her. If he cheat me, I think the friendship must say goodbye.

I am not sure about that but I think its possible depending on the level of friendship that you have. I dont know if I will be able to trust someone as a friend here in mylot or even online friends. I am picky when it comes to friends and if I am going to establish a good relationship with someone online, it would need a lot of working out.

You can find genuine friends that will last here in myLot. Communications is one factor that helps friendship grow here in myLot. Though friendship is really hard to take effect in the net rather than in person. But we can surpass is through communications.

ofcourse true friends can be found everywhere even in cyber zone.. all you need to do is to give trust to someone.. dont worry if you can be hurt by someone you trusted cause this can help you to be stonger and can help you distuinguished from a fake and a true friend..

Friendship has to evolve over a period of time.In this forum, I have some wonderful friends and I am very happy interacting with them and sharing my thoughts.We have had no need to fear that this was a need based friendship whatsoever.But this feeling of assurance may come to you with some people over different points of time duration.But my group of friends is jsut ahandsful.Only with select few I share my mails.So far I have had no regrets.THere was no rating scale or anything.It just happened over a period of time.

yes I do. at least in my experience I do find at least 2 people genuinely care for me and I for them. I don't trust easily and can be quite 'cruel' in my effort separating friends from 'friends'. but it's worth it. they are still my friends now so it's a 3 yrs friendship and we have never met each other because none of us have money to travel abroad to meet. I first found them by their discussions. then we started replying to each other. and then it just happens. Probably just me. I met my husband online and married for almost 10 yrs now going strong. where as I never had much luck with those I met in real life, be it friends or lovers LOL weird, I know

I think we can be friends with mylotters but it would be alot different and limited as compared to the face to face real world friends. There are so many things you wont come to know about the friend through internet. I dont usually like adding friends on mylot because i hardly talk to them on any issue. I dont think that mylot friends can be longlasting at all.

I think true and real friendship can take place on Mylot, but like you said it's difficult to tell as friendship might be for a reason. You could always be able to tell true friendship from here by paying attention whoever is asking will be willing to do whatever it takes and also go the extra mile of taking it personal, asking for phone numbers, email and other ways to get closer and not by just Mylot mail. It takes also time and value of such people.

Hi joram328, Definately we can find friend anywhere, whether they are just a normal friend, true friend or a loyal friend. I believe to build up a friendship will need a lot of time, you have to get to know each other well enough before the relationshio turn into true friend, you have to know the real site of your friend...am I right? We all need friend, without a friend, we can't live in this world, you will be lonely, you will be sad, and always in bad mood, you will have no one to talk to, no one to tell your story, no one to chat, no one to share many things about yourself. phew...I this if really to talk about friendship, there will be a never ending story, Just like you and me, may be one day we can become a good friend eventhough we just get to know each other today, after we exchange information from time to time....hope so....:) I wish to be friend with all the member in mylot.... More friend mean less enemy....The world will be much peacefull.....!!!

Hi there true lasting friendships can be found anywhere.. I met one of my best friends on facebook.. If you get on well then you will in real life :) x

i dont see why not, i just think the problem is not being able to see them real life restricts you a bit, i have loads of online friends from forums etc. there great people and we have been friends for ages its just not as good as the real world ones, anyway the main answer is yes.

I think the friendship over the Internet can't be so close. I think ideal friendship can be made by knowing each other for long time, by knowing each others plus and minus points, by knowing his personality (No matter whether it is great or just average), by knowing thoughts, by knowing nature etc.... I think these things can be done ideally when we are in touch with someone personally and in real world, not in Net world. I accept that there are many exception there, there are many peoples who got married by the Internet with the help of chatting, social networking etc..... This is the my view on your question.

You can find true friends her i guess. Constant communication and trust is the key. I don't think it's impossible to find a true friend here. Not all mylot users are friendly just because you have a use for them but some are really true when giving a respond. Most people here, do mylot for fun and for making friends. I believe you'll find one true friend here and that would be nice. Happy mylotting.

Hi joram. My bestfriend is here on myLot too! SO I am sure that in that light, it's genuine. But since you mean people you just met here, it is possible to really find true friendship that transcends race, or any other differences. It may not be the usual personal, face-to-face way, but virtually, yes. However I doubt if it will be really THAT genuine, or LASTING since there will always be sides of us we can't show to everyone. I could say that my bestfriend knows me at my best and my worst. I don't know if anyone can do that as good as she does.

I`d rather doubt about it, but nothing is impossible, right?with intense communication and trust, we can have real friends no matter where where we meet; in campus, office, or cyber world.

Hi, I sincerely believe that a genuine friendship is possible only through a site like this. Other means of online friendship like chatting and other ordinary social networking sites are somewhat deceptive in identifying potential friends. How do we choose a friend in real life? We meet people, we talk to them. Then we come to know about their range of interests and also about their personalities. Now the same thing happens in myLot. Unlike other social networking site, you don't send friend requests to random persons here. You first study them, learn about their disposition and then make a decision whether to send or accept an add request. In some sites you can see one's profile before accepting or sending him a friend request. But in my opinion that is not at all a reliable source of information. The best way to know about a person is by continued conversation and conversation only. This is what we do here. People join here to express themselves and whenever we find a match with any of them, we want to become his friend. Now a friendship based on such genuineness is supposed to be lasting as well. Thanks God bless you

well if really each other wants to continue!!
