depends. if you're asking how many i have on my friends list, it's quite a few. actual friends, however? the list is a bit shorter. not really into counting or collecting, tho, so i couldn't really tell you off hand. the people who are truly close to me know who they are.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Its a wee bit like Facebook. You get people who just want as many "friends" as possible. I dont see the point. If they want a wee chat, then fair enough, but to just add you then not speak.....nah.
I have a few friends in here, they are a bit closer then most of the people on my friends list.
But I also noticed that it all can be over in a splitsecond, so I am still not sure about my opinion of what the online friendship is worth, compared to real life friendship.
I try to interact at least a little with most people on my friends list, and if that doesn't happen at all I mostly unfriend them after a while.
Loads. I'm a popular son of a bitch.
(No, really; my mum is a bitch. I still love her though.)
too many. i only chat with a handful
Like most newbies when it comes to a place like Lush, I too had hundreds of friends when I first joined and carried the 'socialite' status that seems to brand most profiles on here. I pretty much accepted friend requests from anyone and everyone and dove head first into the deep end of debauchery with vim and vigor. Lots of fun was had (oh yes!) but also (and thankfully) some lessons were learned too and as a result, I've done some major house cleaning more than once since I joined. Just as my profile says, these days, my friend list is put together based on the quality of the people I meet and not on the quantity and I'm perfectly happy with that.
If you're a writer, having an extensive friend-list on a writer community site is pretty standard. If a person comments on your stories, follows you as an author, favourites your stories, writes a personalized message, mentions they like your forum posts or says they are a fan of your writing, it just seems kind of snobby to snub them. That's how I see it anyway. I have the same policy across any social media site that involves promoting my writing. I accept *most* people who send me a friend-add. And I'll send add-requests to people as I think of them, if I like their style or their writing or we've interacted on some level on the site. I don't see it as a big deal. I can understand how it might be different for someone that primarily uses the site for social reasons and typically stays visible/accessible online - they might want to keep their list tighter.
As far as regular interaction and chats go - I have a very small core crew that I talk to fairly often. Those friendships evolved naturally because we just seemed to vibe together well as people or were able to bond over something.
As a social media virgin, I don’t know what I’m doing. But in the first week or so, I have four friends so far.
I’ve heard it’s a good idea to limit your friends to only those you’ve met in person. But the nature of Lush, and the likelihood that anyone in my real life will ever know I’m here, I don’t think that’s going to work too well. Instead, I’ve been limiting it to other authors, as I’m here more for the writing than an e-ffair.
I like Dancing-Doll’s take on it though. Given my aspirations, I’ll be spending my next procrastination session trolling through the comments on my stories and reaching out. Strap yourselves in!
My latest story is a racy little piece about what happens when someone cute from work invites you over to watch Netflix and Chill. Although, I feel it is nice to make friends on Lush. I don't particularly like those friends who all they do is make friends nothing else. I guess now it maybe 4 or 5 friends.
Lush friends:Zero.
Lush users on my friends list:17.
I tend to delete users often off of list.
I find it useless to have a bunch of users on said list and not blk box(lush instant messager) but it does make sense for writers to add users as it allows them to get in contact w/ lovers of written art.
I rather have a few whom I know enjoy lush just as much as I do.
I'm always open to meeting new cyber humans but some shoot their chances off the bat telling me their well rehearsed sad lifetime story.
to many really, most do not interact.
To many I think, many do not respond to a simple hello. I think they just want to see pictures of my wife.
None, but I just joined today. And chat/sexting/friends is not my reason for joining. Greatly enjoying the stories and a few pictures. Hope to be inspired to write some stories.
66 gross. If you deduct a bunch who haven't been around in years, probably the net is significantly lower. And the number who I actually interact with regularly vs. ones I haven't spoken to since they were added is probably quite a bit smaller still.
9, I believe....I had more at one time, but either I never knew when they were online because they were always invisible, or they were not interested in chatting. Those that have been deleted are now not very fond of me, because they were deleted. It seems every one's definition of a friend is different.
179 friends. 352 followers. Most friends don't interact with me. Usually they ask me for a FR after reading my stories or my forum posts, and I very rarely turn down FRs. I only have a handful of genuine friends online with whom I converse on a regular basis.
Just a handful, as I intend to keep it that way.
67. Would love to make it 69!
22 so far, I'm glad they keep increasing.
. I never send out friend requests though....Im not here to try and pull anyone. And I dont post much, so maybe thats why.
