hey guys i put a question before you that what is the benefit of making so many friends online.i have seen some people who have 100s of friends,even they never exchanged their views,even they dont know eachothers names and yet they added eachother as friends.
Is this is not just a wastage of time?

What we call friends online are in "real life" just people we know. We dont need to know there names, dont need to know what they think because they are not an essencial part of our life. Lots of people just have many friends online only for the sake of telling others that they have many friends, even if they never heard of each other ever. This case in seen lots of times on facebook. Peoplejust add friends for people to think that they are well connected, when if fact they are just there as a collection.
It is a waste of time to me having freinds just to show off but it is a reality.

again thats your opinion and I must respect it but do not share it and disagree most heartily. I ha ve been here a long time and have had online friends who have shared via private message much w ith me and who when I was sick called here long distance to find out why 'I was missing from mylot. my so called off line friends did not
go to that much trouble. so you have your opinions and I have
very different ones. its not a wast e of myh time to make
friends here at all. and no its not to show off at all. I am a very]private person and do not try to impress anyone at all, I
could care less what you
may think of me at all. grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

What i was reffering to were those people that other have as friends only only and dont even bother to talk. There are many cases were people are always in touch just like in your case.
And i am pretty sure what you reffered to on you discussion was those who have many friends and dont even have any contact or just a little.
I have many online friends from around the world and if i feel that i want to be there friend then i will talk to them and develop an online relationship. And these friends are on an online server game with people of all ages in various places in the world. Yet i do have only a couple of them i could consider a friend and that is because i talk to them.
"i have seen some people who have 100s of friends,even they never exchanged their views,even they dont know eachothers names and yet they added eachother as friends"- My opinion was based on this part of your discussion and how it works with most of our society and not how it works on forum sites or other things that may imply a more closer and open relationship online.

Hi badar111...
There are some benefits that I think it is good to make friends in social network.
First, we can share your thoughts with your friends.
Second, you can learn new things from the differences that you have.
Third, you can get some helps to solve the problem that maybe they know how to solve it.
Fourth, you will always get the latest news from your friends. I am sure you will learn something.
Friends are exist to be cared, loved and share everything. Distances, gender, race, religions, languages are not a problem for friendship. Making friends is easy, fun and more simple than finding a lover :). If you think it is just wasting your time, just don't do it :D. It is that easy.
Happy mylotting.

not at all I feel very sorry for newcomers here as a lot of us older ones do not add them just because they are so very new. everyone on mylot needs friends as its a social network a place to meet others who may share the same views, a place to hold our hands across the borders and make friends from all lands. we help one other here and we actually learn from each other too. its not a waste of time,its a reaching out to help someone. we all were new here and found we did not know some things so older people here helped us . now I am older and I try to help newcomers too.and just for the record badar you are new here so how the hell do you know how many of our friends we have met? you do not so don't preach at me at all.
record badar you are new here so how the hell do you know how many of our friends we have met? you do not so don't preach at me at all.

I share messages with online friends, however,they are private messages that no one can view besides us. Post a question or a discussion and for sure all your online friends will give you a piece of their mind. They are there to help within the next minute. Have you ever experienced that with physical friends? The internet has bridge the gap between distance, culture and tradition. In this site, we don't consider race or creed but just the idea that we are communicating through our participation in the discussions. It's fun exchanging opinions and sharing your own, too.
