LOL. I don't know about anyone else on RIU, but "friends", to me, are the two people that I have known pretty much my whole life and that I can count on through thick and thin, and are still standing next to me when the bullets start flying. I don't consider someone I gave some grow advice to one time a friend. We are all friendly to one another here, but are we really friends? Kinda hard to be friends with someone when you can't even know their real identity. Know what I mean jellybean. Sucks that it has to be that way, but until Mary becomes legal, no choice on that. Seriously though, does it mean this person want's my e-mail address?, my home tel #?, you know. Or is it just like whenever they need advice they reach out to me instead of asking a question on a forum, and that's it? Let me know, IF you know...friend. LOL
You know, I got to thinking about that too when I got the request, who the fuck is this? A cop?. But no I dont think so. Other forms have this feature.
I think it is more like you said " like whenever they need advice they reach out to me instead of asking a question on a forum, and that's it?"
Well my opinion anyway.........friend
LOL

Good looking out. Glad to know the "spellcheckers" are ever vigilantWell, he's going to bed, he must be weary!
. 
Now how about making yourself really useful and answer the question at hand, or would you rather make sure everyone on RIU brushes their teeth and washes behind their ears? LOL!

What's up twistyman? I hear what you're saying, but seeing as most of us are doing something illegal, with some pretty stiff penalties(ie, jail) being the punishment if caught, I don't think my question was too far out of line. I don't have a problem helping anyone on RIU, or being "friends" with someone, as long as it's reserved to the site. That's all my question was. "What does befriending someone entail?" Just wanted to be certain that my personal shit wasn't gonna be divulged to someone that I have absolutely no knowledge of. Some might call me paranoid, I call it being careful. I don't know if the guy gets my e-mail address or anything else that can be traced back to me in real life? There was a thread on here where a guy asked a simple question. The first 10 ppl that answered him went off in 10 different directions, none of which answered his question. Seamaiden ended up giving me some +rep because I was the one that simply answered his very simple question, with a very simple, DIRECT answer. WTF man, is it really that hard? With all the useless posts in this thread, my question could have been answered 10X over and it would have been done.Why is it when someone says I want to be a friend or how are you there has to be an ulterior motive.... Ve need prints and a urine sample...snell... or you're verbotin... Tough room......
Like I said, I come on here 98% of the time to see if there's someone I can help. It's very rare when I need help, and I'm sorry I even asked for help this time around. What's up twistyman?

Mostly the people that ask to be "a friend" are those that are like minded..either by grow knowledge, humor or whatever.. something they saw about your style they liked... as for your private info, unless you post it in your profile they have no access... sorry if this all came out ass backwards... At first I had no clue about the friend thing either... still hasn't changed anything for me one way or the other.....
