I can actually meet up with them and do stuff with them
I can see them and hang out with them physically; I don’t have to sneak around the house when I call them (my parents don’t like online friends)
Real life interaction
Being able to hang out and support each other in person.
They feel much more real to fall back on. There's a different kind of banter that can exist when you can physically see each other and read body language. They are also much more of a "versatile" friend. With my online friends we talk, but I feel like there's only so much to talk about when you're talking everyday. I feel like I have to actively play games as a form of "hanging out" to keep the friendship flowing.
Being able to hang out in person, deeper friendships due to being in person, they can help you with things, learn new hobbies as you vary more
More thorough conversations, physical activities, banter
We can physically be close to each other, touch each other, drink together, have ***, etc.
