How many friends do you have?

How many friends do you have?

And I don't mean drinking buddies you see once a week/month....proper friends.

I'd imagine there's a lot of loners out there these days. (which isn't a bad thing of course. Roy Keane ftw.)

13 according to my profile. :(

0 on my boards profiles

*cries*

But in the real world, loads of mates, 15 or so friends, 3 really close friends and 1 best friend.

Xavi6

19 boards friends

Well over a hundred on Bebo though, and that's all that matters.

None on boards, I don't care about lists online...

I also consider those who I see rarely as my better friends. Those I see often are not my good friends...

2 best friends.. one of them is in OZ for good:( two other close friends and about 50 friends that I grew up with or know through clubs or work

themadchef

Real friends to me are friends that are there for you good times...and bad.

I also think your comprehension of friendship changes as you mature. It was who you sat beside in school, went on the pull/pi*s with in college and who you bi*ch about your ex to .

I dunno, but as you get older,things change. You may not see your friends as much but you know they are there for you, and you there for them whatever the circumstances.

I'd honestly say i have 2 friends that i could tell absolutely anything to.

In$omniac

Out of the 28 on boards I’d say I talk to 10 daily.

Something you use to help pump up your balls when they're a bit deflated.

dontcallmecrazy

feck all, i have one friend who i can call up for a ''girls night out'' and my BF i have a big family tho so that helps.

BF has loads of mates, who i steal from time to time, but always still sorta just feel like the mates GF if that makes sense??

Friends - who fcuking needs them? Some stranger you meet and you end up putting up with their moodies, insecurities, drinking/drug problems, listening to what a crappy life they have. Screw that - I've got my wife, kids, extended family, all of whom I know I can rely on so I don't need a friend, don't want a friend.

Oh and people who class strangers on Facebook etc who they've never met in real life (if they even know what that is) as friends are very sad individuals who should step away from their keyboard every now and then.

I'm very lucky as I have a lot of very close friends who I see nearly every weekend at one point, I've also 2 sisters who I'm glad to say are my best friends, and various friends around the country & living in England who I keep in touch with via email/Facebook etc, and would see about twice a year.

Sometimes its hard work keeping up with everyone and friendships are like any relationships, you only get back what you put in, but I think its worth the effort.

On boards.. I doubt ive any... and am okay with that..

In real life ... hmmm... about 10 really close friends.. that only really matter... and then some.. of course.

marzic

'The Ladz' friends(for havin the crack, what goes on tour etc)= 5
'old stock' friends(types youd want in an emergency, but no crack anymore) = 3
'wife' (no good in a crisis or on tour!) = 1
boards = 0

Kold

I think I'm very lucky to have a lot of very close friends.

Last night was great. Went out for my birthday and had about 20 people there at one stage from all walks and different peer groups and they were all really close friends and a lot more couldn't make it. I've never really been a part of any big groups of mates, but the friends I do make stay friends for life.

Indeed, the moodies, insecurities, drinking/drug problems, and crappy lives of people you don't get to choose are far superior, of course!

Also, being "self reliant" and having friends are not mutually exclusive. That's like saying "Why would I need a car when I have cake?". Unless the only resource out of your immediate reach was cake, and let's be honest, if the only thing missing in your life is cake, you're doing alright. Unless all you require in life is cake, not even pants, or maybe you're able to fashion pants *from* cake.

Which is a bit beside the point anyway, what I'm getting at here is don't make up some fake macho reason why you're a billy-no-mates.
