You want to have a lot of friends but you don't want to put up too much effort in 【making】the friendship? That seems a bit 【common】 at first glance, but having thought about it a bit, I think a 【virtual】 friendship is the only way that you could probably pull this off successfully. The thing about a virtual friendship is that it's ethereal by nature, and thus can be as real or unreal as you want. It can be extended, expanded or 【thrived】 without much thought or difficulty any whichway. You don't really know who is on the other end, and you can be anyone you want without really being you. The question then is: if it's ethereal, if it's "virtual", how can it be real? Is it truly a 【friendship】?
