Are friends from the internet less valuable than those in a real life?
as for my opinion i dont think there's anything to compare. The location, time or place you meet a person shouldn't matter in a friendship, or in any other relationship.
what do you feel....

I think the online firends can not match the real life friends . This dores not mean that they are any worse people then the real life friends in physical proximity .
It is just that the medium of converstaion with them , the internet , lacks in the quality of communication that can be had with them . You can not share emotions , you can not share those magical moments that can be shared in real
company , you can not take a lok at your friends face to see what kind of mood he is in(webcams are a far cry from the real look ) , you can not wipe out his tears with your hands , you can not hug him , you can not touch him , you can rest on his shoulders .
And ever y feeling can not be expressd in words beacuse
words cannot most of te timer match the intensity of the feeling .
So its really not the people , but the medium which lacks which makes the real friends dearer than e friends .

If the internet friends are close friends ,then I value my friends ,both online or offline,the physical presence hardly matters to me when it comes to friendship.What matters to me is *knowing* them.That would include knowing whether we share similar wavelength and whether they consider me as close friends as I consider them.Once that truth is established ,I share equal proximity with friends on internet and real life.It's not the presence as much as the connect and the human aspect that governs my friendship.

Well,anyone has his or her standard to choose a friend.In my opinion,I prefer friends in real life,cause I know them very well.It's maybe dangours to get to know someone as a friend from net.We could see that many crimes happens between net friends just because being credulous.hehe

Friends from internet and from what you say real life both are valuable. Friendship is a sacred relationship. It is very hard to seek a good friend bot in internet and real life. Internet has very wide range. we become golbal villager on net.Internet has its own culture. we enjoy surfing here and get some one matching online. This is something very intresting than that of real life. In many cases we witnessed that friendship turned in marriage and it become life partnership among two persons living across the water. Is this not wonderful.
