JUB buddies -> REAL friends.

[PatFrance71]

Hi,

After the reading of two "explosive" threads, I have a question.
Are some JUB members, who first don't know each other, able to become friends in the REAL life, not only on JUB.

If so, perhaps they can give some tips for those who want to find friends via JUB.
Because, if we're just posters...
Now, I hand over to you.

Sure they can.

I started chatting to one Jubber on here, met up with him when I was in the States last year and then went and stayed with him for a few weeks this year.

I consider him to be a real close friend of mine.

I hate everyone.

Yes, it can and does happen.

I met 4 guys at a meet in May who live about 5 hours from me and since then we have gotten together a few times. We talk on the phone and through messages.

And we have a few more times planned.

Yes, I have met JUBbers in real life and have become friends with them. It's definitely possible - the only limitation is distance.

JUB friends are like any online friends- the primary thing that you have in common with is the fact that you're both online.

Occasionally, you encounter someone that you have a kinship with. And that may carry over into real life.

JUB is a way to meet people but online friends are never a substitute for real life friends.... much in the way that JUB is not a substitute for a real life.

I hate everyone.

I like you.

But I'm suspicious of your pussy.

I like you.

But I'm suspicious of your pussy.

Awwwwwww...

Maybe I don't hate EVERYONE...


I'm sure if you would just stroke the pussy for a bit---we could allay your fears.

Are you sure that it's just the pussy that you want me to stroke?

Yep...

The pussy always wants a good pettin'.



The bf takes care of me pretty well.

I have a very good friend that I met through JUB, he moved to Montreal 2 years ago and PMed me looking for info on the city. We met and have become very good friends.

I have also met several other Jubbers at a Montreal Jub meet that I planned back in 2006, that was a really good experience. I think if you see someone that interest you just send them a PM,and take it from there. I think through a few PM's you can judge wether the person is interested or is real for that matter.

I also have other friends that have discovered and joined JUB besause of the JUB meet I had in 2006

... and your cavity needs a li'l fillin'?







Congrats on the bf, btw.

there are a number of jub buddies here that i count as very dear friends. we try to get together from time to time.

 

[gmoney]

I realize that this is mainly an 'online' community, but I've been to several Jub Meets, and have made some great friends.

The local ones, I see on a pretty regular basis. There are some that are quite far away, but we stay in touch outside of Jub.

 

[frankfrank]

In fact, I've found out, for real, that one can even become good friends with a mod, LOL!!

 

[Swellegant]

I know people become IRL friends after meeting here at JUB; in fact, I think two guys got together as a couple after meeting here.

There are people here on JUB with whom I feel I have a friendship, and several with whom I am also FaceBook friends. But I don't really communicate with people "offline." I don't really have friends anymore, just Caroline. It's a weird little thing I've developed the last couple of years.

I had brunch with G-Lex, once, though! That was a lot of fun.

I met my best friend on JUB when it had the chat room. We began chatting in a group...then in private...then traded phone numbers....then we visited....and now we text 20 times a day and talk almost daily although he lives in Denver and deleted his JUB account.

Also...I met another great friend on JUB again when the chat room worked. He lives in Tucson although we haven't met, I'm planning an AZ trip so it could happen in a few months.

Thanks JUB!!

Maybe I make friends easy, but I seem to have a nice mix of local and distant, young and old, virtual and real friends...I'm fortunate.

 

[PatFrance71]

I hate everyone.

Are you sick ?

Maybe I don't hate EVERYONE...

Phew ! Your case isn't desesperate

Yes, I have met JUBbers in real life and have become friends with them. It's definitely possible - the only limitation is distance.

I partially agree for the distance, but, for real friends, I don't think it's totally impossible (a visit for holidays for example).

In any case, I'm glad for you, guys who have found real friends by JUB.
In my case, an ex-JUB-buddy has disappointed me and I've removed him from my buddy list. But it seems that another one of my JUB-buddies... Let's be optimistic !

Are some JUB members, who first don't know each other, able to become friends in the REAL life, not only on JUB.

The key factor here is mutual honesty. If you strike up a friendship with somebody online, taken the time to get to know each other as well as you can, and both of you have never pretended to be someone that you are not (e.g. not posting pics that aren't you or giving out false information about yourself), then there's every chance that you can become friends with that person in 'real' life, should the opportunity ever present itself.


What a long-winded sentence! Hope you get my drift.

I'm not sure, but from my experiences you have to establish an online presence/reputation before people want to meet with you, OP.

Not easy because my native language is french and I don't speak english fluently. It takes time for me to translate posts and I don't read the very long posts completely if I can't translate it fastly enough. Another thing : the jet tag between France and USA for example. Difficult for a live chat.
OP ? What does it means ? I have to guess abbreviations. It impedes my translations. So establishing an online presence/reputation isn't an easy task. It will take much time.

Otherwise, about the option "Add XXXXX to my buddy list". If one member (let's call him Jub_A) adds another member (Jub_B) to his buddy list, what's the interest if Jub_B doesn't know that he is on the Jub_A's buddy list. The request option is more appropriate.
