How many real life friends do you have?
 
Not just aquaintences, but real friends.

Vodstok 08-06-2004 09:46 AM

I picked 3-5, which is probably being a bit generous. I have very little use for most other humans.

fluffho 08-06-2004 09:55 AM

i also put 3-5... 2 best friends but maybe 3-4 close ones, just we dont talk much cuz of differeing schedules..

hmmm, guess that makes 6. oh well.

alixzander 08-06-2004 10:09 AM

i have alot of freinds. i can get along with just about anyone as long as they don't try to tear others down.

Shadowstar 08-06-2004 10:13 AM

I have tons, around the 11-20 range. I'm a friendly person.

zwoti 08-06-2004 10:15 AM

6-10 mostly work mates.

kpropain 08-06-2004 10:17 AM

I'm an attention whore. Everyone loves me.

Egekrusher 08-06-2004 10:36 AM

Vodstok 08-06-2004 10:37 AM

Bah.... who needs real freinds anyway? :)

massacre man 08-06-2004 10:38 AM

im friends with like more than half of my school

ShankS 08-06-2004 10:49 AM

these days 6 to 10ish.

A majority of them are work mates, go out drinking occasionaly and play online games when I get home from work in the mornings lol sometimes.

a few other close friends, and an Italian family living just outside Rome, I've known and been close friends with most of my life.

nine9 08-06-2004 11:05 AM

I don't like having too many friends..........they get demanding! LOL!

I have only a couple of people who I consider my real friends...............countless aquaintances! :rolleyes:

Egekrusher 08-06-2004 11:14 AM

I'm not exactly the easiest person in the world to get along with. I'm lazy to the point of absurdity. I don't clean my room, my car and I go weeks without showering. The only people I find myself compelled to be friends with are fellow computer nerds in real life and pretty much anyone online because they only see a projected image of me (think "residual self image" from The Matrix). People online see the edited, well articulated version of me. The reality is much more dull and bumbling. I have a hard time with talking because I get embarrassed so easily. I am extremely shy IRL, while online... well, I can be a bit of a loudmouth, probably because I just feel much more comfortable on a place like this.

bwind22 08-06-2004 11:34 AM

I have a very tight group of friends from high school that I still try to hang out with as much as possible, unfortunately it's not as often as I would like, but we are still pretty tight nonetheless.

My fiance's friends are now a part of my circle of friends too, so I picked 10-20. Hundreds of acquantances (I sell real estate, so I am constantly staying in touch with and meeting new people, in an attempt to get their business when they decide to sell their house.), but only about 15 real good friends.

meetthecreeper 08-06-2004 11:49 AM

I know this sounds cliche' but my wife is my best friend, and I have 2 other close friends that I know that if I killed someone they would help me hide the body and cover it up. Now you know those are close friends.

I'm an attention whore. Everyone loves me.

Arioch 08-06-2004 02:05 PM

Real friends? I used to be an attention whore, but ive since done a 180*, id say 0-1 REAL friends these days....

Stingy Jack 08-06-2004 02:32 PM

Hmmm ... how do you judge a real friend? I don't think I would want to be friends with someone who would help me cover up a murder ... so that doesn't count.

Here's a short list on how I determine who is a true friend:

1. He helps me move without expecting payment.

2. I feel comfortable borrowing money from him.

3. We can be in the presence of each other for long periods of time without feeling the need to say anything.

4. He'll drop everything (to a reasonable degree) to rush to my aid if I'm in a tight spot.

So, from this list, I have ....... 1. Not counting my wife. Everyone else finds me disagreeable nowadays. I used to be pretty popular in high school ... but, too many people have succumbed to that "adult comformity" thing that they don't feel comfortable around me for very long. At least not on anything deeper than a superficial level. Don't get me wrong, I'm the life of our parties, and everyone thinks they want to be great friends with me when we first meet ... but either they get on my nerves too badly, or they can't stand my constant bitching about how the world and people in general are so fucked up. I drive away many potential friends that way. Thankfully, my 1 friend enjoys bitching just as much as I do, and joins right in when I get in one of my "moods"! But I can be tiresome to people, that's for sure. Which is okay. I like to be alone most of the time, anyway. :D

orangestar 08-06-2004 03:24 PM

One 'Best' friend who I can say absolutley anything too and I know he'll still love me for who I am.

10-20 other good friends. I force myself to be easy to get along with. And Im an attention whore

moonsorrow 08-06-2004 03:54 PM

Hate_Breeder 08-06-2004 07:02 PM

about 11-20

LilMissScareAll 08-06-2004 07:18 PM

Not many...basically just my parents and my cats. And I have a few long distance friends...otherwise, that's it. I've pretty much given up on people. :rolleyes:

Nope...I have a couple of long distance friends...my parents...my cats. That's it. I don't have any friends in my area anymore. :o

LilMissScareAll 08-06-2004 07:59 PM

Thanks :)
It said real life friends though...I just have a few long distance friends that I've met and know in person. I lose basically all of my "friends" eventually.

My requirements as well. I lied, actually, I do have one real friend, but I see him so little that we may as well not know each other any more.

LOL, it sounds like we'd have a lot to talk about together IRL. I don't speak of it that much IRL, but I feel the same way about the world and people.

I'm a pretty solitary guy as well.

KRUGERKID13 08-07-2004 05:26 PM

in all honesty i dont really trust anyone

Chainsaw Guy 08-07-2004 05:38 PM

i have like 7 real friends

GorePhobia 08-07-2004 08:11 PM

i also have alot of friends i have a great personality that everyone can get along with i guess u can say im a whore :)

mayoisthedevil 08-07-2004 09:00 PM

2-3. I agree with Stingy Jack. Sometimes i don't talk to my friends for months, but we're still really close friends. It's nice to be with someone and not have to think about filling empty space.
