back in my day, friends were real, as in, kick em in the teeth real. Now you wanna make your internet friends mad, you just type in huge red letters.

No. I am very close to some of the friends I met online. I've been friends with some for over 4years.

If they let these internet friends interfere with their real life, than yeah thats a little strange. Just casual friending online and talking to people is totally normal though

Nah, there's nothing wrong with it. It's only weord if you prioritize your e-friends over you real life friends.

No otherwise i wouldn't have any, also there are no expectations like in real life where they will just let you down anyway.

No, not anymore. When you hardly go outside so you can hang out with your "internet friends" all the time though, then it gets a little weird.

I have many internet friends and it doesn't mean I would give up going somewhere with my real friends for being online.

I do, they never last because you never see them. It could be some cross dresser talking to me fondling themselves. I just don't know who they are, and that creeps me out.

If you enjoy talking to the person, I don't see why that should matter.

I'd take "real" friends over online friends any day (like in the situation you said) but I don't see the problem, there's a load of us on another forum I go on that speak to each other on Facebook loads and all sort of know each other fairly well. It's not 1990 anymore, people can't really hide on the internet when they have Facebook and all their information readily available for you to check they're not a 40 year old bum rapist.

You dont know them. Kid yourself all you want though. (: There are people on-line whom I like and whoms opinions I respect and admire, but do I actually know them? No, ofcourse not, atleast not in any degree that comes even remotely close to real-life interaction.

This is just talking text though. If you're skyping 24/7 over cam, then obviously that's a different story. Then you got the body language, looks and vocals to add to the story. So, you see, it depends: Text-only internet friends? Yeah, I think it's weird, but not as weird as it is just plain sad.

No it's not weird. I like having people online to talk to that I never see in person. I've had a couple of good friends here and on other forums, over MSN and otherwise. I've met some pretty cool people.

Yes

Internet friends are not real friends. You definitely need to work on your social skills if you can only manage to make internet friends and not actual ones. No offense to the people that only have internet friends but it's pretty sad if you've convinced yourself that you have real friends because of a few usernames you've never actually met.
