Me a social monkey, social monkey want to spend time with other social monkeys.
I believe that humans have physiological needs with respect to human interaction. Talking to other people in a context where you can read their body language and, if intimate, have physical contact, is very important in maintaining social/emotional health.
Physical contact, face to face interaction, someone to go out with in real life. Also, internet discussion of controversial issues can be more difficult than real life discussion. I have found people are more reasonable and open minded in real life. In general, I can't talk to my internet friends about anything controversial or philosophical, which is something I enjoy discussing, but not arguing about.
Being able to enjoy physical activities (going to the cinema, eating together, etc) together.
Understanding more of my day to day life, closer relationships
Partners in class, I don't look like as much of an outcast, they give me the affection by touch that I crave for, and I can hang out with them and gossip about school things.
They're close to me because we know each other in person and have been longer friends
Activities are expanded for real life friends, meaning we could do literally anything, including online activities, while online friends are generally limited to online activities.
We share the same beliefs and experiences. We can also provide a community for each other in a way we couldn't if we lived farther away from each other.
Deeper friendship at a faster pace
The ability to hang out in person
Physical company, in-person activity partner, physical comfort, someone who isn't far if needed.
The ability to hang out on their couches and eat their food. That's a glib answer, but it's true. They give me people to go outside my house and have fun with.
Meeting in person
Being able to meet in person and do physical activities together
I can see them face-to-face and we can discuss more personal aspects of our lives with each other
Disappointment
N/A

we can actually see each other face to face, they know how i am in different environments whereas online, i have more ease at making myself look better
More accessible on a constant basis, easier to open up to
