Well I've been here on my lot for a while and I'm wondering if the people that request to be your friends do you add them? Have you ever talked to them or are they just on there to help with your discussion? Would you consider any of the people you meet here to be real friends? I was wondering this because I've sent massages to some people trying to get to know them better, but never got a responses. I don't see the point in adding people that your not going try to get to know some what. If the only use of them is to help with discussions then personally i don't see the point of adding people.

Hi sisco. I get your point and I agree with you. To give a response in discussions you don't need to be a friend. First, when people added me as a friend I sended messages to thank them but only two have responded LOL. Now I don't send messages because people don't care about meet people here only to have many responses and earn more. I have two friends here that I talk with them sometimes by messages just to know more about each one and they about me. Sometimes we talk in the discussion and is great too. But I have only two friends here like this. The others most of the time don't give me even a reply in my responses nor to say thanks. LOL. Well, to be fair 4 or 5 do this LOL.

I add friends when I have similar interests in discussions. I have actually formed some real friendships with people on my friends list. I don't add everyone who sends me a friend request though. If their English is extremely hard to understand, if they participate in really offensive discussions, or if they have no posts at all, I don't usually add them. I like all my mylot friends, but I really cherish the ones that I know well enough to pm them and ask a question or whatever. I hope you make some true friendships here at mylot!

wow. thats cool that you've made some actual friendship one here. there are people that i get into really good discussion that they post and that i post, but thats as far as seem to go. i wouldn't mind make some real friends on here. most of the people that find me or i find are form different country's so its hard to have a real friendship with.

i have no experience likle this. So far who sever I have signed as friend and when ever I ask them to guide me or help me the are there and what ever information I need they provide me. It only happens when we sign as friend and forget to reply their discussions and attend to their messages may be they get annoyed and dam bother.

If you are not getting responses from others then don't think all of them are not responding. Here i think if you ask someone then you will get feedback. Also when you are asking them about them then there is a high chance of getting feedback. I have seen a problem in mylot. If you send someone a PM then they are probably not received it. I have checked it. I have sent someone a PM & he did not received it. Then again I have sent him PM and asked whether he recieved the PM or not. Now i ask everyone to respond if they recieved the PM. So i can be sure that they got the PM And the answer was "NO". This happened to me many times. So you may reconsider the response. This might be the case for you.

I add just about everyone who requests & then I turn on their notifications so I can keep up with their discussions. I have my email notification set to alert me to most events. Some have not become close friends & yes they end up being there to help me make money. It seems they are using me to help them make money as they never try & be friends. Others I have become close with & we have become very good friends & yes we help each other make better payouts. I believe the friendships come first & the payouts are secondary. Some of the people I added as friends have become close to me since I added them. As we participated in the discussions, we found that we had a lot in common!!! I try to answer ALL my PMs but some days my real life is just too hectic to get it done.

Are you here to make friends? I thought people join such sites to earna little money. As i am here to earn some money, that's why i don't expect someone to be my friend or call me or message me. We are here to help each other to get some money and not to become friends.Making friend on such a site is a pure wastage of time, b'cause I don't think these are the reliable sources to socialize. People themselves can be fake.

You can check out my profile, there are like 450+ members added as my friend, many of which added me and they are no longer using MyLot. If I access their profiles, on top it is written: No activity since last 60 days. The most responses I got to any of my discussion is just 36. In my opinion, people here just add you and forget to post replies on your discussions.

I accept every request that I get here. Some of my friends have been sending me PMs quite often and now I chat with a lot of them on gmail too. Have got quite attached to some of them and hope to meet them one day. Some of them do not always reply to all my discussions but it is okay with me. If I genuinely want their feedback on some discussion I PM them and ask for a reply and would expect the same from them too.

sisco I found out just how really wonderful my friends are when my power source for my computer went kapuk and I was off the computer for three weeks. they all emailed me and told me how worried they were about me, then when i got back 'on how glad to see me and know i was okay. so i have mylot friends that care about me and I care about them. they answer'my discussions, I answer theirs, but more than that we have shared 'so much, and learned from them, and cared too. I have offered' advice, accepted advice and stay in touch with my friends.

i add who ever asks me.. you never know who you might really be good friends with later on so its worth it in my opinion.. i have a few i think are real friends on here and will meet eventually but some people are just out for numbers.. i dunno about you but my messages area has been messed up really bad the last couple of days and before that i would think it sent something and it didnt so some of your emails to different ones might not have gone through
