I never really think about it much but I value the real ones more. If it came down to the two groups it would be the real ones. They're the ones you really know. It doesn't matter long you talk to someone online. You can be pretty sure but you'll still never know who they really are. If they're who they say they are, if you can really trust them. I know people can lie to you in real life too but there are so many more things you can lie about online and being online, being just a screenname and text to everyone else just makes it easier. Theres no way to tell if someone is lying online unless you hunt them down and see for yourself. And considering some things thats not always a good idea.
Its still fun to get on and talk to people and make friends online, and there are thing you can talk about easier when your just typing, but to get close to anyone like you would in real life you have to put alot of trust in it. And you have to be carefull how much trust you put in it.
