Would anyone be open to make a new friend with someone in a different country on facebook even if you've never met them in real life?

I barely want to make FaceBook friendships with people that I meet on a daily basis!
LOL, Facebook has turned random acquaintances into friends since 2003!
I think that intent totally gets lost when it is just another "metric" to show their success, whether it is useful or not.
What problem is this solving?
