      What happens if they either have a common name OR have strict privacy settings? Avoid? And just curious why?

      @JustSomeEm I consider Facebook the closest you'll get to see a true person on the internet. They have family and friends , work colleagues etc. What they post and the company they keep says a lot about them. To consider them a friend I would meet I'd expect we would add each other on Facebook first.

      If the person doesn't have much internet history (i.e. On FB Less than a year or no friends/family added) it's more likely they aren't who they say they are. This is from my experience of course - I've been a server moderator, admin and ambassador to international chat rooms and P2P services and I've responded to hundreds of weirdo complaints and catfish claims. I've also met at least 30 people from various community groups.

      I'm sure I'm on some actively avoid lists

      I wouldn't avoid you. Well, not actively anyway :wink:

      Not that I know of but it is a popular site with millions of users so chances are that at least one person I have met is also a member here.
      I have not attempted to meet anyone from here on purpose.
      I have met people from another message board in the past and it was okay but we live far away so it was pretty much a one time meeting. We have been online/long distance friends for 16-17 years.

      Have I met anyone from here?

      I haven't... but I would.

      Just nothing weird.





      I mean, you know... nothing too weird.

      You literally live as far from most everyone as possible.

      Curious about this too since I keep a low internet profile for work reasons.

      To answer the original question: yes, one person.

      Yikes. I have no family other than my elderly father, who probably has only a vague idea of what Facebook is, and even less interest in signing up. I think I have maybe 40 friends on there, all people I know IRL.

      I knowwwwwww, it stinks

      Sooo....do they have planes where you live? Maybe they have planes where an MFP friend lives? I'd say there is no excuse not to see/meet someone if you really wanted to :)

      My problem is all of the people that I want to meet are too spaced out and that would equal a ton of plane fare. What I need is a MFP reunion in a central location.

      A pool party in NY perhaps?

      Lol that's right, I'd forgotten about that

      I will leave the keys to the house under the front door mat, if I'm not there just go in and throw the party.....I'm sure I will be there shortly

      Yup. Just one, when I was traveling. There are a few more I’d like to meet. But the Dakotas are kind of not close to many

      Nope, pretty sure most people would find me offputting if they met me in person, anyway.

      Story time with @Continue_My_Dear
      Gather 'round

      Alright young ones gather 'round. This is a tale of dishonesty. Once a young girl befriended me, she told me she lived close and I was excited with the prospect of a walking partner. We planned to meet at a local park to walk. It turns out my friend Kelsey was actually named Michael and was 17 years older than he said he was. So I left and deleted and blocked him. Moral of the story maybe talk on the phone first...
