Nice that you have a true friend.
I don't have one. Not trying to say others are not good. May be I have some serious drawbacks but really I can't make friends just for the sake of making one.
I have a very (and of course, some part time friends!) good friend in university but not sure if good is good enough to be considered as a true friend.
Agree with you in that true friends are hard to come by!
Take care!

Great topic. Kdlee has put it very well. Showing your true self and being accepted - that's what being with a true friend should be like.
Unfortunately, in day to day life, we tend to mask ourselves and put on pretences. Hiding away the real "you," the part that is the most vulnerable if ridiculed or spited.
If you had asked me if I had a true friend about a year ago, I would have simply said no. I would like to think that I do have one now. Or at least, one in the making. True friends grow, not just appear on trees
She's my closest friend.
I always try to be a true friend to those around me. I am one of those nice people who would go out of their way to do something for the ones they love. I hope so anyway.That's why it was so easy to take advantage of me in the past. Maybe I do this because I know that it is what I would want from someone else.

Sorry, that was meant to go before your post
I think what kdlee meant was not just physically naked, but mentally too. As in "baring your soul" rather than just your body.
No experience on my part either. It's not weird.
I don't mind makeup as long as it's done nicely and not caked on. It can be artistic. I personally don't wear any because I'm lazy/don't mind being seen without.

"A true friend is a loyal loving friend, packaging may vary-contents still the same." - nice 
!
I've always been predominantly attracted to people because of what sort of PERSON they are rather than the looks. I mean, sure, I appreciate a good looking person, but I get over that. In the end, it's all down to who they are.
I feel happy reading about those of you who have found true love and friendship in your partner. I hope I can some day.
Why is it that true friends are so rare...?

Nice to see you back!
Ya, agreed..........
Wow!, you are like me! I respect your thoughts! They are wonderful! Ya, it's all down to the person they are.
Alright, true friends are rare. Even if you get one, it's only one that you will probably get. However, in a perfect sense, God is the only true friend and if you have Him in your life, you don't need anyone else (philosophical?).
True friends are rare because we live in a selfish world where we are busy with ourselves (not being pessimistic though!) . As I said before, If you have God as your true friend, you don't need anyone else (philosophical again? sorry for that).
