What is your social status?

Post Reply New Topic

I have pratically 0 friends. Less then a handful of people that might ring me up once a year.

I'm married with a child, and have only a few close friends.

I have a boyfriend. His friends have become my acquaintances. I haven't had a RL friend since 1989 or 90.

I have no friends.

When I do, I scare them off...

I answered I have a few friends, but it is more like none. Furthermore I am also single.

I have no friends because I suck.

Same here.

none of the options valid for me: I have a fiancee, but no friends at all.

online friends and friends I left behind overseas, and boyfriend.

Blimey only two pages in and It reads like everyones slit their wrists

Even though ive been away from my home town for 5 years i still have quite a number of friends here. Being the autistic spazz that I am though I only really meet up with people every couple of weeks or so. Most of them have known me for 10+ years so they kinda just accept my oddities and respect that I have hermit like tendencies.

I guess I could have a more active social life if i wanted too but to be fair im just getting used to sharing a house again after having my own place for 5 years and thats taking some adjusting too.

So I like the pace of things at the moment.

none of the above. too few options.

I've a few friends and an almost completely satisfying relationship. Hmm, never thought I'd hear myself saying (or see myself typing) either of those.

Hey, you're right.

What I don't get- why does dating make you higher in status? That's too much of an on-going thing. Easy-come, easy-go.

the people who are able to arrange and/or partake of dates for themselves [at least those who are of reproductive age] demonstrate higher social functioning, for whatever that is worth, and aside from any other concerns. they are considered more desirable as dates and mates. such desirability is a status-sign in our culture, at least. in a darwinian sense, they are at a higher socially functional level than those who cannot partake in any mating behaviors, IOW the daters have well-adapted to the social whirl of the society in which they live, which allows them to attract mates [in the first place] pair-bond and [possibly] reproduce. but, for better or worse, i am not one of those select folk.

Very few friends and still single.

Where's the "no friends" option?
