Why is it that there are some people who just cannot accept making friends from the online community but there are some who are so at ease with it that good things blossom out of those meetings?
There is always a mentality that people who needs to resort to the online community to find friends must be desperate but I don't think it is that way. Maybe in the days when mIRC was the craze, it was really the case. For those who were active in those days, remember the random stranger who would come up to you for a conversation and ask if you want to be their gf? THAT was madness. And the unbelieveable thing was that there were actually people who buy into it. I'm not condemning anyone, I do have friends whom I've made online and they are actually nice people out there. But I'm only wondering why is that a few black sheep in the virtual world would destroy the whole image of the people out there.
Personally, I don't mind meeting people online. Chatting to them has virtually (no pun intended) no consequences because there is always the possibility that you would never ever meet the person in real life. You guys can chat about anything and the other party would actually listen to you, whether out of politeness or real interest that is another story. Well, I believe that the type of people who are out there making friends in the virtual world is unlike that of the past. They are nice people.
