Friends from myLot, why should we delete/ignore them?

I think anyone that gets mad when a "friend" on mylot doesn't respond to their discussions is a little greedy and taking this all too seriously. Also they spend too much time on the computer for their own good. They need real lives lol Im not saying one can't have good aquaintances online, but I personally don't really believe in true friendship without real life interaction. Im not soo desperate for interpersonal communication that I use online life to substitute my real life. Leave the house, get some sun, breathe in real outdoor air lol :-D

The most disguisting is, some want to be your friends, and after that they send a message like this "if you reply my discussion i will rate your responds, and you should do the same to me, deal ?" Talking about leeching.

My understanding of friends on myLot tells me that if you become my friend you will repsond to my posts that appeal to you and I will respond to your posts in the same way. If we become friends and I keep my end of our friendship but you never post responses to my discussions I will delete you. Friends on myLot are usually people we have never met and a lot of them just request a friendship even though they have not responded to a single discussion we start. IF you accept these people as friends then you need to PM them and set the rules. :)

I dont think fair if we have to delete our friend necause he didn't respond to your discussion at that time. maybe he have no idea, or he not intrested with the topic or he offline that day and so on.Maybe next time he will response your discussion when the topic which you have started were interested him/her. And i agree with you ropinion about this matter.Here we have so many type of friend and we must respect each other. "Happy with mylot"

Well i don't want to delete any of my friend. it's alright for me, if i have a zero respond in my discussion. I don't mind :) Well for that's life. there are so many thing to deal with. one of the things is having a friend. there are so many different kind of friend and i accept them. I don't either force myself to find this particular friend or force my friend to be someone that i want. I just accept them :) Well will you be my friend. i would like to be your friend :)

Other people's perceptions/opinions will probably differ from mine, but here are my thoughts on the subject. Friends on myLot, or any other social site, are not the same as friends in person. While there may be some instances where they are the same people, or where a myLot friend becomes an in person friend, social sites like myLot allow people to get to know others from all over the world. It is impractical to get to know all those people in person. I will check my friends postings to see if they've made a post that interests me. I won't post on a discussion they've started if it doesn't interest me. I will rate as I see fit. I won't just arbitrarily rate a friend's post positive because they are my friend (I saw a discussion that someone started where they actually admitted to this practice, and they also commented that they didn't want "cheaters" as friends). I currently have all my notifies set on, so I recieve email when my friends post something. That may be impractical for those who have lots of friends, or very vocal friends, but it does allow immediate review of a friend's discussion fairly quickly. My $0.02 at the moment.

I feel everybody has different take on what friends on mylot means to them. frankly if you have more than 200 friends like i do and when your typing speed is so slow that sometimes you makes less than ten posts a day. Then i don't think even if half of my friends post discussions on a particular day that i will be able to reply to all of them let alone starting my own discussions and then commenting on that. Besides if one is not interested in topic or has nothing to add to the add to the discussion then it is no point posting just to please one's freinds o mylot. Besides there are lot of interesting posts to read, reply ,comment with slow typing speed and if you are multitasking it does time. I like having mylot friends as i get more interesting discussion to choose & reply to, besides yes i get chance for more mylot members to respond to my discussions. I feel one should just chill & enjoy whole mylot experience and getting few bucks doing that.

In a similar discussion, that I started, someone criticized me for having so many friends that I cannot respond to their every discussion. I pointed out there that these people for the most part have requested to be my friend, and I have to have a good reason to turn them down. I like having lots of friends. That being said, I will not respond to every one of the discussions that everyone of my friends starts, because I may not have anything useful to add to the discussion. "Yup, me too buddy! uh huh!" just will not cut it for me. I feel like it is someone's privelege to add or delete friends as they see fit, and should not be a crisis as such. Some people feel like they have to respond to everything their friend posts, I don't. I am bothered if someone posts a lot, and does not respond to anything of mine, though.

I believe in reponding to a discussion thats of interest to you, where you can respond with your point of view or give infomation etc. and not just reponding because they are on your friends list. Saying that I do go to disscussions my friends started first to see if there is anything I want to respond to. It doesn't bother me whether my friends respond to me or not as long as I get responses. I don't delete them just because they are not responding. It also depends, if you have a lot of friends it's near impossible to respond to them all.

I think that if my friends are expecting me to awnser every single discussion they start than I wont have very many friends soon. The first thing I check when I log in is the discussions my friends started and when I see what appeals to me. I guess some people just want all there friends responding to all of there post, I think they're expecting a bit to much

I think you have to get mad about why friends don't response to you discussion. Maybe your friend didn't have any experiance on that kind of topics or discussion. Well if they lie and try to pretend they know about it and respond, that will be such a waste of space in the page of discussion. Sometimes if do post a lot of discussion but all of it is meaningless and really show you don't meant it, that's also lying to your friend plus you don't even comment on their responses that totally unprofessional.
