    Zero, zip, zilch, nada, none. I am accountable only to myself and I like it that way.

    I have a "friend" who has over 400. Now does that make sense to anyone????

    Not sure what's the benchmark but who are active are the ones that count. I regularly take our friends who are no more active on MFP, so I can add new ones who can encourage me and vice versa.

    I always have about 75...I generally delete 3-5 per week because they bore me or I offend them. Then I say soemthing stupid in the forums which attracks crazy people...then I deny 18 FR and add 2-3 and if they are my kind of crazy I let them stay.

    You are one of my forum heros.

    I have a dozen or so. I delete inactive as well. Except for my wife because I know why she's inactive. :grumble: :laugh:

    As someone who has over 900... what about it doesn't make sense? I didn't set out to have that many friends, but I've been active on here a long time, so... Meh. It happens.

    I'm closer to some friends than others, sure, but who says you have to be close to everyone on your list? If I get something out of following their posts & activity, or they get something out of following mine, isn't that enough?

    You just can't win on here. If you deny FRs, you're a b-word. If you accept them, you're a friend collector. If you delete people, you're mean. If you comment on people's diaries, you're butting in. If you don't, you're unsupportive. Personally, I don't plan on being anyone's nanny and checking their food diaries like they're turning in a homework assignment.

    I try to comment on a LOT of my friends progress. I have over 200 friends now, but I am active every day and I will do whatever I can to support those people, even if they don't support me in kind. If I'm deleted, I'll deal with it eventually. I'd love to get to know some of my friends better, but that will just come with time and added dedication. =)

    You really can't. People have assumed things about me because of my near 300. If you don't accept them you're a jerk. Cut them and you're a monster. Accept them all and.. well you get it.

    It's my list. I love my island of misfit toys. Anyone who has a problem with it.. well I really don't care.

    This, this, and this.

    I have almost 300 friends now. I usually don't add anyone. I get a lot of friend requests and I generally accept all of them unless it's someone with a blank profile/picture or someone with an ED.
    I have a group that I interact with a lot and the others are just there. It doesn't bother me. I can't keep up with everyone but I make sure to keep up with the ones that I connect with/like the most. Every so often, I'll go through and delete people who have deactivated or haven't logged in for a long time.

    imo (and just IMO) I think anyone who has over 150 is really not being interactive. Thats just me. For me in the 70-75 range is enought to keep me busy and interactive. I prefer not to HIDE anyone. Those of you with over 150-200 I would have to guess you are hiding a ton of ppl.

    NOt that there is anything wrong with that, its just not my deal.

    I never go pass 45-50.....I either get deleted for my dirty mouth or I delete people for not having a sense of humor or just being boring...

    I have 153, goes up and down.
    I enjoy my friends we interact.

    I like my sarcastic, humorous bunch of rowdy folks.
    Laughing gets us through this, at least for me it does.
    Oh and it's working.

    Over 200, don't have any hidden, and try to comment on almost everybody's posts during the day. So hard luck, you guessed wrong.

    I have 60ish...but I honestly don't care how high the number gets. If people can put up with my crap, they're generally keepers.
