If you think these internet acquaintances are friends you need to get out more. They ain't friends pfffft.
Or are they?
These are people we tell our deepest darkest secrets to. These are people we confide in, turn to, trust in many cases.
These are people who notice we aren't ourselves and like magic, pop up just when you need them, they know you, they read you, they care for you.
You ask for discretion because you don't want your "friends" knowing your private business (why, in case they don't agree or disown you, in case they look at you differently and no longer want to be your "friend"?)
Friendship is being there for one another, challenging each other, wanting the best for each other. Friendship is telling someone they're being a dick when they're being a dick and cheering them on when they're trying their best.
Friendship comes in many forms, pen pals, online, in person, through work, through school, through hobbies, through being preggers the same time... the list is endless
None of them are wrong, just formed differently. Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet.
Dear friends.... thank you for being you.
Dear strangers....have a blinding xmas
The rest of ya can lick my rusty sheriffs badge

It might sound a bit sad or stupid but fab people have helped me through a really dark time and given me a really boost. A lot of times it helped that they didn't know me that well or lived close and I could open up more.
I now have friends I talk to everyday from here and its amazing...now I just need to find the perfect penis and I'm all set |

"I’d like to say yes. But then I’d like to say no.
Hard call"
There are definitely some who play the friend well, and then stab you in the back the moment you aren't looking, but on the whole I've people I've met via fab who are closer than my "outside" friends.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
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.

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. |

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.

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! |

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. |

Of course it does, most of the things that happen on here happen in the physical realm too. That's why I can't understand why others don't think it's possible for "real" stuff happen via fab.

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.

I have a friend I met through fab, chatting then seeing in a club... no naked play involved. I couldn't see myself without her and we are closer than family now. We speak daily, sometimes more than once and my daughter babysits her children. This is a real friendship that started online. Even if we hadn't met IRL I think we would still have stayed close friends x |

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.

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. |

She calls me auntie, fucker.. shes only 10 years younger than me. Me and my daughter are staying with her for a few days over Christmas. Only known her since the summer but she knows me better than I know myself sometimes, and me with her.

I'm blessed, my life is full of friends and communities. I didn't think I had room for more. Intimacy, friendship and community comes in many guises and often in connections we couldn't have guessed.

There and to the left a bit |
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. |

I've made a friend here a few months ago.
She text me about the pre social last August, we met at the function and we've chatted with each other quite often since then.
She listens to me b*tch and moan and I listen to her. She's a great lady and a true friend.

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 |

Of course, but like most things you need to be open to the idea I guess.
I'd like to think if you needed something you could ask me knowing I'd do my best to help. Whether you would or not is a totally different matter and friendships take on many guises.
Actually, I reckon you have a lovely home and cook scrummy food so I'll let you adopt me instead of becoming buddies

Yarp, for all anyone knows they could be not wanting to be mates with someone purely because the friendship is an online one, yet they're already mates on the "outside". How funny would that be

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.

Of course, but like most things you need to be open to the idea I guess.
I'd like to think if you needed something you could ask me knowing I'd do my best to help. Whether you would or not is a totally different matter and friendships take on many guises.
Actually, I reckon you have a lovely home and cook scrummy food so I'll let you adopt me instead of becoming buddies
P"
Yes, I agree that friendship takes on many guises but I've been kicking about the net for long enough to have witnessed many on line friendships cause a lot of heartache. Of course I've seen them go very well too but they're by far the minority.
I'll happily adopt you but he warned no adoption society would let me loose as an adopter . |

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. |

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. |

I have to say when me and Ash first got together on here I had 3 messages from regular forum users telling me it was a joke and would never work. 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 made a friend in the days before internet on a mobile phone text chat room, that was about 20 years ago now, I met him once many years ago, we are still in touch, we are friends.
Not everyone online is a real friend but there are one or two diamonds. |

I think there is certainly a tendency for some older people to be more cynical about on line interaction. I'm aware that I'm one of them |

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.

You may think you are more 'pure' because you met someone face to face but to me that's just denying technological advance.
What is a friend anyway ? Someone you club with ? Someone who buys you gifts ? Someone who flatters you ?
Look..... everyone has their own definition of what makes a good friend. So ..... fuck everyone else. If you consider someone a friend to you it really doesn't matter where you met them.

"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 |

I dunno there really are a large amount of people the opposite to what they say they are. No harm in being aware of it but I wouldn't expect it to happen every time. I watch shit loads of real crime and murder stuff but I still sleep with my windows open at night in the summer. Just the top ones mind, they'll need a ladder to get up and I'm a light sleeper. I do what I can to protect myself where necessary but don't think for one moment everyone is a fraud or a murderer.

Thanks to the instant messaging system on AOL I'm the mother of a son who's about to turn 18 next year.
You got pregnant by PM? Blimey
AOL was very effective "
Didn't AOL email stop you sending messages to @virgin or names like Scunthorpe? |

"I've watched too much Catfish...
I dunno there really are a large amount of people the opposite to what they say they are. No harm in being aware of it but I wouldn't expect it to happen every time. I watch shit loads of real crime and murder stuff but I still sleep with my windows open at night in the summer. Just the top ones mind, they'll need a ladder to get up and I'm a light sleeper. I do what I can to protect myself where necessary but don't think for one moment everyone is a fraud or a murderer.

I sleep with my doors unlocked......but then I live in Cornwall and anyone that has found this house deserve their swag |

"With my serious face on ........
This IS real life. Time to stop being deluded.
You may think you are more 'pure' because you met someone face to face but to me that's just denying technological advance.
What is a friend anyway ? Someone you club with ? Someone who buys you gifts ? Someone who flatters you ?
Look..... everyone has their own definition of what makes a good friend. So ..... fuck everyone else. If you consider someone a friend to you it really doesn't matter where you met them.
Pen friends have become keyboard friends. That's all. Fuck all you eejuts who think this is a new phenomena ..... arrogant youth .. distant friends have been 'connected' in many ways for decades.....
Ink has been swapped for electricity

That's YOU and LIB .. off my Xmas card list. I've got no more slates and no more chisels... "
You're getting yours by carrier pigeon, I can't promise it'll deliver a card but it will probably poop

Some of them are truly harrowing. I don't know how they think of the stuff ya know? I've made comments before when it's been heated and I've said "I'll fucking kill ya" but then if it came to it, ermmmmm lucky punch maybe? I don't know how their minds come up with the "how" *shudder*

Indeed we are. That's probably why I'm wary of single women on here
