In real life I only have a few friends. Most of them have PhDs, masters degrees or are at least University graduates with promising careers. Most of them are highly intelligent, knowledgeable, mature, responsible and have steady girlfriends. I on the other hand am immature, depressed, poor and single. I dropped out of University after a few months and now I work as a bread delivery man. I sleep around and volunteer none of my time to benefiting the greater good. While I consider myself slightly intelligent I don't really know a lot about anything. I'm not really quite sure it is possible how I have friends like mine except that I am a bit of a character and I have a mind of my own. What about you?
well i don't know what kind of people i attract. but i tend to befriend weird people, with mental troubles. i feel most comfortable around people like this.
My friends are artists that have shit jobs just to pay the rent. We are all a bit crazy, we speak our minds, and we are brutally honest about everything. Umm we all quit school and we all have plans to go back. It's kind of weird how similar we are and yet how different. Two of them are married and have kids...well one is pregnant so she is about to have a kid. We all have our different interests, but art seems to tie us together. We all like different artists and argue over who is the best...from the masters to ourselves.
Actuually me too....potheads seems to be the other group I attract besides geniuses. Its funny because I hate smoking weed.
My closest friends are academically and/or career-wise ambitious... and I'm generally surrounded by this kind. Easier to relate, feel more comfortable around them, and we usually have a similar sense of humor. I have a diverse crowd of friends in terms of ethnicity/belief, though, now that I'm in college. (except for some reason, never really with an atheist. I don't have a problem with their beliefs, but the ones I've come across have been the hostile type) Those who aren't as driven are intrigued by me, I guess. For some reason, either I don't look like I'd be the smart type or it's just genuine interest in difference.
in real life most of the people I hang out with are dirty old men, or dirty old women, or people on their way to either category, with interesting skills.
Most of my friends are the "New Rich". Meaning they earned their wealth by themselves and did not inherit it. Almost all of them are expatriates. They also tend to be adrenaline junkies. It is not that I am opposed to having friends who have regular jobs, it is just that most people do not have access to get to where I am. Most expatriates have a style of life that causes them to hang out with other expatriates. It just happens that way.
That just about sums up my friends too. Nagh, to be fair to them...most of my "close" friends I have known from school...so I forget why we all became friends. I think it was a love of alcohol and good times. Nothing more deep than that.
Everyone. Seriously, everyone loves me from the get-go. Especially parents of friends. Older people. Pot heads who arent burnouts. People with passions and goals. People with attainable dreams who are willing to help out in times of need and deserve the same in return. I have very few people in my life, and Im fine with that.
What I meant was I fix things....and it seems like people only call when they need me to fix their stuff...I am quite an ass IRL though...so I kind of understand it
geeks, drug users, and weirdos, with some exceptions of course. also, women. most of my close friends, both currently and historically, have been female.
Nerds. Flukes, friends who go to protests, are pagans and activists and small town folks. I attract those types. But my solid friendships are quiet girls who usually bookish or like doing very artsy or crafty hobbies and such.
I feel like everyone should have one good, stick with you through anything friend who is a bit irresponsible, and, you know, the guy you can call in the middle of the night to help you dump a body, or drive a car into a canal, something like that.
i attract laid back people. people who roll with the punches. a good amount of my close friends are people who are very smart, who are ambitious with careers and school, and all want to help out when they can. we can also be massholes.
Wild, man people. Lots of musicians for some reason, drunks, heathens, girls of all kinds, assholes with character, and people who dislike people as much as I do.
