How do online friends compare with real friends for you? Do you take "net friends" seriously?
I take "net friends" seriously, but I mean there isn't a very high chance of ever meeting any of them, so... I'd have to say it's nice to have someone to talk to via the net, but nothing beats my friends that I can count on when I need them to be there.
I definitely take "net friends" seriously.
Honestly, I have two best friends...but I rarely see them. The friends you've seen me in pictures are not my best friends, and I don't have deep bonds with them. It's more...superficial. My best friends...one has a 3 year old daughter, and the other is equally inaccessible because she's away at school.
I feel closer with "net friends" than a lot...most of my other friends. I have more in common with them and am therefore more open.
I have stronger connections with them. I trust them more. If I tell one of my shopping buddies something deep, they can go text it to 7 other girls that I'll see at a club the next weekend and have to see them whispering about me. If I tell it to a net friend...it's kind of safe with them. I've met some great people online, and I do hope to meet them.

I hadn't taken net friends seriously until recently. I'm on the internet (specifically this forum) more now, and so I've met more people. Some of the people I've met are the first people I've met on the internet who I actually consider friends. It's great! I take them a lot more seriously now.
Still, the whole strictly non-physical thing is a bit of a pain. D:

Of the 3 best friends I mentioned earlier, one is about 300 miles from me in northern CA, one is my gf who is now 250 miles from me in SD and I am unfortunately in Bako, anyways the third is "Studying Abroad" in Prauge at the moment, I rarely get to talk to her, but distance is not an issue.

HI DAVE.
Yeah, I prefer people online to real life because the people I actually see in a day are just there to make my life comfortable, I have more trust with people on the internet. Maybe it's because rejection is much easier to take, but yeah, I like seeking people out with my personality.
It's better than going out drinking, blachk.

On the net. Blueovalboy said they have to "be there for you." I guess it just so happens all my friends on the internet are such losers that they're there whenever I need them? Obviously the no physicality thing gets to a person, but when it comes to "friends" I don't see how that has THAT big of an important difference.
