BuddyPress.org

Are you asking if there is a way to have a user’s friends only available to him or her? Adult dating sites and consulting groups/companies find the end users like a layer of privacy that doesn’t let site users see their friend connections. I dont know if it can be done in buddypress.

You could go line by line through the theme to remove pages that display friends, but I’ve never tried to see if it would work.
