A friend, a friend, my kingdom for a real friend.

So, me and my gf have gotten into discussions about "what is a friend".

Are we at this forum friends, even though we've not formaly met in real life (some have though), not seen eachother faces (except those on ********) or are friends just those whom you hang out with in real life?

The people that i spend time with in the Apricity i consider as friends, means i would quite happily drink beer with, and let my guard down to, also they as friends could take my dogs out for walks, this i would not even let my sons do.

My best (male) friend puts it this way; an acquaintence might help you plan a murder, but a real friend helps you hide the body! :cool:

My friends act sort of Jewish when it comes to money which is kind of annoying but they help me out and are generally good to be around.
I don't have a massive circle of friends, just a few I'm close to and a few "associates" who I talk to, I suppose I'm quite private.

Facebook always pissed me off, loads of people I barely new or barely spoke to adding me all the time, plus it was basically an invitation to ID theft, hence I deleted it.

I see a lot of people here as true friends.
