An
MSN Messenger study of the friendship patterns of 10,000
persons among the UK
population cites some interesting statistics:
- Brits collect an average of 396 friends each over their
lifetime.
- People wind up staying in touch with about 1 out of 12 of the friends
they make.
- The average number of friends they maintain is 33.
- Only a
fifth of the keepers are close friends.
- Ironically, people spend more time with social friends than
close friends.
- Women see their social friends every 3.5 days while they see
their close friends only six times a year.
- Two-thirds of those surveyed call the attrition of friends
one of their “biggest regrets in life”
