"I've made friends at a weekend retreat. We never swapped numbers but bonded over that experience and formed a friendship for that moment alone. I think the term friends is misused on here at times because it's used as a mechanism to get private pictures by being on a list. I have wondered if the internet use of the word friend has played a part in devaluing the connections for some? I've said everything else on the Mavis thread. " Exactly, friendships can be fleeting, but if they're meaningful at that time then they shouldn't be discounted. I have friends on here who aren't on my friends list. They don't need to be. They're people I'm never gonna bang but do value their brains. P | |||

"I have people I have got to know through fab that make me smile every day, some even seem to know me better than I know myself. I have people I know from here that can make a shit day into something more bearable and make me laugh when nothing else can, if that's not friendship then I don't know what is." Agreed. P | |||

"Online 'friendships' haven't lasted for me in ten plus years. I find them very fickle. It'll be rare I'd ever open up and tell people secrets. I'd have to meet the regularly to trust. Good luck to those who find it easy! If it works for you, great! " Don't get me wrong I'm very guarded but I'm also an open book. I've been burnt by trusting too easily and not noticing the signs of drama lamas whilst relatively new. P | |||

"I met my ex husband and my current partner online. Pretty much all of the people in my life I'm closest to I met online in places very like this one. I've got a real life friend I met here a couple of years ago I can't imagine life without. I've withdrawn from becoming involved in online communities as it only ever leads to drama but individual connections are as legitimate as any other to me. " I can absolutely understand. Myself and B met via the forums. I hear ya about the drama too, but I'm not gonna be silenced in case it causes aggro. I believe in what I say and am confident enough in who I am to trust the people whose opinions matter to me know me well enough to call me out if I'm being a doofus. P | |||

"If you asked me 7 years ago whether I'd find friends and connections online I'd have laughed and said that was for weirdos with no life. Now however I happily eat my words. I first interacted with some of the most brilliant people in my life on this website. They sit nicely amongst existing friends and I wouldn't be without them. " This makes me

"I think just like "normal" friendships - some are fleeting, some last a while and fizzle out, some might be for a brief period while you're working together and then you lose touch and some you just *know* you will never let go of, even if y9u fall out of touch the person will still have a place in your heart - doesn't matter where you "met" them or how the friendship is conducted they're still friends in a very real sense regardless of whether on-line or off-line. There are people both here and through Facebook etc who I've never met, and may never meet, who I consider as close friends as people I was at school with and who in some instances know a damned sight more about me than those school friends. It's not weird, it's not odd, it's not even different (well apart from the knowing what they look like naked bit!!) - a friendship can't be defined by how you met, or whether you speak daily or annually, or how often you "meet" (whatever the form of that meeting might be) - it just is." It just is. I love that. I'm thinking I may need to get myself a Madness ticket for the next gig

P" I don't think that is a good comparison as they must have met to get married. What people seemed to be saying was that they don't think online friendships are the same as real life. I don't think anyone belittled anyone while saying that. For me, after using the net for way too long and seen so many " friendships" go pear shaped in a really public and bad way I never used the internet to find friends and if I did I would say unless I met them them for real I wouldn't count them as a friend as I really wouldn't know the person... they could be a Nigerien princess or princess for all I new....but I do get that not everyone is like me and do friendship a different way...no one way is a right way. | |||

P"Yeah. I’ve seen a few of these ridiculous “Is it really a relationship / can it last if you met on a swingers site ...” etc. No, of course it can’t - it’s a total sham. I mean, obviously your entire relationship is based is on sex and neither of you is capable of love or fidelity. | |||

Someone even started a rather nasty thread about it. Thankfully it removed very quickly. I don't give a shit though, we are about to celebrate our first anniversary and moving in together. | |||

"When I was 14 I joined a forum. I am now 26 and still speak to a few of the girls I met through the website. I think if them as amazing friends who I could trust with my life. I've spoke to them more than I have people I'd consider good friends in real life. I know they would do anything for me. I met my partner online too and we built up an amazing connection before we even met up. It's possible to have strong real friendships online and I think it's sad if people can't see that and don't deem the friendships as valid because it's on the internet.

"I don't make friends easily so it's very unlikely I'd make a friend via the net. I think everyone on both sides of this argument should accept that for some it's possible and for some it isn't. In fairness I don't think there's an "argument" more just a discussion around how for some of us it's entirely feasible to have friends on-line who are just as valid as those off-line - appreciate it may not be for everyone though But people seem to be getting excited if another says they don't think they can make real friends on the internet. I think the issue was belittling and discounting what people perceive as being genuine friendships. That is the equivalent to one of us saying to a couple that met here that their marriage is a sham and not a real one because they met online. P I don't think that is a good comparison as they must have met to get married. What people seemed to be saying was that they don't think online friendships are the same as real life. I don't think anyone belittled anyone while saying that. For me, after using the net for way too long and seen so many " friendships" go pear shaped in a really public and bad way I never used the internet to find friends and if I did I would say unless I met them them for real I wouldn't count them as a friend as I really wouldn't know the person... they could be a Nigerien princess or princess for all I new....but I do get that not everyone is like me and do friendship a different way...no one way is a right way." I'm a princess. I just never got given a tiara. I absolutely hear ya, and it's good to be guarded. One thing I wasn't expecting to find when joining here was mates. I've been lucky and made some truly wonderful friends, some I've met in the flesh some I haven't. I think technology has advanced so much now with video calls and all that shizzle that you can be with someone without being physically with them. So just because you've not met in the flesh doesn't mean you can't have a good bond and care for one another. I am quite guarded believe it or not, and I'm quick to shut shit down if someone/something doesn't "add up", as I've been burnt by people not being what they seem. P | |||

"I've watched too much Catfish... "Mine was nearly getting sucked in by a person who pretended he had cancer and had half a chatroom giving him as much attention as he craved...I did believe him at the beginning but my gut kicked in by something he said one day so I backed off....he was found out in the end. I never got ( nearly ) sucked in again thats for sure. So if someone wanted to tell me their lives outside of the net I didn't get involved The likes of these sites is a bit different anyway as it was a fantasy we were playing out so I didn't want to know the ins and outs of their lives anyway | |||
