I do not know actually what made you think that mylot is not friendly. I have got many supports from many friends here. all start new and then gain experience here. i am also no different. so its not so.

It is not true, it is really easy to make friends here. I seem to help us, we are a big family. Maybe u are not encourages direct (not encourage by PM or something like that), but we all think about you and about new members. We want to help myLot and it means that we all make torn a community even more enjoyable. I think you got it wrong the way in which friends are here. It's easy! Answer discussions, start discussions, if you believe that someone has the same opinions as you or you like his answer, send a message and add it to your friends list. Good luck! Way, maybe after doing 100 posts you take you a star!

As in real life, friends take time to cultivate. If you shifted into a new neighborhood, you wouldn't expect that everyone will know you from day one or even the first week, right? But over time, if you show yourself to be open, trustworthy, friendly and sociable, more people will want to interact with you and become your friends (and neighbors in this case). It is the same here in myLot. I think people don't mind being someone's friend if he/she is very cordial and friendly, and interacts positively with others. If a person starts out here wanting everyone to become his/her instant friend, he/she may feel some resentment. Just be yourself, enjoy participating here and friends will show up at the door over time. Not everyone looks at star ratings. I certainly don't, and anyone can be my friend irrespective of his/her star rating. I think that's the same with many members here.

you feel hard to make friends because you often don't response quality post,and your star is only 2,that is mean you are not pass mylot,but you can often work hard and keep active in mylot,and also upload pictures and post good posts,then your star will increase. you can add whoever as your friends,people are very helpfull in mylot,they will add you too.

I'm sorry you feel it's difficult to make friends on myLot. I don't grand a friendship request to everyone. I go to their profile and look at their discussions and comments and interests. If we don't have anything in common I don't grant the friendship simply because a lot of new myLotters expect all their friends to respond to all their comments. If I'm not interested in what they're taking about I won't respond. I've found that some of them, unfortunately, get quite hostile about it and I'm not on myLot fight. I've had quite enough of dealing with petty squabbling while my 5 children were growing up. I'm here at myLot to enjoy friendly conversation. That's not to say I never grant a newbie friendship, or that you would be one of those that was hostile, that's just my reasoning behind not granting friendship to everyone that asks.

i understand and thank you for being so honest about how you feel there is a lot of scamming going here looking for people to make them money i can see why you interest is making friends that good.thank you so much for being honest.

well may be because mylot is a place to make money rather than friends. If you want to make friends then people go to myspace or something like that. People are more intrested in earning money.

why we can,t have both here make friends and make money some people have different goals here on my lot some people don,t care about the money they perfer to make friends here rather worrying about the money.

Well.. I think it is hard to make friends in myLot, especially when you are newbie, was because people don't want someone in their friendlist send them spams. I do that too. People in myLot knows each other from the discussion. They found some people are interesting, good in giving opinion, very active, having a good knowledge, so that they started some more personal interaction with them. After all, in this site, people are not only making friends. We discussed and we earned money. That's what usually people do here.

i understand all that but when you are new we have to start some where,yes people don,t know us but i can we as mylotter sharpen each other if we don,t encourage each other.if they on mylot spam cannot be done anyway you can get put off the site doing that so it has to be another reason then that.

I know... But it is hard to filter them. You know, I used to approve all people that add me as their friend. Lately, they all sent me spams in my inbox, and that was really annoying. I know I can just delete them, but it is not that. I know that there are some people like you, but you should understand other people's position and thought. Let's be considerate each other :) Thank you, and good luck :)

I think it's not very hard for me. I have made around 1000 friend. I'm happy with it. I always add the myLotter is I see there is new avatar or new myLotters. But this two days. I'm very busy so I have a less time sign in myLot, so I just keep focus in making a post and hope that I can reach my payout in the end of this month. I sure that you will be able to find much friend in the future. Keep post happy myLotting...

i agree - it is not difficult to make new friends here on mylot i am only new here, i joined about a week ago and have a few friends already i think the points above are correct mylot is about member interaction and discussions this is how mylot works my advice to you is when you reply to a topic invite the creator to be your friend when you start a topic state in the description that the readers can add you as a friend i sometimes add this point to the end of my replies not this one 'cause its the topic but you know what to do don't you 80)

is it? i cant believe this.. because i just joined recently here & i reached nearly 100 friends. i have some sentimental relations too here.. many of my friends have the habit of replying. so my friends circle is well developing here. i got many married womens in my friends circle (actually i came to know later that they are married n having childrens). anyway, i respect everyone here in mylot and i am considering everyone as family members itself. i think you are thinking to send friends request. dont feel shy at all my dear friend.. if your mind says this person can be your friend, then just give him a request. he will approve you in 30 mins to less than 2 days or a week. depended upon how he uses internet. Happy lotting!

It does tend to be hard when you first start out...ppl are leery of trolls on here. The best advice I can give is build up your post number (the number in brackets by your id) and when it gets to about 100 then invite ppl to be your friend. That way they have somewhat of an idea about who you are, what your like and if you and them are good friendship material.

For me, when I like the discussion I answer it with all the knowledge and experiences I had. If they will invite me as a friend, everytime I open mylot, I always prioritize my friends' discussions. If there are those who will not make friends with others, there are many who are friendly enough to help you increase your star.
