I was wondering how many people like to keep a small list for various reasons, as I do. Personally I like to keep track and communicate with as many as I can, I used to have a big list and could not keep up and was not supporting or communicating with some of them so I cut back to a manageable group. Or do you like a bunch of friends for your various reasons?
I ask because I saw something just a bit ago that I felt was a poor reason to tell someone to deny a friend request.
On a friends status post recently, they asked if any one was friends with the user requesting friendship.....a response was " I looked at their profile...they have like, 70 friends, obviously something is wrong with them to have next to no friends" While I realize this is someones personal opinion, I felt it to be very judgemental. Some people really just like to have a few friends, and some people like to have a bunch, it's a choice. Also new people have to start somewhere....it's not like you start off with 100 and go from there.

That's a pretty lame assumption for that person to make. There must be something wrong with me then too because I have somewhere around 70 friends
I LIKE the size of my list. I'd rather get a FR from someone with a smaller number than someone who already has 300+ friends.

For guys, it's always about size0

Totally agree! I keep my list small so that I can interact with everyone. It's not a highschool popularity contest for me. I don't want to be "collected".0 -

And there are some "collectors". I am happy being uncollectected.0 -
I just joined last week and I only have 5 friends. I'm super self-conscious and I've always been wary of adding people because I'm worried they won't want me on. That's why I don't have many friends. People can judge me all the want :oP0

I like to keep my friends list managable. But if I see someone interesting..I do shoot them a FR. I do, however, have a tough time rejecting FRs and making cuts.0

Oh, and I think it's good to have friends you have similar goals with and stuff in common with too

I tried to keep it to 50, then 75, then 100... Then I said I will only have as many friends as my 5RM squat. But I've gone beyond that as well. I WANT to keep a small friends list, but I can't help myself sometimes. To many awesome people here.0

I go with "Quality" over "Quantity" with my friends list0
-
I keep mine small too (for the same reasons) - I try to interact/support each as much as possible. Fortunately, I know my limits and have been able to do that so far on an individual level instead of mass "Way to go, everyone" posts0

one of the reasons i love you. xo0 -
My friend list is not too large, but I edit it every couple of weeks. I personally dont mind it being rather large. Not everyone talks everyday so its managable. I also like to go out into into land and make new ones every once in a while. I look for people who have had no responses and friend them.0

I keep as many as I can personally keep up with...
But don't ask to see my Q system.0 -
I keep my friends list small. I like it that way. There are some wonderful people on here who I would love to add, but I need to keep my FL small so I can interact with everyone and actually KNOW them.0

WoW, 70 is a small amount of friends? I must be really lame, cause I just reached 70 and I've been here for 3 years... Oh well, I'm more of a Loner anyway. :happy:0

I keep it small. Sometimes I'll add people and they're not active on anything. They get cut soon enough. I have a fairly small list and like to keep it that way. I'm funny on the boards but, with PMs I'm helpful and mostly serious.0

I only have awesome people on my list. How big that is is dictated by the level of awesome-sauce.0
