The on-line friendship thing is pretty cool in my book and it is quite the time saver.

For myself the chances that I would actually have time to spend an evening with someone without interruption is very slim, however on-line it feels like I'm hanging out with people and still doing the things that I need to get done that require "real time" to do. Another aspect for me is I'm not worried about what I say on here. Right this second I have 2 of my emails to associates being rewritten by people who work with me before they go out. On Mingle it's a joy to just be coo coo in front of others who have become friends without judgments or restrictions.

So for me I truly enjoy my friends here in maybe a different way than I do my friends in my business/personal world.

I went on a date from this site, and once fifteen years ago I held the arm of a woman between my jaws.

Other than that, not much contact around the place for me.

I am too much of an oddfellow to be met, for sure that is.



There are loads of “odd” people on the net so you’re not alone there. drinker


Maybe those other odd ones are still divisible by three or five or eleven or something.

I'm a prime, among all the other odds. I am the highest prime number that man can conceive of. Nothing can be devided into me, no number of the known world.

Ha.

MG, I want you to be worried what you say to me.

I want you to lie awake at night, tearing into your pillow with your teeth and howling at the top of your voice, in your worry about what you say to me.

I hope we understand each other now.

I have definitely made real friends that I've met online. Some I have met in person, some I've yet to meet.


I haven't made real integer friends here yet. I made a few imaginary friends, who are a sort of multiple of square root of minus one. And I made a few irrational friends, you know, Pi, but they left me, pi-pi. I made a fraction of a rational friend, and some people who have sums of negative powers of two of gods in their blood lineage.

I also met the devil of a wowan, ooo, she was good, not tall dark and handsome, but blonde, well-built and wholesome.

While in another thread I started to wonder, how many of you out there have made "real" friends from chatting online?, people you may or maynot have met, yet there is a real bond.





Ive 'met' alot of interesting people. Noone yet I would call 'friend'(someone I could depend upon if chips were down), but many good people none the less.


I have actually married someone after chatting online for years, that didnt work out so well in real time though,,lol

While I do like getting to know people here, if I had my way, I'd spend time in person with the people I enjoy chatting with here. I prefer spending time with people in real life, and do so quite often, rather than always chatting online. But, what works for some doesn't work for others. So this is definitely a good way to meet new people.

A picture says a thousand words..



Mingle time has lead me to the best time of my life.

I have met LOTS of cool people here. I ain't speaking metaphorically...I have physically met and hung out with tons of cool people from this site.

The ones without the guts to hoist thier junk up into thier skivvies and step away from the safety of thier computer are the ones who really need to decide what they actually want.

They are the ones who gripe the loudest and do the least to earn a good love.

yes
and sometimes I think that some of my online friends know me better than my in person friends....as we can only talk - no other life distractions in the way... some of them I have shared more of who I really am with than IRL family or friends

including many of the folks on here who I've known since 2008/09flowerforyou

Yes, I have made REAL friends online...some I have met in person..some I haven't met face to face yet, but plans are in the works for that.
There is definitively a bond there between us. You'll notice us in the Over 50 threads...Yep the friendship is there and it's real.

Not for me... online is one world, face-to-face is something wholly different.
(just as an aside... this says more about me, than it does them)

I have actually met several from this site and hung out with them on a one on one basis.....

We talk online on the phone and ever so often we all met up in person to hang out.

I have closer friends on here then i do in real life, not that this is not real.

It's just that on here I can be me and say what i think, i can talk to my friends and tell them what I really think and feel..


My friends on here keep me sane

I have met(in person)different people from different sites and i know i have a friend for life in them. both male and female. i also have my physical friends that i grew up with. But i tend to meet more new friends online than off lately.

There are also friends I have met online that I know it would never be more than an online friendship, if you know what i mean.
