The secret ingredient... perfect way to ask this question.

Knowing someone on a truly deep level, I think, requires more day to day interaction than we can get from just hanging out with someone a few hours here and there. But even if we're limited on how much time we spend with someone, we can still know some of the more important parts of someone.

Perhaps we only get into real trouble when we fill in the gaps w/ our own wants and expectations, building ppl up as something they're not - ?

Wow. I just got around to reading this comment now but you summed it up perfectly... and gave me just the amount of clarity I needed this last little while...

Thanks Curt.

In a way, they're less real. In another sense, they're more real. Internet relationships, for the most part, are based solely around conversations without physical interaction. If you think of it like that, a relationship could be stronger than one you have in real life. On the other hand, they're less real because it's so much easier to be false and fake on the internet than it is in real life. You could build a relationship up with someone only to find out that someone is not who you thought.

I think they are real. As real as the participants in the friendship want to make them. It's the hug and other physical contact that consecrates the relatiinship in a way. But all our relating whether irl or virtual is of the mind anyways. This is an older video, but I felt like commenting anyways. Must be interesting to still get replies years later to a thought you had one day. Constantly bringung you back to that thought...

Yes, all internet friendships work. I think it's silly that people think that they are in some way 'different' from relationships started in the outside world. They're not different, they're one and the same.

I've made relationships in both and they're totally equal in quality.

wings & open arms & i suppose money would play a factor for a relationship fostered online to manifest into its true potential. for now, i use ice cream to fill the hole.

see "the Laws of Loneliness" (makes for a rather fitting video response) for a more detailed explanation.

Both relationships are good but there both better than each other. The internet can not replace emotional relationships, cause when people are together their minds beam thoughts into each other making relationships seam more emotional. But on Internet its harder to do that so its more of exchanging knowledge relationship, kind of like reading or watching a video.

Younposed a very interesting question. I heard it working out. From internet relatioships to "flesh and bones" relationships.There are many people who hide their true naature behind an avatar. This is not possible in a "3d" relationship.To me, an internet relationshio seems more evanescent

I think they are slightly different for the fact i dont know if maybe just I have noticed this but people crave the fact of being able to see or touch what there getting close to Iguess having that privlage or ability could draw people closer yea you can make a really good friend or maybe even a decent relationship but nothing on the same personal level as if they were right beside you
