"You have no friends." This is a very comforting message to get when opening a new account here. LOL. So... how do I make "friends"? I am NEW & oh so green. Just starting to put up a profile. Hope to get with the program soon.
Peace...

Read people's blogs, respond to the ones that seem interesting, you might end up having a conversation with some of them, and blammo, you'll get a few friends. Join some groups related to topics that interest you.

Basically, you make friends here just like you do in real life, by finding people you have things in common with and talking with them. Only here, it's a whole lot easier to know who you have things in common with before you first talk with them.

There are other ways to rack up a lot of "friends," but some of them will get you more enemies than friends and/or get you really crappy "friends."

Join some local groups where you will definitely find people you can relate to.

eta: some slightly more legible grammar.

It's worth noting that many local regional groups have fairly strict entry requirements, because there's a lot of personal info floating around in the group and people having events at their houses and we like to limit the chance of members getting slaughtered by axe-wielding maniacs and whatnot. So be sure to read the "about this group" message before you apply to join, if it's a private group.

I've found that the best way to make friends on SG is to meet them in person. There's a veriety of ways to do that, such as hitting up the annual public meets like Prom, SG DIsneyland.

Of course the most regular way is to probably check out the Regional groups listing and find one that's near you and leave a blog comment on the group owner's blog asking when the next public get together is.

You can also check out the Live tab and see if there's anything going on around you. And, of course, keep an eye on the Hookup board[/url[.

And no post of mine talkin' about how to meet members would be complete without my mentioning Club Suicide
which, currently, is happening monthly in Los Angeles area. There's been some talk about having other Club Suicide events at other venues around the world, but from what I've seen, hasn't gotten past the "whoa that'd be cool!" and "Yes! Someone throw a party for me!" stage (please correct me if I'm wrong!). But that said, the events in L.A. have brought in members and models from all over the world who go there just to hang out, get liquored up, and dance with eachother.

But then, this is all coming from someone who has 95% of his friends list from people that I first started to interact with in SG's chat room (including my fiance.) biggrin

Apparently, a steady stream of passive/aggressive, smart-assed comments garners one a bevy of beautiful babes.

Your results may differ.

Also, don't be an axe-wielding maniac. It puts people off.

you're from LA
club suicide is next friday.
pretty safe bet to ask the photobooth photographer who the SGLA people are.

and since some people have a problem finding the echo plex (it's kinda weird the first time) here's a helpful visual aid
