Do you love to collect mylot friends?

Bunny sending her love to her 35 friends! - Bunny will forever treasured her 35 friends who never failed to support all her discussions. She doesn't mind having a small group of friends. What's the point of having a huge friends on mylot when not everyone cared enough to remember your threads. To all my 35 friends, my deepest appreciation for being with me.

I've been here for 3 months already and have a total of 160 friends on my list. Earlier, I went through my list again and took note of the following: Only 35 friends are actively participating on my discussions...how sad :/ 21 friends are actively posting their own threads but forget mine...another sad thing :/ I had requested friendship to 30 members only in the span of 3 months...uh huh, I'm not friendly enough, am I??? 130 friends requested to be on my list...thanks! I have 15 pending friends requesting to be on my list... It is not my nature to keep requesting for friendship to anyone here. You can all say I'm very selective in choosing my friends but I never denied any friend's request. Do you love to keep requesting friendship to any mylotters? What is your reason for doing so? Is it to generate huge responses to your thread? Do you cared enough to respond to your friend's discussions? Are you simply collecting friends for your profile? Are you one of those who are so selfish that never partook in any of your friend's discussions? How would you feel if your friends didn't respond to any of your discussions? Or what...Do share your thoughts. PS: I wish I can list down all my 35 precious friends who never failed to support me. You all know who you are. My gratitude for all of you.

I guess I am more friendly than you, bunny. I love making friends and it doesn't matter who extends the request. I like collecting them so I file them away when I get them. Like for you, you are under the "C" tab. So when I need you, I will open the drawer and take out the whole chunk of spy reports starting with "C". That's how organised I am. You know, you need to be if you want to rule the world. :P

A special carrot for my baby wizzy! - My special carrot for you, wizzy! You never failed to show your love and support to me. I will always treasure this rare and special friendship we have. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. "hugz"
I love to be under the "C" tab. A nice reminder that "C" is for carrot. Both of us know what a friend really means, baby. You can be friendly with all the whole mylot community. But you can only count on your fingers who you can rely to in times of need. This is a sad reality.

I can't say that I love to collect friends here but I do enjoy having alot of them here at Mylot. I have collected over 500 friends so far since January. I'm not usre how many of my friends are actually helping me on my discussions. I can hardly keep track of them. I have some pending friends requests also. They haven't accepted me yet. I request friendship to those members of whom I can relate to or need to correspond with. I accept all reqaests also. I just like to have alot of discussions to go through and respond to instead of going through the Mylot site in search of discussions. I'm not selfish and I will respond to any discussion that I can relate with. I am active with all of them. It doesn't bother me a whole lot when a friend doesn't respond to me because I know alot of us have alot of friends to respond to each day. I hope I am one of your 35 friends who responds to your discussions. I think I am, but I am not sure about it. I respond to alot of discussions each day and my mailbox is full of them.

I will always look in the Profile and see if I want to accept the Person and my one thing is their Discussions As to many are now just requesting for the sake of requesting When I apply to someone it is because I like what I see and because they responded well to a Discussion So I am very Choosy (blushing) But to many are joining now and requesting without any Discussions or Points to me all they want is to have a Friend list or all you see in their Discussions is about making Money so you know they will just PM you links so no thank you I have my Special Friends in my list to and you all know who you are and I will do anything for them as they are loving and caring Charms thank you for being my Friend xxxx

Hi, Charms. Like you I'm quite selective in choosing my friends. Before I request friendship, I have usually determined that I like the person and the topics he/she raised. I do try to respond to friends' discussions as much as I can. If somone requests for friendship, I try to look first into his profile before approving it.

A friend advised me never to turn down any friend's request to avoid offending anyone. But look what I have gotten myself into. I will start to choose whom I will accept as my friend. Otherwise, I will delete them without hesitation. You have been very supportive of me from the beginning. My deepest gratitude for you.

Hi Charms. I have always enjoyed your discussions so I'm pretty sure I'm in the 35 friends that your thanking. If so then your more then welcome *smiles* and if not then I'm really sorry and I'll try harder *sighz*. To answer your question ... when I first came to mylot I was never really one for adding people. I started off with a ten star and have managed to keep it thank goodness so a lot of people were requesting to be my friend. At first I wasn't really picky because I was new and was desperate for the friends lol. Now when I get a request I still accept everyone because I have never been mean enough to reject people. I have deleted a few but that was because of their own spamming stupidity. I have no tolerance for that kind of crap. Take care and I will continue to answer your discussions because I enjoy them, thanks for being a friend Charms!

Hello Charms, Such a sweet bunny thing to post! I'm happy to share my perspective on your informative and thoughtful post. Having 35 active friends is a real treasure!!! I learned a very powerful lesson just yesterday on how 'genuine' our cyberfriends can be! (wink, wink) If you have 35 folks who are committed to exchanging thoughts and ideas with you, faithfully ... then your are a very blessed bunny indeed! Now here's an interesting flip ... I tend to think it's selfish of me to limit my friend's list. I like to keep it small, and limited to those folks who I really enjoy interacting with. This way, I can truly dedicate the time to cultivate the cyber friendship. By doing so, I am probably missing out on some great people and their discussions, but I do not want to disappoint. So I do my part by not biting off more than I can chew. This way I can treat all of my friends attentively and respectfully. Oh, and as to your statement about not being friendly enough ... hahahaha ... rotfl Thanks for everything! -Ladyluna

LOL, ladyluna...in my three months tenure at mylot, I've seen a lot of "snakes" here. I can give my 100% support but I can't tolerate anyone abusing it. There are a lot of new friends who will PM me about something, and yet never bothered to reply back after I patiently gave them my answer. Now thats snakyyy. I am only friendly with those who deserve it. Otherwise, I can only show my fangs to the undeserving one. You know you are included in my precious 35 friends whom I can depend on. Here's my special carrot for you.

I do add and request for friends here on mylot, but I do not expect each and everyone of them to respond to my posts. As I love responding more and often start my own discussions, so I still cannot say that I know most of their discussions. What I mostly do is, skip and look for other topics on which I know I give my very best thoughts. I just hope that they do have the same views as mine, in which they understand me too. The only thing that troubles me is, when my friends or members of which I responded to never puts a comment below my response. I like discussing and interacting more, that for me, is already a great reward to be appreciated by others..

I like having friends too, but it doesn't matter to me how many I have. I rather have friends who I communicate with, then having them on my friends list, but never responding. I also like having just enough, to handle, so that I don't drown. I like to try and respond to my friends. Sometimes, I really don't have anything to contribute, so I don't. But usually there is something, I can always respond to. I am greatful for the friends I do have. It is nice to know, I have a place and people I can come too, and socialize with.

Charms that is such a nice question, no I do not collect friends if you have 30 people to whom you requested friendship it is good amount I have till date requested none, don't get me wrong here or judge me too fast. I will tell you why.... When I started mylotting at that time I found people particulary incensed about the fact that newbies like me kept requesting for friendship and that they were not sincere enough and the older mylotters were in dilemma as to should we accept or deny. SO I said to myself "Dea you are going to just answer people's threads and not ask for their pity or force people to accept you as their friend" also I felt why would anyone accept me as a friend, they know nothing about me and there is no history whatsoever to check back on to find out what kind of person I am. SO I have a list of favourites like you where I go and post answers regularly. Once I reach a 1000 then I can ask people for their Friendship Handshake and if they want to check out what kind of a person I am they have a 1000 post to my history to check out and then decide. Also I shall be a newbie no more requesting to be friends and then not replying to my friend's posts (which a lot of newbie's do). I also make it a point to reply to my friend's posts first, that is if I can answer a post in 4-7 lines in the least if I do not have even 3 lines of material it is quite worthless and in that case I would PM the friend rather than post a meaningless answer/thoughts. I find quite disgusting if I have to say something with "I don't know" or "me too......". So I just stay out of those threads. Also I do not respond to much of the religious and political questions as my answers are always going to get the board flamed.... so better not touch those topics at all, I would rather discuss them in private. I also do not deny any of the hands that extended asking for friendship ( I remember I was a newbie too) but I follow my friends responses etc I also watch if they respond to my discussions or not and how good they are in their own discussion threads....and if after sometime I find the friend to be a person who is just collecting people for their list I just drop them from my friends list and be done with it. Well that is long winded and that is me Charms thanks for asking:)

A special carrot for deaxyza! - Bunny is offering a special carrot for deaxyza. Hopefully, this will be the start of a good friendship.
I know what you mean, deaxyza. I had been denied many times as a newbie too. It didn't deter me to keep on building my reputation here. This is something that I can't understand about some older users. Why they should be in a state of predicament even publicly posting about it. If a new user with 2 or 3 counts wish to be my friend, then I just accept. When I saw a newbie's thread with 0 response, then I will respond there. I also skip on some threads that I deemed sensitive or way too personal. I am a very private bunny and there are some issues that are better left unsaid. I do not envy some members who have about close to 1000 friends. I prefer a small group where I can be assured that I'm always on hand to support their discussions. You are not among my list of friend yet. I will add myself as your friend and whether or not, you SHOULD accept me, LOL! For this thread, I decided to bestow my special carrot to all 35 friends of mine. But I will you give one too. I highly appreciate your input.

I tried checking on your previous discussions. I have to honestly say that I can't respond to some of your threads. Your discussions are too specific. Like the responders have no choice but to pick which one they like from what you typed down. Try to widen your scope. Go for something that all responders can relate to. Good luck.

well in my case yes i love collecting friends here in mylot. As of now, I think I have more than 500 friends but not all are actively participating in my discussion. I can remember one discussion of mine having the maximum response of 95 out of my 500+ friends. Not all really answers every discussion put up by his or her own friend. On the discussion, not all that answered my discussion are my friends, some are not. It really depends on the type of friends you have. Sometimes they just add you for the visibility of friends but not answer even a single word. After observing those facts here in mylot, whenever I receive a friend request, I make sure that the person is an active mylot user for future purposes. They answer my discussion, I answer theirs vice versa. It is only a matter of give and take relationship here. You earn and at the same time I earn also. It is a good way to promote friendship here also. X)

I know what you mean. That's what I'm pointing out here. What is really the point of having such huge friends when only 1/4 of them or even 1/8 are actively participating in your threads. Anyway, I'm over this "upset with friends" stage already. My reason for posting this one is for the other "friends" to realize that I'm aware of what they are doing. I will not delete them. But I will turn their notifier off. Thanks for the nice input, mzkamela. You are among one of my 35 friends who supported me too.
