I have recently started making friends on the net through mylot and was wondering for those of you who have many net friends - do you spend more time with them or your real life friends who you can see actually and speak with?

of course my real friends. they've been witnesses of my life's ups and downs. they're just a call away and they'll be there for me when i needed them. unlike to net friends, if their online, thats the only time you can talk, compared to your real friends, you can kiss and hug them, you can laugh with them. i mean they're physically there.

I admire your frankness. I also feel that friends on the net will be good and honest friends.

I have internet friends and friends who I know and have met (though I have met a few internet friends too) I spend time with my friends from the old days- and many of them ar online too so I keep in contact regularly. Must say it's much easier and quicker to send off an email than to pick up the phone - though I do still phone :)

You can share some thoughts with your net friends that you might not discuss with your real friends also because you are anonymous - well to some extent at least.

It is good to be able to look into a persons eyes while speaking, you can see their emotions and therefore enjoy those conversations more than on the net.

I am spending the most of the time with my real friends, but on the internet.I am too far from them to meet them for coffee or somewhere else, just to go talk.But we are still in touch and taht is the most important for me.

To be honest i don't really have any proper "net friends", i have people whom i talk to online but for the most part they don't know much about me compared to my real life friends. I have quite a few close friends in real life who i know i can always turn to though lately i haven't had much spare time to spend with them. I spend most of my time with my boyfriend as i think my relationship with him needs most cultivation. Not that i ignore my friends, they work too so it makes it difficult to find the time. Especially when we all work at weekends and some of us work through the week too.

Yes if you built your relationship base on friendship.
