I will define a close friend as someone who you would invite round to your place, and someone you could ask to hang out with at theirs without there being an issue. Online friends and people who you already live with don't count (unless you were friends before).

Bonus questions (feel free to answer if you want)
2) Are you happy with the amount of friends you have, if not how many would you want?

  1. Did you have close friends that you fell out of touch with, and why?

  2. How much free time you have and how you typically spend it?

  3. Do you think there is a correlation between having friends and being successful in finding women who are attracted to you?

I look forward to your responses and I hope we can keep it civil. Please don't attack anyone sharing their answers, this isn't intended to be a debate but an enquiry. Also, don't open yourself up to attack by blaming your situation on others, we can get into that at another point in time.
Thanks
