Does it really matter where we are from?

Hello ravitja, Chatters are always subjective in reason. I usually ask location for me to have a birds eye view of at least where from i am talking too. Our location affects and reflects somehow in our behavior in chatting. Its nice to chat with people from a place which you don't have an idea. For your experience, don't take it seriously there are many available fun to be with, open minded chatters waiting for you. Good luck!

I am very keen on traveling to different countries in the world. I like to make friends with people from all different countries. It doesn't really matter where each person is from but it is interesting. Some people on My Lot come from my home country and a lot of people come from the USA or the Philippines. Some members come from India and some other members come from China. There are not many members from a small country like Malta for example. When I find one I think that is lovely. I know a number of Indian people and really like them.

Well that's unfortunate. That's their loss. I don't do much chatting online. India must be really cool!!! It's surprising that people don't bite rather than shy away when speaking with people who are considered "foreign" to them. The only thing I could think of that might make me stop talking to someone is if there was a communication barrier, but you make it clear with your discussion that you're fluent in English and it's practically perfect. Hmm.

Hi ravi. It doesn't matter where you're from, this is what I think. Mylot is a place for people from all walks of life to gather together in one forum and share their thoughts and most importantly, make friends. From this, we can learn from each other, the culture and everything. It's fun and informative to me. Oh no, don't get hurt. Maybe they have their own preferences or what. Well, just carry on doing what you're doing and you'll be okay. Have a nice day!

I don't think it should matter at all where we are from. We are all people with a lot of the same interests and ideas. Sometimes communicating with someone o a different culture, background or race can give us new insight to life.

For me it's interesting to chat with people from other countries. I can learn what they do in their daily life, about their countries and cultures without leaving my couch. It's just great.

It is a common thing to ask where are u from? It's just a normal thing and i have said to many that i am from India and some would stop like u said and some would continue.. U know, u have to say that u are from a country of 28 languages which has unity in Diversity.. I just love my country and if some one is rude while chatting, just i skip with them and discontinue from chatting...

For me, and I am glad about it, it doesn't matter what part of the world a person is from as long as that person is a good person and love people of all races. I don't care what labels societies have placed on different cultures, I am sure you will find some people within that culture of good-natured as well as bad-natured. I am so glad I get that. So, no matter what geographical location my friends are from, they are my friends until they don't want be.

To me when I chat I write someone because they are interesting and I am learning from them. I have had many friends from India, and Pakistan and even other countries. I admire all countries and feel for the indurance of each of their cultures and histories. I have even started learning more about different religions in different cultures so I would have a better feeling about whom I was speaking with and to. Bless you and don't let one bad apple spoil the whole barrel so to speak Embrace the people that will allow you to be their friend, others might fall by the wayside, but real friends will stick around and get to know you for who you are not your race, creed, or religion!

If it matters to them, they are not your friends and not worth to be your friends. Friends are supposed to be equal in standing and there should be no discrimination or biased about anything. When they start to bother about where u come from or whatever, it goes to show they have something in mind, or even have a motive. Since u are not the one they are looking for, they will leave u alone and start to prey on others instead.

That's incredibly racist and awful. I didn't know myLot had a chat feature. I only get slightly annoyed at the broken English I have to read from some myLot members because English is their second language. It makes their posts hard to understand. I think it matters where people are from just because you will have more in common with someone from your own country.

hi, i think yes,so they could know where you are, or they can easily know your culture, and if they know that you are only near, they can easily reach you.

I for one always ask the same question when chatting, it's not I'm picky or something but it is really nice to know which part of the world you are chatting with. It could somehow bring up a good discussion to talk about and at the same learning their culture and people.

most of the times, when people find out i'm from Romania, either they get all weird or they become amazed when they think of all the sights here.. everyone has different oppinions and different ways to dealing with things. it might make a difference while you chat, if the other person knows where are you from, it might not, you can't know for sure.

Hello there! I don't think it matters what country you came from as long as you are nice and fun to be with. There are people though who think high of themselves and look you down when they do not like the country you are from but do not mind them at all, you are better off without them. Don't worry, there are far more open-minded chatters in the world, so cheer up.

hehe, well, I guess the guys with that response is not familiar with India. so his answer seems so blank. sometimes people just dont know anything about the topic, so they just give a brief answer.
