have you noticed

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

bigdaddy--it seems all your friends are "Fair Weather".

Well if you're looking in the P4P industry for friends, I might suggest a different route. Originally Posted by London Rayne

I have made a few close friends here, as we have talked about before. But never when looking--friendship is like a watched pot.

I have found it odd/surprising to see some here, post the comment (more than once), that "Xxx (another board member) is my Best Friend"!!*

I'm sure it's possible... but I have to wonder how many real trials and tribulations have they actually shared together?

I could easily say Naomi and SNL are very close friends, but I don't see them often enough to know what they are like under pressure lol. The reverse is also true. Ask my parents how hard it is to be with me for a week ha ha.

I hear ya... it must be a rainy week in DW, eh?

Given the etiquette of this forum I would expect no one to just "listen" to me or vice versa. Just sayin'. Originally Posted by Shayla

Though, I can say I am friends with the guys I see most often and would be there if they needed me in a way that had nothing to do with this, many women are not here for that. Once you leave, you're out of sight out of mind. That's not always a bad thing, and probably the main reason guys come here to begin with, so you really can't get all butt hurt over it.

Many men would die if a provider called them up and told them her boyfriend left her, and she just wanted to vent lol. They would probably tell her to go to the Powder Room or see a shrink...cuts both ways I guess.

I do hope you find what you need. Originally Posted by London Rayne

London, you don't give yourself enough credit. You have been helpful to someone you've never met before. You are that way. You'd be there for a lot of people.

London was the very first person that reached out to me when I first joined eccie. Sure some people thinks she's a biatch but she's a good hearted person and always willing to help anyone in need. She is my friend on and offline and I'm very glad I met her. Yes she doesn't give herself enough credit. When I need someone to talk to/laugh with/complain to, I call her and life is good again. She's like family to me.

Ok that's enough.

I will repeat what others have said. This is not the place to find true friends, try facebook lol. Let it happen. Just remember that true friendship is not something you can force and you'll be ok.

Awww Buzz, Naomi....blush.

It amazes me every day just how many great people I have met in this little world...didn't think that would ever happen here.

Certainly can tell from a lot of you that have had the opertunity to meet each other or just thru time have just gotten to know ones personality even here that people care. People can have friends in many ways. I think you can certainly enjoy some here as well. I think even an acquaintance can be a friend or someone you trust as many do here, it can be someone you have feelings of affection or just personal regard for. Sometimes friendship is just companionship that may have been based on the kind of experiences they have had or with to have in the future.

There are a "few" people here, that I trust more than some of my real life friends. I guess that's because here I can't lie about being a whore, and people here don't ask me to do so.
