Many people don't seem to understand what the whole friends thing is about, and some people even deny friend requests or wonder why they should accept them. Others just accept them because they feel it's the right thing to do and they don't want to seem mean. None of those are the reasons to have friends.
You make friends on Mylot for two reasons. One is for discussions, the more friends you have, the more discussions you can participate in, and the easier it becomes to have your discussions seen and participated in.
The other is money, if you are running a business and displaying it through Mylot, you would want as many people to be your friends as you could possibly have. Then whenever you have a product that you think could help others make money you post it for all your friends to see.
So having friends helps you find discussions easier, helps your discussions become found, and helps you promote your business! Nice! :-P

I can understand your point here, but there are still some people I simply do not want on my friends list. I have accepted most of the people who tried to friend me, however there was one individual who made a very intolerant and cruel comment on a discussion I was in just before he sent the friend request. I turned him down. Money or no money, I have my standards.
That said, I love that I have so many frinds here. The first things I do when I come on is look at their discussions. =)

I am one of the ones that is picky. I do not have a webpage,or business on-line, so the only reason I request or accept is if they respond to my discussions or if they have good discussions that I am interested. I also accept any Girl Scout Leaders so I can brainstorm and get ideas from them.
As in your case i accepted because upon opening your profile I found several I would like to answer and look forward to more.
I will not accept cheaters or spammers, and also will not accept people who only give short answers.
I want only people whom are in my opinion good posters as friends.

That also makes good sense as I have seen some folks in mylot either spamming up the forums or creating discussions that are mindless. I don't really want them as friends, so it would be wise to choose your friends. Simply if you come across someone like this, then just delete them off your list.

Yes eventhough not here in mylot im happy to have a friends, asking someone here to be your friend is what members want to do, more friends more discussions to response. We are here to discuss our selected topics or our interest that is why we need many friends as we can, yah you are right the more friends the more pople who will respond, we earn in discussing any topics, but aside from earning i really enjoy this thing because i learned a lot.One thing that i noticed, some accepted me as their friends but only few were able to respond to the discussions i started. Hoping they view my profile, and be able to reply to it, maybe they were busy respondinng to some other discussions they like.Anyway i would like to thank them for accepting me as their friends.I have added you as my friend.

Well making friends at a discussion forum is very tough, as it is a virtual world at the end of the day. I have seen some threads where, the person is a male impersonating as a female and asking funny questions. Virtual world is too dangerous, you never know whether the person who you think is a friend is a psychopath, serial killer kind of walnut.
So, i don't take virtual friendships too seriously, however, i agree that having a lot of friends helps us find good discussions and maybe even a good chance of getting a best response or a positive rating. All these nice actions by our friends help us boost our ratings as well as earnings, so it is a win - win situation, which everyone will use to their benefit.
But then maybe i am wrong, because i have read a few post's where people clearly call each other friends, leave
messages and exchange good wishes, so a proper network of friends also exist at Mylot.

I agree, somewhat, with tammyr. I am not that picky, but I will delete anyone who starts spamming me or doing anything else that lessens my enjoyment of this site.
I mostly like to have friends here because it makes it easier to find a diverse group of discussions. Discussions I may have never seen, otherwise, show up in "discussions my friends started". I assume the same is true about mine.

you know only 3 person from my friends lot have responded to my discussions I am planning to delete them as soon as I reach 10 discussions as what I try to do is at least once a week sometimes more I check to see if those in my friend have new discussions and i respond to them and rate them but too bad i can't get the same ho well I'll probably have only 3 friends

I perfectly understand how the friend system works here at mylot. I am here to make some posts and start some of my own topics. I need some attention to my topic and for that we have the friends system here at mylot which helps us a lot. Everyone here are making friends and replying discussions made by friends which is a really good technique here at mylot. So what I say is make lots of friends in mylot.

i agree with you. I think on here its better to have and add more friends and have a wide base of friends, that way you will also have more discussions and a wide aray of interests in discussions to respond to.

Oh, and one more thing: Thanks for inviting me to be your Mylot friend. I know inviting may seem like a "job" for some, but invariably, there is a nice warm feeling that come with every invitation. Isn't that nice?

Come to think of it, everytime I read someone's post, I feel like I am already that someone's friend in a strange way. In every post, I find the person speaking to me directly, exposing some part of himself. That goes also for every reader who reads my responses. Then, of course, it does depend on whether the "speaker" was friendly in the post or not. cheers!

Mylot friends are good and polit and are very responsive and also creative in making their discussions. This is the first forum that I feel people are close to each other answering all their discussions and questions which make mylot mark a different among other forums there on the internet. The firnedly and helpful environment alone is a motivation to make good discussions and quality commennts and reactions.
I add friends because I want to expand my network of friends here at mylot and meet more and more friends.
To all mylot friends happy posting and hope you have a nice day! God bless you all!

yeah you are absolutely right....making friends do help in any spheres of life.....though in mylot its mostly because one can get noticed and that friends do help in responding to discussions.....theres no problem as such in making friends....may be people who deny friend request they just need a reason to accept....
