The [b][u]term[/u][/b] "Friends"...
In this modern society, the term "friends" is overly and loosely used.
The definition should be changed too "Person I don't dislike".
Thanks to the Internet anybody can be "friends" with anybody they like, just send a friend request and stare at your notifications until the person accepts.
Before technology it use to mean something, like many.. many words.
Women use this term loosely because majority of them are emotionally dependant, they believe they should be "friends" with [u]Everybody...[/u]
So.. Are any of these people your "friends?" Here on these forums?
I'm going to tell you bluntly = [b][u]No[/u][/b]
However since majority of you live in a Disney Fairy tale.
[u][b]Take this test[/b][/u] about how well you know your "friend":
1. Do you know their real name?
2. Do you know their gender?
3. Do you know their age?
4. Do you know what they look like?
5. Do you know what they Sound like?
6. Do you know why the reason they are over the forums in the first place?
7. What's their favourite game?
8. Last time you've done an activity together? If so how many times?
9. Last time you laughed so hard you fell over? If so how many times?
10. Last time you've just hung out?
10/10 = Real Friend
Over 50 hours of activities = Real Friend
So if majority of your answers is yes, you're either are true "friends" or a Stalker/FBI/Justin Beaver fan or.. A Pedestrian.
But for those of you who got majority of No's.
I'm going to save myself a lot of time with this:

I don't like using the word cringe but holy -blam!- if I had to use it to describe anyone it would be you.

10/10 Ive known him since Kindergarten.

I think putting numbers and requirements on friendship is defeating the purpose.

Edited by ThaddeusHamlet: 8/28/2016 12:14:39 PMI have IRL friends who I can get pretty much 10/10 with. I also have people that I've met on this website and have talked to for many months. I may not be able to get 10/10 with them, but I still gladly call them real friends. Is there I difference in the type of friendship? Of course. But that doesn't mean that it isn't friendship. But I agree to a small extent; simply clicking a button does not make you friends.

I agree, acquaintance and friend have become almost synonymous.

Someone's jealous of others having friends...
