Ok so I was just wondering how everyone else applies boundaries to their online relationships and activities. I've always had very rigid (probably too rigid but working on it) boundaries when it comes to any interaction with males. I had very few male friends growing up because I keep myself so distant from them, and those I did have I slowly cut ties with around "cootie phase" and never went back. It took a long time before I was able to see the boyfriend as someone I could be close to.
We have many differences especially socially. Usually that works out well because we can feed off each other. Lately I've been wondering though, where other people set their boundaries when it comes to the internet. Looking at my facebook page (which I barely use to begin with), there aren't even male "friends" on there because I don't acquaint with enough to get to that status. The ones that are there are mostly coworkers. The bf however, a social butterfly has a very active facebook page. I guess I'm wondering, since I'm obviously not a normal comparison  , if anyone else has set restrictions on interactions

I keep boundaries fairly tight, especially for a site like FB which gives some away, can be sampled, and whose members use "tags" to spread links to li. Once given away on places like the Internet, you never retrieve your data.

I would be very careful about sharing information on any web site and especially FB. since once something is on the internet, you cannot maintain total control of it any longer. Here at pc, we all used screen names and are relatively safe but I am not sure that in this era of hackers and identity theft one should ever give up truly personal information

I absolutely use boundries on-line. Private information is no longer private once on the the web. You can go to many sights with a phone number, or name or email address and pull up extensive information on a person. I like rights of privacy and I think the internet is just beginning to be of some aid on that; but not nearly enough.
