I wonder what you guys think about when you visit someones profile, and they have loads and loads of friends.

Its just that when i go through my process (lol) of if this person could be the one, sometimes their profile seems great. same things in common and looking for the same things, ect. and then i see they've allready got tons of friends on here. .. i guess i shouldnt get hung up about it. but i kinda think, its a bit weird lol.. social networking i get on facebook but i'm on here to look for love and i can only get to know one or two people at a time. otherwise i wouldnt really be getting to know anyone well enough to go further.

for eg. looking for a serious relationship but has 50 friends on here all stunning guys i cant compete with..lol

should i still try with these others? or am i waisting my time? anyone else have the same hang up? or do i have mental issues that need addressing :-P lol.

anyways just a random thought i thought you'd all be able to help with

Perhaps the number of your friends depends upon how you define the concept, what meaning you put in this word.

There’s a button here: “Friends request” and it happens that someone expresses their wish to be my friend in that way. I asked a few times what the person meant with it, but never got any satisfying answer. I don’t believe that you can be friends just by clicking on a button, hence, I have no friends. Well… no button-friends.

It’s not about wanting or not wanting. Friendship, like love, either happens or not.

Does that mean no?

I have a few "button-friends" and others from here that I correspond with on private e mails but after getting requests from people in countries that I will never visit and from too young people like my children's age, I decided to turn it off as well as the “fans” feature.

Why do I need fans for? I mean I am not a singer or an artist.

dunno

It doesn’t mean “No” per se, but it means that the drift (or desire) has to be mutual and voluntary. Even if I want to be someone’s friend, perhaps they don’t.

When I was young, I had rather a rich social life, so many friends (I thought). “Evolution” showed that we were just acquaintances. They were nice people and all that, but I learned that I couldn’t ask them for help when I needed it.

I don’t want to go through difficult times just to check whether I’m friend with someone. But until you’ve got through some kind of hardship together and managed to maintain your relationship… until that you can’t actually claim that you are friends with someone. (It’s my frigid and stubborn position on the matter.)

PS You don’t have to be singer or artist to get fans – fame takes different forms.grin

Sure it does grin

Regarding to friends I just hope to meet some of the few that I correspond with in the short future.

hug

Great time to all!

i have made friends with a couple folks on here who are very popular, and they have tons of friends. i look at it like they are popular because they are so nice, but they are also discerning in their search for a partner. because they are so nice, they end up with lots of friends, but they are often still looking for someone special as they haven't met 'the one' yet that they hope to find...(grin)
and i have also met folks that i only correspond with privately. i've been on here a while, dated some, made friends, but still looking for that match coz i too, am discerning....
well...that's my story and i'm sticking to it....lol.
(who needs the therapy now....lol)

i don't think you're wasting your time.

My Definition of Friends is those who Communicate on an Regular Basis, and go to each others house on a Regular Basis, who do thing togather and dont Cheat each other, Rip each other off, and talk on Private Matters , a Friend is and should be as close as Family or they are Not Friends...

To me Most are Aquaintance's....

You should be able to count a Lifetime of Friends on both hands...

If I Look at a Womans Profile and she has Several guys shown as friends, I doubt I would even take the time to write to her...

Many People want to post these as Friends, are saying Look at Me, to me it is a turn off.... and if she has abundant Guy Friends Posted on Her Profile, It tells me I dont need Involved with them.

In Retrospect, If A Woman looks at My Profile and I have 10 Womens Pics, on a Friends list, I dont think that would Interest a Woman Looking for true Love. Chance are it would send her running too...

I think she would run for the next County, Or be Concerned from that day foreward....

So due to this matter I dont keep a Friends list...

Only My Opinion! Hope this helps...help laugh

I believe a person truly can make friends online. I have an online friend that I've known for about 4 years now, and we will always be just friends. We both know a great deal about each other, and we still like each other, which is the definition of a friend. We correspond anywhere from 0-9 times a day, depending on how much we have to say. She is truly a friend, just as much as if we could see each other in person (we've never met in person), and if we ever did meet we would be the same with each other as we are now online.

As for the issue of having lots of online friends, for me it's really not an issue. I had over 80 women friends on another site, but they were women who wrote ME first.

I have a few people on my list that I never had a conversation with LOL. Sometimes, depending on my mood, I just approve the request. I imagine they don't really care to be friends either (as in exchange mail on a friendly basis only). Your post reminded me to clean up my list though.

I have seen a few profiles by women who have so many friends on their list that I imagine it is practically impossible for too many of them to be real friends. It's a bit like collecting friends on facebook, you know.

I suppose you can interpret it as a way of saying 'look at me, see how many guys are interested in me', but it can also mean absolutely nothing. Only way to find out is to write and see what happens.
