How many real friends you got?

Just a few if the definition for a friend is someone to call for a pint on a short notice(say,tonight). Even then though, I still wouldnt exactly call those people friends(in the sense of being really close or relying to one another in need).
 
i have 3
my wife, my best make jase, and my bro
i have lots of friends but them 3 i can trust them with my life :p
 
I have less close friends that now live away from me, and then those I still see regularly. I have 20+ I see a few times a year or meet in groups and then 10 or so I see a lot and about 4 very good ones.

Also people at work who are friends but I see them so often I can't be bothered seeing them at home, some do socialise outside work but I don't live near them and would rather keep it seperate.

and an annoying brother who is in the same group.
 
No one will have more than 6-8 true, "real" friends. If they claim to then I'm inclined to say that they have no true friends at all :(
 
Depends how you define a true friend, for people I could and would randomly go out for a pint with - lots, for people who I'd call in an emergency - maybe 6 or 7 maximum. I don't find that to be depressing, it's just a case of knowing and appreciating the people who are important to you.
 
about 30 people who I consider 'friends', as in slightly more than an aquaintance.

Only really 3 people who I consider close friends, and I never see them anymore. It does suck from time to time, but I survive. I'm fairly tough emotionally, and don't need constant contact with close friends in order to 'function'.. I know there are some people who feel bored or lost after a few days without their mates.

Part of the whole rarely-seeing-my-friends thing comes from me being naturally introverted - I prefer my own company or the company of a close mate or two whilst chilling out, rather than going to pubs/clubs.

I put it down to growing up. Quite a few of my friends I met in college act like they are still at college.. 4 years on! I just don't relate to that.
 
This is quite pertinent to me, as until recently i didnt class myself as having any proper friends. I get on well with the people i work with but there are 3 guys back where i grew up who have been unbelievable since i split up with the wife, one of them especially so. Hadn't seen them for years beforehand but without them i'd probably be going mad by now.
 
hmm, id say about 7 friends i know in my life that i deeply care about and i know they care for me.

The others come and go or are just there for convenience.
 
Only college(from when I was there), uni and work mates. There's a few other people outside my occupations that I seen once in a blue moon though.

So, proper "friend"? I'd say 1. My other half. :)

Don't tell her that. ;)
