69 "friends" are friendly bots automatically assigned to your account upon registration. it's a warm welcum in appreciation of you giving away your device client (and that virtual identity) to fb and hosted apps to be tracked and spammed. the ai detects your age, location, and sexual orientation (and preference) and adjusts the instant "friends" population with a good mix of male and female bots to tease your cyber cock or cunt, depending on your sex entry. the identities of the bots seem authentic, but they are all machine-masochists, very well programmed to pique your interest, soothe your ego, and maintain both handshakes and swordfights (a.k.a. genital salutations). nonetheless, there will be real human members (morons) who will "friend" you, for lack of life and real friendships on their part, as their cyber objectives include amassing as many followers, fake or real, as they can to boost their image and narcissistic tendencies. this also happens with tweeter and other shallow social media apps. my words with friends game app has 3 regular and real human opponents with a dozen handles and a dozen zynga bots with irregular pseudo-randomized handles. it's inevitable and part of cyber life these days. most important thing is to get an orgasm out of it. :p
