Besides these techniques? Time.

Friendship happens when you continuously bump into each other. Think it as a chemical reaction between molecules. Clubs and hobbies are good starter.

Since discovering the red pill I have been more careful about making friends.

Give-and-take. A friendship is about give and take. If a person keeps taking without giving, don't think a friendship will change them.
Gossip. A friend that engages in gossip is a waste of time. Sooner or later he is going to talk shit about you. And if a guy likes gossip he might be after more than your friendship.
Set a time limit. I tend to keep people on the acquaintance level for a while before considering them a friend. Get to know them, their bullshit. People tend to exploit you more once they think you consider them a friend.
Stick with a few friends. Unlike Facebook, you don't need 467 friends. Depending on your personality type, stick with the least amount that you are comfortable with, anymore than that becomes a drain on you and more importantly your time.
