Yesterday’s question on the Facebook daily poll asked
respondents, How many best friends do you have? The most frequent response
given by 1000 Facebook members of both sexes was 2-3 friends.
Women were about half as likely as men to have no friends;
More likely than men to have just one friend; and
Almost half as likely as men to
have 10 or more friends
The quick and dirty findings may support the notion that women
favor a more intimate circle of friends. How many best friends do you have?
