Genuine friendships I've found tend to grow from shared experience, common interests, time spent together. A natural sort of feeling versus a message that is a more targeted sort of vibe. Not saying messages are bad, just that I'm not expecting a genuine friend to show up in my dm's. Would be nice to be proven wrong someday.

You gotta know who you let in. And then take it from there I guess.

There are some that I’ve met here who would really just want to be friends.

I’ve had enduring friendships here. But they are few. Maybe you need to clear from the outset.

I don't really understand it either. What happened to just wanting to know other people with zero expectations? It's too much work to build any kind of relationship off ulterior motives and I don't have time for that.

In this age and life, it's a blessing to even meet a genuine person, let alone a lifelong friend.

Messages me? Confused. What is this "messaging" of which you speak?

Other than the occasional 20-something asking me if I'm having a nice day and hoping I might send her money. And she doesn't even offer feet pics. :-(

Really? people actually message you?
My first reaction...

Not really true some just enjoy chatting

Because many seek friendship for what it gives them, not for what it asks of their character!.

So play it nice. Play it straight and wait for the one out of ten..😷

Do you any evidence to support that statement? Plz share.

You can't trust anyone

Are we talking about generally In life of here? Bc here 99% have ulterior motive. In life, the percentage is less
