"I'd find it strange if anyone said it's not possible for people to be friends. There will be people who won't have an interest, but that's different. I do think it would be good if on profiles there was a "looking for/open to" option that listed friendships, relationship, casual etc. Now, you'd still get people lying just to get the ride but you'll never stop that either. " What a great idea | |||

"It's more than possible once you sort the wheat from the chaff. I've made great friends through here some of who have left the site for various reasons but we are still very much in touch. There will always be some people though who are very good at playing the part but it's only a matter of time before their true intentions shine through. Some are very obvious while others play the numbers game and the perceived popularity game to great effect. " This is so true | |||

"Anywhere people meet its possible for friendships to form. The type of friendship might vary, as some have said they could be superficial, or focus on a shared interest, or be people you like to have a laugh with at socials but dont see much of otherwise. "When we understand the old adage, 3 types of friendships –reason, season, and lifetime – it explains why we meet friends, how we keep friends but also why we lose friends through change." " Reason, season, and lifetime..... this describes friends perfectly | |||

"Questions: Do you think being actual friends on Fab is possible? And if so how or why?" Absolutely, I have several and we keep in weekly contact through WhatsApp or social media. It's a mutual respect and understanding, being there for a simple hello or to discuss troubles etc and be a listening ear for each other. Sometimes Fab can be a little more than just a play ground | |||

"I've found that it's hard to find very good friends that you can trust on here. Yes we all make friends of a certain kind but one's you can rely on seem to be very few, obviously just in my opinion and experience that is. I'm hoping the longer I am on here the more this opinion will change." Trust is very important in a proper friendship even if you don't live in each others pockets. On a site like this where optics are important many friendships are flaky because often others use them as the next step on the ladder before moving on to their next bestie. I keep my circle small and chat to less than a handful. Last year was good for cutting loose the spongers and hangers-on. I don't believe in the fab community mantra because if people contact me through something I've said on the forums with unsolicited private information about other fabbers I often wonder how those "friends" they are telling me about would feel if they knew their info was being passed around? Why someone I've never spoken to before would think that telling me who's stalking who and who's been shagging others in their home without their knowledge would encourage me to trust them or be their friend I'll never know but that's the wonderful world of fab friendship. | |||

"..no strangers on Fab, just friends you have not met." I disagree with this to some extent. I don't claim to be infallible and I've chatted to and met people who I classed as friends only to have something we had discussed in private repeated to me in a forum comment by another fabber. Obviously an attempt by that person to show they are in the know but in doing so have shown me that the person I called my friend was actually a complete stranger. Fab is full of storytellers and for some it's their USP which is fine when it's their own story they are telling. When you sit in a group social and listen to some holding court and not only telling all within earshot the real names of other fabbers who aren't even there but non fab related tales involving those friends of theirs, it reminds you why you keep your circle small. Some might be ok with that definition of a shallow tenuous friendship but I'd rather talk to people I can trust. | |||

"I met 6 fab friends today too. No, I don't talk to them on daily basis, not even weekly, but that's what friends are - people who don't get upset over long times of silence and who can pick up things from where you left them with no grudges or bad vibes. People who love you and support you and care for you. People, who you would never dream of harming and you know damn well will never harm you. Oh, who can also share a laugh and vent

Missus "This
These are the only people I consider true friends. Some I haven't seen in almost 2yrs but know that it'll be like we saw each other yesterday, when we do meet up in the coming months. We just know each others personalities and the catch up fills in the details of what's happened in each others lives since we last spoke.
No hangups, no "why didn't you call me" bs, no one upmanship. Just genuine delight at being able to reconnect.
Haven't found that on Fab myself yet, though there's one or two I could see it getting to that point, all going well.
It can happen anywhere and just be open and honest with people and you increase the chances of it happening | |||

If you click and get on with others theres the possibility of friendship be in normal or fun fun friendship. I’ve met people before trough fab and am still good friends with them some still here some not still here. I think theres a stigma or opinion that you can’t make friends on here. | |||
