I think that it depends on who requests to be your friend. In some cultures it's not appropriate to have friends of the opposite sex, but in cyberspace no one knows!! Isn't interesting that a lot of people use celebrities' photos to portray themselves?

well, because we dont know what will happen next..

cause it would be more interesting, i dont know?

i'm not sure i ever noticed it before but maybe speaking for myself, maybe it's because i hope that 1 of those female friends might someday become a girlfriend.

because most women think that man as friend will be honest with her advice,experience will play role in choosing friend
