THE WORLD IS BEAUTIFUL

Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more people. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, and affection and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis.

I think that leads us to some interesting social questions. Can people who have never met one another exhibit co-operative and supportive behavior online? Yes. Virtual work teams, for example, are able to work together without actually meeting in person. "I know from experience dude…"
But does close physical proximity lead to an enhanced friendship experience? And if it does, will it always?
Also, at what point in time is it socially acceptable for me to request supportive behavior from a new found friend? Can I hit up @goldenskye, @robmay, or @dgregoire for $20 now that we have behaved in a cooperative manner by following each other on Twitter. Or can I only hit up @robmay and @dgregoire for the money because I’ve met them in person?
Can I ask any of them for a job? Can they vouch for me? Should the thought even cross my mind?
I understand that there are no one size fits all ground rules. I understand that everybody is different and that every situation is different, that its all about context, and that my mileage may vary… etc. But online friending still denotes some assemblence of an implied relationship that can easily be misconstrued by one or both parties.
Should there be some sort of social media etiquette so that individuals don’t commit feux pauxs and inadvertently ostracize themselves from the people that they want to meet and establish relationships with?
How do i describe need of friendship ? i think finding friends is a basic tool for social media & networking sites.
Would love to read what you think this friend etiquette would look like… provided that you see value in it at all.

My response to that John is that my experience with those scenarios ha s taught me that anything is possible . That WGT online virtual golf users are not a good example of any hope for humanity . There are isolated and rare individuals that could be called ambassadors to humanity here in WGT .
but it may have little to do with WGT . And may be an Arizona thing . Lol .
John . You would stand out in any community , group or circle . In a very positive light . And have actually done amazing and generous acts that has proven that you would be one that anyone could ask anything of . With out fear of rejection . And actually be able to accept rejection from .

There was a time that my ignorant self . felt that WGT was riddled with individuals with similar attributes .
Through many lessons and observations have learned that quite the opposite is more the result more of the time than I knew was even possible from so many humans .
Interesting John. I will comment more tomorrow . It's way past my bedtime .
