Does the more facebook friends you have give you a higher social status?

[Always D]

I never thought of myself of a "loser" persay, but I don't seem to have as many friends as everyone else on facebook. I guess I'm a loner. Does this mean I am not as cool as the gorgeous girls with 1000+ friends? Be honest.

[sharpie marker]

No.
It just means they happen to know more people than you. Or who knows, maybe they just request a bunch of people to be their friend or random people request them and they accept just to "look" popular.
It doesn't really matter how many friends you have on facebook. Does it really matter?

No, I always find the people with the most friends on facebook have the least friends IRL. Because people who are less popular feel like they have to PROVE that they are popular, they add people they aren't actually friends with. That way it looks like they have more friends. On the other hand, most people who actually have friends do not have to add everyone in their class, or everyone who attends their university. So kudos to you for being selective, because it's a true sign of having class.

God no!

I think people that have 356 'friends' are fake and really have a self esteem problem. There is no way anybody can make time to foster friendships with 356 people. I mean, if at the end of your life you can count your true friends on one hand, you are a lucky man. If you have more than that, there's something wrong. Out of 356 people, only 5 or so would be people you consider to be your true friends....so what does that say about 'friend freaks'?

That girl with 1000 'friends' is a sad sorry case. You're far from a loser, more like you live in REALITY - some people just do not.

And....just to add...facebook is not really that cool anymore. It's getting old (at least in my social crowd) - it was cool but now it's just a bit lame. You're fine! Hope this helps

Absolutely not. In my opinion, those individuals with 500+ friends who are STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL are obnoxious and cloying in real life. I don't even think I know 150 people

"Some of my most social and networked friends have the lamest myspace or facebook accts. Cuz they are 1) Too busy to maintain it 2) Could care less about posting pictures up 3) So bad at responding via social networks people have given up leaving them comments 4) They could honestly care less in general."

I didnt want to make one, but made it if ppl want to msg me cus they cant txt. Real life is all that matters, funny internet sh*t will not substitute the real thing.
