Ok… my opinion for what its worth…
I can honestly say I have you all weighed up. I know who are the genuine ones, I can tell who is a prize prat and I can spot a needy female a mile off and a player (male or female).
Am not about to indulge you with that side of my opinion though.
When it comes to making friends though, I like to think I have made some friends on here – some people who I have trusted with personal info, some people who I could talk to and got me through when I was at an all time low when my dad died, and funnily enough these people are the ones who come here with no agenda, they are here just to fill time or have a laugh, they are not seeking a relationship, they are not here to disrupt they are just regular people. I wear my heart on my sleeve as some of you might know. I say it like it is too often, but at least I am sure you all know where you stand with me.
So yes I think you can make friends on here – you just have to be a good judge of character.

Well sais Miss Geordie……..Im very good at working ppl out, and I also av ppl weighed up I read between the lines and my intuition in chat has never let me done yet although a couple of times iv chose 2 ignore it (more fool me)
Do you mean to tell me there are still gullible people out there? :shock:

Well you are a prime example Gaz with all the conspiracy theories you research and believe in….. :)

Count if you will how many one time theories have been proven as factual over the years, this will show the depth of your response above.

If you back every theory Gaz then once or twice you might hit lucky. You certainly hedge your bets. :wink:
Now I believe this thread was about friendship…..

Then why did you digress?For your convenience
:)like in real life you cant like or be liked by everyone you meet in a chat room, most people i meet and know in real life i class as aquaintances. i class all jc *friends* as aquaitances too, you have to be very special for me to except you as a friend both on the internet and in real life. but it doesnt mean i dont care about you :)
I read this thread with interest and for those people who feel they have an inbuilt ability… I wish you luck with your analysis of people here …. I can tell you though through personal experience IT DOESN’T WORK, if you do not fit into the pigeon holes people create for you here you are labelled a fake.
I try to just accept people for what they are and not judge. I know people tell lies and fantasise here maybe for them thats part of the online experience, each to his own.
As far as having real online friends… sorry I dont think thats truly possible. Im sure you can chat to people and build a repartee but really no more than that. To truly know someone you have to meet them face to face… or maybe thats just me and why i dont build friendship’s here or maybe its a generational thing… who knows?
One thing is sure though, its not possible through the written word to analyse a persons honesty and integrity and to think you can is just plain dangerous.
I think it’s possible to have good online friends. You have to remember that even our “normal” friends don’t necessarily know everything about you. Only a best friend would…or a few extremely close friends. I think if you are a suspicious type and always think you don’t fully know that person is telling the truth then you will never make genuine online friends or indeed you yourself won’t be genuine. It all depends why and how things pan out. I’m sure when chatrooms and so forth started we didn’t all sit down …turn the pc on…and think “right who do I make friends with”…you either connect with someone or you don’t…there a fair few people I really really like in JC chat and have a laugh with them and I feel get on with them very well, but don’t actually consider them as friends, but people I see in the room. I don’t mean that to sound nasty or anything..just if phone numbers of M S N isn’t exchanged a friendship cannot develop maybe?
