Making REAL friends on here?

[JaneFryer_1998]

Has anyone made an actual real friends on here? Majority of people dm me about sex or sexting stuff, it would be nice if I got to actually know the guy and stuff before all that.

the site does offer us options to communicate with each other's through dm. So there is a way to make online friends however the chances of us meeting each other's is quite Slim being that we're all over the place globally.
It really depends on what is your definition of real friends.
If real friends you mean as in pen pals who know each other's daily struggles and what's going on in each other's lives then I think that would be possible so long as you accept the fact that you're most likely not going to meet up with this person.
If you mean meeting up with a person well I suppose if you're in the same location. I'm not sure how I feel about meeting people from the internet world I tried it once when I was young and it was a major fail.
The person ended up being rather abusive.
But I do have very few people I chat with daily two or three people who I know more or less what's going on in their daily life based on what they are willing to share with me.

Now if you're at your question is about being dmed and how do you handle individuals who only want to sext this is an entirely different subject.

I suggest you make DM limited to only your followers and inform the individual you're speaking with that you're not interested in discussing sexual matters with strangers.

Now I too get DMed often for sexual discussions but I informed them that is not what my DM box is for.

In fact I make this very clear in my profile

Just stand your grounds no means no and anyone who's worth getting to know will first of all not the DM you for those purposes and second if for some reason they did they will respect your wishes and proceed to get to know you for you and not sexual gratification.

Thought I had but they proved me right and edit themselves out of my life, quite liberating to be honest! What do you expect from the internet.

However, made some nice acquaintances though

I actually became involved with someone from here. The only one I have actually met. We were pretty much instant friends that were instant boyfriend/girlfriend. I imagine strictly platonic could also occur. I mean, neither myself or my ex set out to make friends in using this app let along get immersed in a relationship. It just happened. So, why not? Still, it does not escape me that this is the net and many online more often than not lead a entirely different persona between online and online. At least that has been what I have discovered... a general lack of consistency.


Anyway, I am certain it is possible. I should note I am speaking about an actual friend you would make and Spend actual time together in one another’s actual presence and not just text pals kind of thing.

[MannMitAntworten]

Between online and offline* that should have read...

[MannMitAntworten]

I forgot to mention with regard to your sexting phenomenon... with regard to my ex, we never became involved because of sexting like it seems many do. In fact, we never sext even when we began actually sleeping together. Personally I am not into sexting nor phone sex. It just seems to take away from the actual act. Flirting/suggestive flirting on the other hand can be fun, but still, even that was mostly done while actually in one another’s physical presence. If you and ‘he’ can avoid sexting and pornography I bet both your sex life will improve. Somehow omitting those things adds intensity to the actual act while engaging in them seems to remove intensity. Serious, try without the sexting and porn. It may surprise you.

I've made a few friends, but it's not really easy to make "real" friends when this is a global site and the chance of meeting anyone in person is tiny. For example, I'm in California, and you're in Oz, so I'd be looking at 13-16 hours of flight time just to share a meal with you in person. LOL. Not likely to happen.

I think many of us are "online friends" with certain other members here, but that's likely as much as you can really ask of this place. It isn't a dating site after all, and you should ALWAYS date LOCALLY anyway.

This is really a sight for crowd-sourcing information and opinions, and it does that pretty well, but you need to be able to accept its limitations.

Oh yes, I met him about 2 years ago when he asked about sex issue after marriage (his wife's a virgin; he's with only one girl and inexperienced).

I told him go DM me to go into details.

Then we talked business after I know he's a sofrware developer.

Today, he's my business partner. (He then stop coming to this site.)

[Breanna_nonbinary]

Well that’s understandable, you’re gorgeous. But actually I would love to make friends on here irl. I have only spoken to one person on here that was close to where I live. Everyone else seems to be very far away.

[RemoErdosain]

Yes, I have made one real friend on this site, and have talked about non-sexual stuff with others and had good conversations with them

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, I have made real friends on this site.

[MrHopper]

Yeah i been here 2 years and say i have 2 people i talk to outside of here and hoping to meet up with when we can (one lives in US and other is a few hours drive away). It took time and lots of chatting mind, was not like "hey want to be my friend?"

[Red_Arrow]

Yes. I have formed some friendships on here. One I have had for many years. It actually began with nude photos, but evolved into something better. She is no longer on here and does not share sexual photos, but is a great person and a great friend. You can have friendships evolve from sexual interest relationships. Keep an open mind about the person.

[MysteriousDarkness]

@Red_Arrow Have you ever met any of them offline?

[Red_Arrow]

No. Too far away.

[1stranger]

I think so!.. I'm here and waiting!

[nonratracereality]

Being on a social media platform by asking real questions getting into a deep discussion on whatever floats your boat will determine through your efforts to meet real people. I am one and in order to basically find out how people are is through question and answer. I am real!! Try me.

[NyceGuyFinishingLast]

No real friends. I am sure your DM would be blowing up even more if it wasn't for this point system in place.

Most people are looking to have a voice. They want to be heard and to gather the opinions of others.

[theharshtruth]

i mostly do sexting but i have made friends from it also, sometimes we'll sext sometimes we'll talk about sports or cooking or whatever, just depends on the person

[cajun40]

I've no expectations here to meet but to send kind words brighten someone's

[Berethor]

One maybe? most people here are from the united states, so you are not likely to meet them.

[FictionalCharacter]

Nope. Haven’t made any friends on here.

[4eyes2mouths]

I rarely meet actually friends online but I do get into discussions with people from time to time. You're welcome to message me.

[Jjpayne]

I think I've got a number of friends on here but none in real life yet...

[Sevenpointfive]

i'd like to get to know some people. i've chatted and feel comfortable talking to a few. i don't know if that's mutual. it's hard to tell who's real on here

[Miristheiss]

Good point.
I have noticed that practically all of your posts are about sex so that explains getting sexually themed DMs.

[Finchie40]

I consider you a friend 😋

[Samoht_Sirrom1]

I have talked to a few people I don't know if they consider me France but I'm not trying to sexting any of them...

[Samoht_Sirrom1]

Friends not France... lol

[Tobi_Lerone]

No real friends up to now. But had some nice chats with some people and hope there wil be more chatting. It's always nice to see how others think and so on. Didn't any sexual thing here during chatting^^
