Lots of friends. Or, just a few? What suits you?

Some people like to have a wide social network spanning far and wide.

Others like just a handful of intimate relationships, where more time can be spent really getting to know those few people.

What style suits you most?

The latter, really. Having a few close acquaintances is nice, too. But not a hundred people I barely know, blech

I prefer quality over quantity. Lots of intenationals on my FB which I like to share what is really going on and vice versa. 20 is a hard number to reach but like we used to say in the Army. Its where you find out that you can count them on one hand. Sad but almost really true.

Quality over quantity for me

Just a few quality friends

A few very close friends has always been my preference. I enjoy one on one time with them and when you have a huge social network, your time is stretched too thin between other matters and so you never get enough time with each person. Some people can maybe juggle that or they have a ton of friends that they get together with every so often, but for me personally I couldn't imagine having more than a handful of individuals that know me well and that I, in turn, truly know.

I think you can have lots of acquaintances, but not lots of friends. How do you define a friend? I'd say a friend is somebody that''ll watch out for ya while you take a piss in the alley. Somebody that'll take ya to the airport. Someone who will listen to you piss and moan and order two more pints. But, hey, that's just me.
