Friends.

[Skudd]

I only have a few, but they are good friends. I don't get to see or speak to them often, but when I do it is like it was only yesterday when we last spoke even though it could be nearly a year.

I know many people who have a large network of mates for all occasions. Their phone never stops ringing or texting.

Which type are you?

I'm of the first type.

People generally moving away has caused this.

First. I tried to be the second but just got annoyed with my phone going too much and people always wanting to do things.

I like my own company!

I don't generally like people.


That said, I have one or two true friends.


They're as nuts as me.

Oh, the wife says I like her. I'm not convinced.

I only have a handful of real friends, none of whom I see particularly often. But when I see any of them, we just pick up where we left off.

[hellkat]

Got loads of mates, not really any close friends.

The only person that won't let me down is me.
Even then ... ... sometimes I piss myself off.

Sometimes gets kind of lonely, the phone rarely rings, and even then it's usually family (or ex's ... !) - and I've even pretty much distanced my family, apart from my daughter and my current bloke. Hopefully they'll stick around, but who knows.

Of course, I could get off my fat arse and go hang out with people. They might even be pleased to see me, but I never believe that's going to be the case, they'll not think I have anything interesting to say or contribute ... so I just don't go.

I know lots of people, joys of being with in the rock and metal seance up here.
only a few people I would call on to see
and there's general only 4 people I go to see regularly it kinda hacks me off but when I sat down and think about it I would rather have a few people who general give a shit then lots that don't.

First type. I deal with a lot of people all the time but I can count on one hand those who are actual friends rather than acquaintances you see daily due to pure circumstance.

I see it as like you got your drinking buddies, fuck buddies, hobby-oriented buddies (ooo biker friends! ), other circumstantial day-to-day "buddies" such as uni classmates & work colleagues, then you got actual friends who've been there with you from DAY FAM INIT WE ROLL HARD DOE YA GET ME SPUD DAT SAFE.

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

Lots of mates but only a few hand picked friends I've known for decades. Two of which I see most weeks.
My best friend is my partner...Unless it goes tits-up.
Honorary mention to my Sister.

Most of us get to one of the bi-annual meetups where most get wrecked and make music..well I say music..sometimes it's more like a screaming therapy session.


It's weird meeting your friend's friend for the first time...In a good way.

About five good mates, see 3of them once or twice a month, another mate is in a band/gigging so see him mainly at pubs/bars fri/sat nights or at family BBQ's in summer etc. The other good mate has moved down south west, so I get 2-3 little holidays by the sea a year, and sea fishing, mountain biking and Cornish pasties!

2 close female friends, one I see every around 2weeks for a night out/in, but it's not enough!

Otherwise, I have a couple of old drinking mates from way back that I rarely see, 2blokes at work I occasionally go mountain biking with, a tuned car nut mate again I rarely see, and a bloke at work I sometimes go to watch the footy with if I'm really bored!

I have no biker mates left now except my dad, as they all either sold up, married with kids or moved away. I sometimes miss ride outs in summer, but then I don't ride big bikes anymore or are seriously into biking, more than talking about them!

Come to think of it I have no course fishing mates either now, but I like sitting by the canal on my own, mountain biking on my own, and riding silly smoky 125's by myself too!

[mentalboy]

Hey... What about me? I haven't got any friends

Just about enough I suppose. Problem with having a small group of friends, is that it's easy for them all to be busy at the same time and then for me to have nothing to do. I'm pretty comfortable with my own company, but it would be good to have a couple more people who I could just call up to hang out with.

[recman]

I have a couple of proper mates, the kind who'd put themselves out at short notice if I needed help.
Don't even think my dysfunctional family would bother their arses, except perhaps my unreliable brother.
We exchange pleasantries at rare get-togethers but I certainly don't need them.

[stevo as b4]

Most were mates first and then they got interested in bikes around the same time as me or after. A couple were mates from work who had bikes, and 2were my dad's biking mates.

I honestly don't have a good mate who owns a motorcycle now, But I'll go out for a cruise around with my dad in the spring now he's got his new scooter.

My Cornish mate likes Kawasaki GPZ's and will be a born again one day, maybe at 40, 45yrs old?

[CaNsA]

I've got a Jeremy Beadle sized handful of people I enjoy talking to, I would class them as friends.
I'm not sure if they know it, I have a feeling they think I take their friendship for granted when in actual fact I rely on it and it means alot to me.

Everyone else goes into the category of "people I know"

[chickenstrip]

[temeluchus]

I have no friends, only varying levels of contempt.

Just a few close ones - i get irritated by the 'noise' otherwise. Prefer a hardcore few who are happy to deal with / dish out insults with scant regard for taste, feelings or decency.
