We cannot have so many friends, but can have acquaintances, contacts etc. As far as females are considered, they don't attach much importance to friendship. Um, their friends are mostly their spouses' friends and family. I am seldom a frequenter in FB, or nil I can say.Anyway a useful write-up. rudraprayagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775039913655864157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-11019332392044705902018-08-07T15:32:44.833+05:302018-08-07T15:32:44.833+05:30Online or offline, park bench or facebook, people ...Online or offline, park bench or facebook, people will be people.

Looks like younger people send friend request to unknown people (of opposite sex) and they are added immediately.

Even many blogger friends fade away and new ones enter.Nevertheless friendships are fine as long as they last.KParthasarathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189924874350906456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-29115346818701996932018-08-06T01:28:17.774+05:302018-08-06T01:28:17.774+05:30Hi Pradeep - I think I agree ...

I'm hardly on FB ... but do wonder why people spend so much time there, and how they have time to put up what they post up ... and what they're trying to achieve ... and I've met lots of blogging friends some in real life, but some I feel I could be in their area and we'd get on. I do enjoy seeing blogging friends with their original posts. Thankfully I don't have many and don't worry too much ... take care and cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
