CHEERS Pieter

And I'm very thankfull for that. He don't give flighty opinions, but real support. I hope this friendship last. He's a good mate with all the right intentions.

I understand and respect what your saying very much
I think an older person LPSG (MAle) has a far differnet outlook re such to the Women ..obviously

Like I said you before, he is around the same age. So you can also get real and very good support from people who are younger. He is just an awesome guy who was already there for me in difficult times and he knows that I'll be there for him in difficult times. So people, real friendship is possible. I know him for almost 5 months now, but it feels like I know him for years. We have become best buddies. Okey I know it is internet, but we have solve that, hope we will meet each other soon in real life, and believe me, it will happen :smile:.

^^^^ TROLL ALERT ^^^^

This person has signed on this morning and the majority of her posts have been negative and aimed at NJQT466. More than one post has been directly racist in nature. I have reported these posts to the moderating team. I have also responded to a few - I am going to stop responding now as I'm certain it will be counterproductive. I urge others to do the same. I apologise for troll feeding. Ignore it and let its bilious drivel fall on deaf ears.

On reflection .. as per the actual Topic Heading

Do you have any "real" friends from lpsg?

I really feel it does take an amount of time to cultivate these friendships on sites like these and depending on what level? you place these friendships.
Often quite a rewarding outcome tho

I often think of our Parents taking time to write a letter and then post it
(Almost like a Laborious job/but must have been so rewarding for them)
We have it so easy these days what with us sitting at a Comp...couple of mouse cliks reply/type/ send'
NO excuse for not receiving a Courtesy email..but i geuss we are in such a hurry to move onto another thread

A little Sad...makes you wonder how the next few Generations will treat mediums such as this or indeed the Technological age Phenomenon
Well just reflecting..ha'

THANKS fr the Heads Up on that Poster MB

Most sociologists agree that men do not form very strong bonds with either men or women, that only women offer those strong feelings and support that adds up to a very sincere friend in times of great need. So men have rather superficial friendships with other men usually based upon shared experiences of drinking, sports or sex. But with lpsg we do not have the opportunity to share experiences directly so the very casual friendship, the most abundant in men-men relationships do not readily exist. So have any of you formed a really meaningful bond with another lpsg buddy. I have I think with several with one very particular one that I communicate on several levels with, and this for more than three years. I think this a strong recommendation for lpsg, a chance to have a different kind of friendship with other guys, not based upon fishing or fucking sessions we have shared.

In my view, if two people only know each other through the internet then they cannot be called "friends" except in a loose sense of the term. They may imagine that they have a close bond, but if that bond has not been tested by live contact and by knowing each other's identity, then they don't even really know each other; still less can they be said without qualification to be friends.

I have not seen the sociological work that your first claim is based on, and I find the claim very dubious. I have close male friends, and my relations with them are certainly not based on watching or playing sports or getting drunk together (though with some of them I have drunk a fair amount). In any case, my ties to them are certainly deeper, closer, and more secure than any so-called friendship that I am likely to form with someone whom I know only as the source of some words or images on a computer screen.

and on topic - Yes I have several friends from here. I have met some of them and there'll be a few I shall cherish and keep in touch with long after I've stopped coming here.

Hmmmm...... I disagree completely. I've quite a few friends I've known online for quite some time (12+ years) and they are most definitely as much my friends as anyone. I've now met all of them except one and we just fall right in and do whatever, talking about what we usually do. As they all live some distance, my visits are necessarily brief, but none of them are any different than I imagined them to be. There's nothing awkward about it.

I've encountered that with LPSG too. Hosting the NYC get togethers has put me in contact with people from LPSG who I see outside of LPSG and others who I just meet with no introduction. Everybody is pretty much who they seem to be, just much richer. It's a great pleasure. Some of my friends from LPSG I've yet to meet. Maybe my experience will be different, maybe it won't. For whatever reason, I seem to be an accurate judge of character when it comes to whom I befriend in this madhouse.

THAt .. i believe and AGREE with you Jason
I do think we can find persons whom we will eventually connect with.. and with wonderful and astute cultivating from both parties that Friendship will blossom and develop
Despite each others differing views or opinions
Similarly we tend to Naturally be Wary of persons whom we 'sort of know' we are unlikely to be compatible with..and so it works in reverse.
My Thoughts..as Friendship is so dear to me.

2 friends that I met from another website joined LPSG at my suggestion, but they are not very active on this site. They're visiting next weekend for 4 days. Should be fun!
