Today I debated the relative creepiness of adding random other internationals who seem interesting as my facebook friends. I haven't done it yet, added people with whom I have no real world contact. The trouble is it seems 1 part pathetically friendly and 1 part webstalking...in the absolute best case scenario. I suppose I have to grow a pair and track down the crazy expat parties instead.
Making web friends does seem far easier, though, not to mention incurring far less transportation cost.
Care to weigh in?

As long as you've had some decent, prolonged communcation, whether it be in real life or online, I say it's ok. But then again I don't use the Facebook.
Are you friending them or are they friending you? Either way, I don't see the harm and I think the sketchiness quotient is pretty low. I do it. You never know, you might meet someone cool. And really, facebook is pretty high-control so there's a limit to the worst that could happen.
So, does it mean the same thing for a woman to "grow a pair" as for a guy? And if so, certainly feminism needs to make some progress here, hmmm? :^)
