Mylotting is UNCOOL

Philippines
October 9, 2008 11:31pm CST
No way! Well, my friends and I were catching about each other's lives last night (we haven't been out for 4 days, hehehe). We were actually trying to make use of the remaining days I'll be here in the Philippines before I go to US for my 3-month training. Anyway, I started talking about how much I enjoy mylotting and my friends were raising eyebrows while I'm talking animatedly. Then they tease me mercilessly that I'm sooooo uncool for spilling my beans online for other people to read. Gosh! That's uncool? No way! I wasn't mad actually, I enjoyed the bantering, I know my friends (please forgive them), they just love to tease me so I tease them back as well. I was thinking about it last night on my bed though. I still think mylotting is cool, no matter what my friends say. What do you think? Do you think sharing your views and opinions, even your personal life here in mylot is uncool?

well, i don't care about what my friends say about mylot... they can say whatever they want... but i still think that this place is cool and i had gained a lot from here... the most important thing is, you enjoy being here... so just ignore what your friends say and just have fun here... take care and have a nice day...

My friends and I enjoy the same things, well, except for mylot, that is, probably because they never tried the site yet. But I'm sure if they give it a chance they will think mylot is cool! They'll never deprive me of my happiness, they just like to clown around, hahaha! Thanks for the response Joiemarvic, have a great day!

i think it is cool, when you share things here.. when you are able to say freely how you feel and not fear of being misjudged, or even judged for that matter. i think everything is really well with mylot.. besides you get paid for your opinions too.

MyLot is way cool. I like it here very much. But I know some of my friends would tease me about it too. Friends like to tease. I don't understand some of the gaming that my friends or into and I guess I'll tease them someday. To each his own.

Hi there. It's quite amusing, how things that everybody does are automatically dubbed cool while things that few are interested in are automatically dubbed uncool. I think that the only reason they think myLot is uncool is because it's not that popular, unlike Friendster, or Face Book or whatever social networking sites that I don't want to have anything to do with just because everybody is saying that I should join them because I enjoy being contrary and uncool. I think people should stop being obsessed about the concepts of stuff being cool or uncool. As long as you enjoy what you're doing without stepping on other people's toes, then go ahead. Kudos to you for not letting what your friends say stand in the way of you enjoying yourself in myLot. And no, sharing your views and opinions isn't uncool. On the contrary, it is quite healthy and enriching and you get to meet friends while learning stuff. I don't know whether myLot would become as popular as Friendster or other social networking sites here in the Philippines but, well, if it does, then I guess we'd know who'd be the cool ones.

My sentiments exactly! I love your answer nekotanya, straight to the heart of the matter! Friendster is indeed dubbed as cool by others because it's more popular. And you're very right in saying that loving and enjoying what you're doing is definitely not uncool. Nahhh! My friends can't drag me away from mylot, I love this community, too many nice people to talk to, too many great discussions to participate to, too many worldwide information to pick-up. Happy mylotting!

Hmmm, I like your friends, very playful but they're wrong, MYLOTTING is REALLY COOL! You get to meet cool people and exchange cool views with them. So, you're "going away". I hope you'll still have time with mylot abroad with your busy training schedule and all. Give my regards to Uncle Sam!

"Birds of the same feathers, ARE BIRDS" Hahaha! Yeah, we are a playful bunch Ms. M and that makes me love my friends.

See you around Ms. M!

I wouldn't say it's uncoool. I would just say spilling too many beans is dangerous though, so other then that nah, it's not uncool. It's cool that you can take their bantering with a light heart though, and if they knew you could make money from it I am sure that they would be on here themselves trying to make something. Have a great day.

Being too personal is really dangerous, I admit I'm guilty of this too but it doesn't make the site uncool though and I welcome the earnings too! Thanks for dropping by SomeCowgirl, see ya around!

I'm embarrassed to share my mylotting experience with others which is why I don't have any referrals. It's not the in thing to do with my crowd I guess. But I enjoy it. It's like a guilty pleasure for me. No one really knows that I earn money online even my family. They just think that I have a job and that's it. But I don't think mylot is uncool, it's just misunderstood.

I don't think its uncool at all, although I really don't talk about mylot to my friends very much. I talk about some personal things here that I would rather not have my friends know about so I try to keep it to myself. That said, there is nothing uncool about mylot at all. Hugs, Tianna

Try talking to them about it Tianna, so we can see their reactions, hahaha! (Now why am I playing the devil's advocate? LOL! I understand your point too, I sometimes expose some personal things here in mylot that my friends will really tease me like crazy about if they find out, so I suggest you keep this to yourself. Mylotting is cool!

It is not uncool, mylotting is way cool The nice thing about being in an online community is that everybody is spilling the beans about themselves and you never know if they are being truthful or not but it doesn't matter usually

Hi LEGman, hehehe! Now that avatar is really cool! One of the many examples of cool people in mylot! Yes, I dig that point about talking just about anything under the sun without really knowing the truth behind it. Sometimes it matters, sometimes it doesn't. That makes mylot even cooler! Keep posting!

Yeah it's kind of nerdy. You sit in front of a computer and type instead of being outdoors and strutting your stuff talking to hot people. Who cares as long as you are making some cash and having fun.

My friends are the same, they laugh at me for posting on Mylot but try and get me to join facebook which I won't, I prefer to just stay here, I think it is cool to Mylot, and you don't have to spill your beans...each to their own i guess.

Who is WildWEtJoyce? Despite talking about your personal matters you are still using a nickname. So no one can trace you here. I do agree with you that I do enjoy mylot and I don't care what others might say.

I enjoy Mylot, but only those closest to me know about it. I'm not sure how others would react to it, so I really don't tell them.

it depends on how you put it. i think mylotting is cool, very cool. i really don't have anything to do these days aside from attending my training. so for me, it doesn't hurt if i'm a couch potato in front of my PC just to post responses and reading other people's opinion. it's better be this way spending my time on the net than just watching youtube everytime i'm online.although, yes, i'm sacrificing my personal interaction with real people, but still i'm benefiting from mylotting! chEErs!
• Philippines

Yes, you are absolutely right! If one is to stay online, mylotting is a much better way to pass time than other sites. I just hope though that you really aren't sacrificing your personal interaction with others. Thank for sharing rymebristol!

Well, I'm really new at this, but i think it's a good way to practice writing. I'm from a third world country where freedom of expression is a hoax. So this is a great way to express myself. Someone might read it and sometimes I have things in my mind that i need to clear, and the web is so vast, that there's a small possibility that someone might read my thoughts and agree with me.
