Friendship sites

In 2006 i was visiting a friend and he told me about a site called hi5, so i checked it out and thought, well… why not i register and make an account there where i can find some new people with same interests.
So i gave it a try and wrote some stuff about me and downloaded some pics as i was asked to do so, after a few days i received the 1st message there from someone asking me to give her my email so we can talk and i did.
Days passed and we met and it was like a short period relationship then i thought WOW that was so easy .
I found like five or six other sites talking about the same idea which i chose to register in all and that made me know , meet and even date a lot of people .
The question is : should this be called the new type of friendship ? :)
I know its all about choices but for those who chose this way, are they really convinced that this is a civilized way to get to know people? or do they say that they can always choose good people among mostly dirty ones to deal with on these kinds of sites?
I really wonder why does some people use pictures and names which aren’t really theirs? and why do they use fake emails , what are they scared and embarrassed of ?
From my experience there, i saw some girls putting pictures which are not theirs and others are using famous actors or singers and some guys are using girls pictures and names thinking that this will attract girls more if they knew its from the same gender.
So what the hell is all that for?
Is it some porn sites undercover using a (friendship) name ?
Or is it just the delusional internet world that people like to live in because they don’t have any other real world that can be called life ?
From my experience, its all the above plus the emptiness from the inside but unfortunately i never saw this wrong while i was doing it yet, at least i never tried to convince myself that it was right like some people do so that they don’t see how dirty sick minded they are .
They never take a good look in the mirror like i did so that they wont see it 3OLO2EYA under the name of friendship ;)
Guess real life is sometimes dirty too but at least its REAL … !!!!

  1. Sometimes people who lack self-confidence tend to unreveal their real identities, not to mention those who escape security or social threat for some reason or another. The state of being “online” gives you much valued freedom by being behind the screen.

    I experienced online friendships for so long now, to an extent when both parties share the truth about themselves it turn into real friendships, just real life “offline” friendships, the only difference is the lack of face-to-face.

    I don’t get your point when you judge real life shit as better than online shit, both are shit :) . The online world gives you much more potential and broadness to choose, and you can always extend this online existence to real life when you choose, and it is amazing when online friendships turn to strong real life friendships. Connection is much better esp with the extensibility of online life these days.

    I was a member in some online forum and we made a lot of real life meetings to add what I called the “human touch” to our online activity. These meetings offered us some kind of diversity you can hardly find in normal hangouts.

    Though still, I hate hi5 VERY much! :)

    Have a nice day.

  2. yes mohamed i agree with what you said but that’s not what i meant or at least saw,so few of who i knew online were really frank and honest because most on those friendship sites just played games starting by lying about their names ending by jumping in bed with you without you knowing they are already married .
    trust me my friend i met lots of those types and it all started under the mask of friendship .
    i am never ashamed now to say that’s how i used to use those sites and at the end its all about choices, you can always use the same thing but in different ways .
    thanks for dropping by :)

  3. zaman 2alo fel amsal REALITY BITES!!! :)
    some one’s reality might be another’s fiction you know :)
    I 1000% agree with you that most friendship sites (dating actually) like hi5 and tagged are nasty by all means…but some other forums and sites that join people of a decent interest is decent and develop great friendships like what Gohary mentioned…might it be journalism, politics or religion…it’s -as you mentioned- about what we choose to do and who we choose to be.
