no 127.0.0.1 is only for your PC, open Run then type cmd, when cmd opens type ipconfig.Then you will see your IP, give that to your friend.

no it's not. 127.0.0.1 a.k.a localhost a.k.a ::1 are all loopback addresses (meaning they point to itself - this computer).. running the ipconfig in cmd will give you your local address (very often it is a 192.168.x.x), which is accessible from all devices in the same network.

the 'outiside' address or WAN address is a public IP, usually given by your ISP, and it represents your computer on the world wide web.

there is no need to add a public IP on local network (yes, wifi is also local network).

ontopic:

you should get your local ip by running start -> cmd -> ipconfig, and tell this ip to your friend.
