Or do you just make up discussions to get points? Now I know for sure some people do that. But are you one of them? It doesn't really bother me that people lie her because I don't personally know them.
But why can't people just be honest? Share you problems and experiences, I mean everyone has them right? What do you think?

well, its a nice discussion, but i think the question is slightly difficult to answer. sure, i dont lie on the forums here at mylot, but then , there are some discussions that i would have generally avoided, but then i replyjust because i am paidfor it! and i seriously wish to reduce this kind of posts that i make. i came here to enjoy myself, and i dont want to deviate much from this set ideal!

yes, i try to search for discussions which i have answers to or which i can relate to... in other cases such as poker where i knew someone who plays it, i mention it in my response referring to that someone... i don't pretend to be someone i'm not...

Nope, I never make up discussions. I look for discussions that I can relate to in some way or where I might have some advice, based on personal experience, or information, if that's what someone's asking for. I spend a lot of time reading here, before I ever post a word, and sometimes I'll log out without having increased my posting numbers at all. I don't want to waste people's time posting things that are irrelevant to the topic or that don't advance the discussion in any way. I also don't post to a discussion if I am going to say exactly the same thing as 50 people before me. I don't see the value in it. Sites like these are trying to build an interesting content base and, if I can't offer something to benefit that, then I keep on reading ;)

Yes, I only post topics that interests me. I wouldn't be able to give a good response if I'll just post in every discussion and lying in the process. Well, it's typical in the online world for people to lie so it would be hard to find an honest person.

What do you mean by lie? Be more specific. Do you mean like pretending to take a stand point that they don't really agree with? For example: they are against abortion but say that they are pro-choice? Or do you mean they just start topics that they don't really care about? Either way I personally only start topics that interest me, otherwise i'm just stuck repling to things I do not really care about with is terribly boring. and Why would I lie on my lot? My views are my view, I am not ashamed of them. Besides what are my lotters going to do even if they are angry or disagree? I do not really see a reason to lie on my lot.com

Like one person I saw in one discussion said she had marriage problems, then in another discussion said she had a bf cheating on her, and she said she was 24 and wanted to sleep with her boss who is married but in her profile she is 27. So ppl here have identity crises or something!

i've not lied here to get points or anything like that. i'm sure people do it but not me. there's no reason. i dont post something or respond to something that i am not truly interested in or know about personally. some people are compulsive liers and just can't stop but that's so stupid.

Everyone does have problems and experiences. Everyone should be honest. I couldnt agree with you more. I have been open and honest since I became a member. Even though I've only been a member for one day. But the old statement honesty is the best policy should always apply. When you share your problems in here you should always be honest, because you want an honest answer. Good Luck to you

I always try my best to be honest on here. Some points mat be a little muddles but it isn't because I am trying to make things up. I have seen some who do make up stuff and then turn around in a little while and start one that exposes it. At almost 63 years of age, I have a lot of life experiences to daw from.
