I tried very hard to discover the "add as a friend" icon on people in real life but unfortunately I miserably failed at it. Does somedy know why? ^^
All that nonsense to simply say that becoming friends on italki is way more easier that in this defective software called life.
To answer to your question, yes, I have made more friends in italki  than in real life, because friends on italki are so still and quiet and, above all, they don't speak French. ("-_-)

It is impossible to compare

oh my! How can you be a loser ? The quantity of friends is never a problem, the quality is.

='[[ Unfortunately, seeing as I only have five friends in reallife, and I meet people everyday on here, and I have been on here everyday since Jauary...Yes. I have much more friends on iTalki than I do in reallife. Yes, I am a loser.
