Lately, the concept of "friends" seems to have become incredibly diluted by the casual use of the term by Facebook, MySpace et al. But in "the real world" what do you consider to be important when you are making and becoming friends? Is it how long you've known someone? How frequently you meet up? What you have in common? Something more intangible? Also, I'd love recommendations of any books looking at the psychology of how people become friends.

Are there any good online communities that deal with relationship issues, specifically a seemingly inevitable (and necessary) divorce with young kids involved? I'm looking for an intelligent, adult dominated place (like here) where I can kvetch, commiserate, and maybe get a little non-worthless outside perspective on my situation. I'm a guy if that makes a difference, but ideally I'd like to find a community that is not gender-specific. Thanks.
