Do you prefer real friends or virtual friends?

I like @MichaelEspinoza and @Red-Blaze

’s answers.

I think I VALUE great, loyal friends. I just haven’t found that to my specification or needs, when I was growing up in high school, and such.

I’m not promoting anything else as alternative, to great, ‘live’ friendships in person.

I am saying: I value solitude, cultivating a life for myself, without people judging my looks.

I personally benefit from online friends in this one aspect. I met one from another country who is rare, and I wouldn’t have been able to have met him when I was only 17. It’s a once in a lifetime thing, I think.

I have good friends on here, and no matter the place, always people I appreciate, like to learn from, and laugh at lol.

Online is helpful because whenever I need to take “me-time,” or just people to engage with on a cognitive level and update basis, I have online friends who will not always be so needy as “in-real” friends, who mostly have no cap for seeing each other daily, and not thinking about the bigger things in life.

I don’t think I had an exceptional friend..

that solo person, whom I was their favorite person and they were mine.

I’ve always wanted THAT, but I let that go. Friendships are somewhat overrated. I enjoy the whole world as my family. 🤲

I rival sometimes, I tease, I question, I challenge, I console, I joke… I do all of that with the biggest family I will ever know. Humanity.

I think it’s just easier to let people be who they wish, and go where they please. I hold no one to anything, and I wouldn’t wish to be held to anything myself.

Thats just me, though. Not sure how this appears, but that’s my way on it.

[MichaelEspinoza]

Thank you for your comment , I whole heartdley mean that

By the way , just curious but if you don't mind - are you Mexican or Hispanic or Italian. I mean just wondering cause I don't know just want to know you know

[Rosexøxø]

@MichaelEspinoza oh no prob 😲 I’m part Puerto Rican and part Russian 😁

[MichaelEspinoza]

Hey Rosexøxø , just wondering but would you watch a TV series about a blonde Viking woman going on a quest & fighting villains. Well Scarlett Johansson would be the Viking

[Rosexøxø]

@MichaelEspinoza I may depending on how good the preview is and timing ofc! 👀 what’s it called?

[MichaelEspinoza]

Well , I don't think it's a TV series - Yet but if Scarlett Johansson has a New TV series out - it should be called Viking girl. A beautiful blonde Viking girl ( see save Virgil for reference ) goes on adventures & fights villains.

[Rosexøxø]

@MichaelEspinoza I’d love it 😍💪 every female heroine and lassie should have her action at the edge of life and death and glory!

Scarlett is just a loved gem of mine as well 💎🥰

[MichaelEspinoza]

Well okay , I mean a cartoon version of it & a live action series of it.

[Rosexøxø]

@MichaelEspinoza I think it could do very well yes 🤔👀 I’d watch it if I had the time, and if it needed support for start up, I’d vouch for it/ recommend; watch it, and etc.

I think it deserves a shot!

[MichaelEspinoza]

Okay then , well if you get the time you should watch save Virgil ( adult cartoon movie ) but anyway he goes home turns on the TV & a Viking lady appears walking - that would be what Scarlett Johansson character would look like.

Overall I prefer genuine friends.

I have both some virtual friends, and real life friends.

I do prefer to be able to be physically present with my friends, and spend time together, we can help each other and maybe go out for a drink together.
But it's just not always possible

[MichaelEspinoza]

Well here's my opinion on this , I would much rather have real Friends than virtual friends. I mean really for a good time & wanting goof around - I'd say virtual friends but if you are going through something tragic in your life or something tragic just happen I would prefer real friends cause then you would have people to talk to , to give you a hug in case you need one. You can't hug a virtual stranger on the other side of the screen so you should have real friends to hug you so you can feel the warmth of real human hug.

Typically I tend to prefer virtual friends, as they come with a lot more diversity than the town I’m from. It allows me to interact with more diverse opinions, ethnicities, ideologies, and other such from various people, and seeing what we may have in common and what differs. I’ve actually met a lot more cooler friends online than in person, personally. They also tend to come from websites or games I frequent, which also helps with finding something in common.

[Red-Blaze]

Whats the diffrence?
I got both, some I meet live, some I meet online
Both are real, both I will help, and both come to help me
Friends are friends regardless of the platform you meet them
Or if they ever seen your meat around your brain :)
I prefer "real" friends for pysical activity, but at the start of things virtual is nice, becouse you can know they are there for your messed up personallity more then for the face/body you where born with

[CoolCatMar1]

Me too

[Labokachulaa]

I prefer real friends when I need a face to face interaction, but when it's things that I want to share that are private, I prefer virtual friends. I've had much better experiences like that. Usually my virtual friends have been more loyal and there's almost never any drama.

[NathanDavis]

I have them both, and I value both very much... and they are both very much real, lol

and some of the friends I know in person nowadays are more like virtual friends since we keep in touch online, they have move too far away so we get do get less chances to actually meet in person and, due to this situation... I would never feel like they're in any way less real friends than they are to me when in person

[Sour-rose]

Both but virtual is very nice. As all my old... real friends are all living their lives and I've cut ties with them. The only way I knew about them was facebook, otherwise, they're all dead by now

[Account]

I have both and I appreciate both on the same level. The fact that they are located in different places and I don't meet up with them, doesn't make the friendship less genuine, some of them have always been there for me.

[Avcfhcic]

Always will be real friends, you can have better conversations with them and actually share emotion. You are speaking to an actual person rather than a screen name

[Guy13]

Real friends and Dates. try www.meetup.com for real people in your chosen Interest...

[jennifer_bloom]

The only benefit most of my friends give me is emotional support and I prefer dialogue to collective action

[scooogy]

For weird reasons virtual ones. While you have nothing to say, each can do their stuff. In case of a real friend of mine it's rather sitting on his bed and waiting for him to finish a call or something.

[BlueScorpio]

Real friends, social media friends are never that deep and still strangers.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Real friends! That you can actually get together with in person.

[Luopio27]

Nothing beats the real thing.
Same goes with sex, digital copies of others will never replace the need and want the experiance of the real thing.

[exitseven]

Real friends. I think that they could be virtual at the same trime.

[DancingQueen16]

I have both real-life friends and online friends and I like them all the same amount

[DrBanana]

Real friends are better but it’s ok to have a few virtual friendships for video games and stuff like that.

[Wicked_Witch]

I appreciate them both. They both offer things I value a lot.

[ZenJen444]

Virtual friends can't help you when you're in the hospital 🤣 and you don't know who is really behind the screen. I prefer real friends

[Wise4myage]

I prefer real friends, who I can talk to and see them face to face.

[Alex8736]

real. I'd make a very shitty virtual friend with my schedule

[HugeDikEng]

Real friends, you can't sleep with virtual friends.
