Facebook friend attrition (keacher.com)

Unfortunately "friends" have become synonymous with "one-time acquaintances".

I won't add someone as a friend unless I have known them for at least 3 months.

I also don't feel bad if someone unfriends me, because that means they weren't my friend. I don't need some artificial number to feel good about myself.

A few real good friends > several hundred people posting on facebook about some stupid "let's get wasted" party or posting new "cellphone" self-portraits.

Quality over Quantity IMO.


These are not your friends.
