row_33 Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Few men have friends they have blood and marriage relatives foisted on them and coworkers to socialize with if it is enjoyable or otherwise

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 You're posting on a message board for a football team that's been perennially mediocre for the better part of two decades, in July. You might find a few friendless people.

Keep giving people the finger and it will remain that way. like I said to your twin from another mother should we expect anything different ? "Bruthas from utha muthas" or as we like to refer to us in the barrio: "hermano de otra madre." ? 1
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 so this was a serious question? if I knew said person then that would just make me an acquaintance, right?
Royale with Cheese Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Honestly, I would say I only have about 5 friends. Everyone else I consider "hang out" people. I used to have a lot of friends when I was younger but over time....the hangout buds start slowly disappearing...especially when you have a kid and they don't. I think Seinfeld had it perfect. 3 friends and that's it. 1
teef Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 i certainly have fewer friends. i still keep in touch with a few very close friends from high school. there's a group of about 10 more that meet for dinner every few months, but no weekend hangs. after going away to college and grad school, many of my friends don't live in this area, so we tend to grow apart. like many others, i think i'm good with the limited number at this point in life.
The Jokeman Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 I have tons of friends, Facebook even keeps a running total for me. ?
Gray Beard Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 A timely topic. I’m retiring next week after 40 years on the job. I have many “friends” at work. They are friends because we see each other every day, we get along great, and we tell each other stories about our families and what we did on the weekends, etc. We almost never see each other outside of work. Everybody has their own lives, and it is highly unlikely that I will stay in touch with anybody from work other than the occasional lunch meetup. Outside of my grown kids and my wife, I really don’t enjoy the company of anybody I know of outside of work. My kids all have their own friends and significant others, so they won’t be excited about hearing from me too often. My son lives nearby, and he lets me buy him lunch about twice a month. My daughter and her family live about three hours away, and I see them about once a month. I’m a little concerned about social interaction after the novelty of reduced obligations wears off. Of course, I still have my imaginary internet friends!
Misterbluesky Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 My crew has thinned...too many deaths in the past few years. Late in HS..my dad pulled my curfew at the age of 17 (spring).My mother would say something like "He's failing spanish". I left in August for the service..now I know why my dad..a hard ass, gifted me the spring of ''82.
Gugny Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 I have my 30th HS reunion next week. Still not sure I'm going. I see my real friends as much as I want to. I don't want to pay money to pretend I missed people I haven't seen since 1989. 2
