Quality vs. Quantity

I prefer quality. I don't have too many friends, but the one true friend I have is a cpaital letter friend. I'd rather have only one, if that one really cares about me, to whom I can always turn when I have problems, who understands me, than thousands who I can only fool around and go to parties with, but I can't talk aboiut my feelings with them, because they don't care.

I agree with you that quality is better than quantity. I would rather have a few close and trusted friends than a ton of friends that I rarely talk to. It's that way for a lot of people on social media sites. It's crazy to see how many "friends" people have on there. I really respect and appreciate the friends that I have.

Thanks for sharing. A good friend is much better than 5000 so called superficial friends, but it is so difficult to get such friend, whom you can call a true friend in the real sense of the word.

I think that in everything, we should always choose quality over quantity. The quality of friends that we keep are surely those that can stick with us through thick and thin.

hi, of course i will always choose to have often friends but great when it comes to quality for being true as a friend rather than to have many and plenty friends but no one of them will be your good and true friends in time of your dark life.

For me, I choose to have some friends that are sincere and trusted ones. I know that those friends can be very boring too. But, I still prefer to have them around me. This is because I feel very secured when surrounded by them. No point I have let's say 50 friends for instance. They burn holes in your pocket (spend off your money), play a fool with you, talking crap and stay out late at night. True friends are hard to be found these days. If you got 1 or 2 of true friends, you are considered very lucky and you must appreciate them while they're still with you.

What is the use just to have or make friendship with many friends who are of no use or rather those friend who just want to be the friends but run away when we asked for their help or support or those who criticize us. I agree with you just to have some friends but only those who are good friends and who understand us plus ready to help us if and when we are in trouble

Think of the essence of having more friends. Think on how you can help them for the information, suggestions, and some guides that you could share with them. The point here, the more you help the better for you to grow. So this why we need to have more friends as possible. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need more clarification.

In the world today, it is so much better to have both quality and quantity when it comes to friends. You'll bee needing them all to go through life. Not having quality in friendships can really be good as no friends at all, and having no substantial quantity of friendships can be deemed as having limited friends too. So both is important. The problem of quality is that such good quality friends are hard to find nowadays, and the problem with quantity is that they get so much that you can't help losing their quality as time is too short to build on quality friend relations. Just really hard to get quality and quantity so my advise is to just consider everybody as a friend. That should how life be even though it will be risky if you come across not trustworthy people. But that is the ideal and the essential of living. Treat everyone as friends.

i have many friends, too, but only few of them are my real friends. I think its ok to have many friends so that you can get to choose the right set of friends to share dreams with. As for me, i have chosen my very best friend, and that is my wife because she never lets me down, even in times of troubles and defeat, she always there to raise my moral up.

quality for me is better than quantity, but it is much better if we have both as long as we can. facebook have a different definition of friends. some of what i call friends out there were my co players in a certain game, but they are okey, i can find no problem about those people, we have different friends for different needs and purposes.

Hi Val,thank you for the wonderful topic.Well,like the guidelines of mylot,mylot also wish us to post quality comments or response instead of keeping posting but in fact there is nothing of substance.So I prefer to having a few close friends who can share my feelings with them freely.I do meet people who have many many friends,but when he gets trapped into trouble or needs help,no one can give him a hand.

I prefer few but trusted. Sometimes people also called me as loner for I have few friends. Well, I just want to be myself. Many friends of mine are back fighter that's why I don't have much time to spend with them. I have lots of friend but only few are called to be true.
