"Falling in love comes at the cost of losing two close friends, a study says." So precise.

Did falling in love cost YOU two or more friends? Or, did it decimate your entire core group, only for your new core group to be replaced by your venerable paramour's friends?

So -that's- why I never have any friends. Thanks, science!

Falling in love costed me my friends, my family, my car, my freedom, my ability to buy anything I want, my career, and my identity...

No, but falling OUT of love (or at least realizing that I had and trying to realign my life with that fact) cost me that and more. Worth it though.

Falling in love cost me £2, for a double vodka and coke to ply her with. The moral of this story: go for the cheap women.

Did it also cost you a lifetime of medical bills and a deep awkwardness when STIs come up in conversation?

I'm only twenty and I always use a condom, so no, Bitter Bill.

I thought condoms didn't prevent HIV?

So what you're saying is that you still have time.

On the social networking site Facebook, for example, people will typically have 120-130 friends.


Wonder how they got that number. I can't think of anyone actively using facebook that has that few, even I have more. Whether they ever actually talk to those people is another thing...

Considering they said "realistically possible to engage" in the sentence before that, I expect they're only counting the ones you frequently interact with.

I just hit 30. wink.gif (Although this is after my friends nuked my profile. Yay for University.)

I go through and delete a bunch of my FaceBook friends periodically - or switch them to another group so they have less access to my profile.

Also, bros before hoes. I would never ditch my friends for anyone, and never let anyone control me.

^That!

I make sure that the girls I go out with mesh well with my friend group or they don't last long.
