Types of friends....

[Nando]

Most of you hang out with people because you like them, but some keep "friends" around just to use them for what they are good at. Ofcorse, you best friend could be good with style, so you always ask him for advise.
As for myself, I have a friend that always knows where parties are, and offeres to take me, so I go. But he is one of my good friends since forever.

I do just talk to some kids at school to make the day go faster, and generally talk about games, and random shit.

People might use me for laughter, Vid-games help, spanish, and fights.


What about you guys?
----- This isn't about using people, yeah, might have come off like it, but it's not. Just people that you know that are good at shit that you might ""use"them for from time to time

[Demon Dash]

I've stuck by my best friend because he was there for me when I was going through rough times. I always say, if they don't bother with me, why should I bother with them. I have a habbit of making sudden tough decisions in my life, one of them being ditching friends. I've become tired of having negative influences in my life, so no matter how hard it might be it's my priority to make my life posative.

[Biolink]

My "Keep"friend shares/shared most of my interests.Mainly playing videogames.

He has changed alot since Highschool.He used to play Yu-Gi-Oh and games hardcore,but now he is in a gang,has several weapons,and sells weed moderately.

The best thing about him is that he doesen't take the gang life too seriously though(Unlike almost all gang members)so it never really is a problem hanging out with him.Doesn't cause trouble or anything.Just more of a product of his enviroment.He does stupid shit sometimes,but he's a great guy.I guess a "Bad"Good person.If I ever have trouble or anybody,him and his little crew are there to help me out so it balances out from my point of view.

i transferred to a new high school this year, and I have only met one real friend in school so far. we connect mostly on our senses of humor/and we both like games and music from a creative standpoint. but the types of music we like couldn't be more different (I like jazz/house/hip hop, he likes metal/acoustic etc) and we hang out with 2 completely different groups of people too.

i have tons of acquaintances and am generally well-liked but i basically just use the other people for parties/alcohol etc. lol.

[CoMpOuNd]

My friends smoke weed, breakdance, and play street fighter. Also I've known them my whole life so we're like brothers... half black / gypsy / native indian brothers :tup:

[Dasiatic]

well my friends also smoke weed. some of my friends dropped out of HS. they also drive fucked up lookin cars but still get pussy like it's nothing. I never got that.
I thought you have to atleast get a decsent looking drive, but...eh.
anyway, REAL friends pass that shit after they took thier weed session. nothing says "not a true friend" more than a stingy muthafucka hogging all the weed.
oh yeah, and a REAL friend would share the girl to you after he had his way with her.

and dont you hate the kind of friends that you speak to for a little bit, then next time you see them, you say hi(or give them a nod) but dont return it?
There have been times where a few ppl i see almost on a daily basis, but they dont even say hi or nothing when i see them.

I remember back then where i had these moments when i see a friend from a few yards away, they pretend to not even notice me as im approaching them. then as i get closer, we both engage into this psyche game where we both wonder who'll say hi first.

ungrateful little, uncool losers.
you know what? fuck all of them. I'm the man.
I spill kool-aid on them bitches.

oh yeah, and compound, i used to breakdance but.....man i need to get back into that shit. its been a while. the best i can do is that fuckin...uh....whats it called? the flare?

[CoMpOuNd]

well my friends also smoke weed. some of my friends dropped out of HS. they also drive fucked up lookin cars but still get pussy like it's nothing. I never got that.


You never got pussy? oh man... you must be :sweat::sad: 24/7

EDIT: I'm just messin with you.. lol I just saw that and found it funny... you used to be able to do a flare? You know thats bassicly gymnastics if thats all you could do.. but still props on that, get back into it, it's gonna get bigger real soon!

[Dasiatic]

You never got pussy? oh man... you must be :sweat::sad: 24/7

LOL no!!!!!
its not like that!!!!
i get mines. slow down.
I be gettin it. and when i say it, i mean "IIIIT!!!!" *thrusts his fist foward*

[platinum_pinoy]

I've:

The drinking friends - friends who you have fun with by getting wasted

Video game/nerd friends - Friends who are mad smart and play shitload of video games. I hang out with them the most because they are the most interesting

School/work friends - Friends who you made with through a class/job, but don't really hang out with outside the university/workplace premises

Long time friends - Friends who you can hang out with even though you haven't seen them for a long time. This is probably the "best friends" category

[Nightwing1990]

My friends are laid back cool nigz, we fuck around alot and they smoke weed, but i dont smoke with them, we all chill at the park, you can say thats our little hangout, but now since they are breaking down the park (when i say they i mean buissness men) we seem to be breaking upart and we see less of each other everyday un less its school. Damn buisness men how can they breakdown a park and make it into a buisness to make money wtf

[Ragetowersrage]

I'm the crazy guy...Every group needs a crazy guy...

[L.one H.iryu S.aga]

I'm always used specifically for humor and advice/psuedo-shrink purposes in just about any social circle.

[Jr7891]

I am friends with lots of people, but only really hang with 5 of them (in real life) and 6 people online (primarily on xbox live).

I hate idiots in general, and I now barely let people come over (See my thread about a friend jacking off on my computer.)

However, I am never against going to someones else's house.

I am not a user at all. If anything people use me. But only for small shit like lending someone money for lunch/dinner, helping with homework, giving them a ride, fixing and modifying computers, consoles, arcade sticks, etc.

[JackTenrac!]

About not having any friends: I don't think I have any either. People call me up and claim they are my friends (not very often though), and people talk to me pretty much whenever they see me, but I don't think that makes them my friends. People come and go, and 99% of the time they only care about themselves anyway. They won't make any effort to genuinely help you out or spend time with you, especially the older you get. A lot of people can claim they have friends, but in a tight spot, you will learn that you really don't have anyone. I prefer to keep good relations with my close relatives, and if you're lucky you probably have the same thing in them. Put your trust in them, and simply think of everyone else as an acquaintance. If you've ever played Metal Gear Solid, pretty much everything Snake says is the truth. Except instead of battlefield, take that to mean life, and when he is asked about his friends, pay careful attention to what he says, and Meryl's response. When you take all the drama and airs people put up around themselves, the things they tell themselves, and you just strip it all away, that is what you really have left. The only person I ever really ask anything from is Viscant, and rarely. He is a really good guy honestly, but I'm not sure if we really consider each other "friends" either.




^ Serpent's definition is too good.

As for me, I hang in different circles because I like being a bounty hunter type person. No one group satisfies me, so I vary:

- fighting-wise: I keep a group there. I'm the youngest male in it and I knew two of these guys for seven years. They have a nomadic presence in my life, so I don't bother calling them "friends". Just people I chill with. They help me progress with my skill and provide a good laugh from time to time. Because of their pussy responsibilities, chilling doesn't happen as much.

- 1st college-wise: me and two or so others. Because of the business that I am in, enhancement is a must, and some of them exceed my abilities. Also, they could provide gigs, advice, and a good time. Networking is key.

- 2nd college-wise: strictly business, so I ask for advice as well. Again, most of them surpass my skill, so yeah.

Guess all I care about is being stronger, so my circles revolve around that. Before I moved to another town, I had a strong group of friends. After I left, I received no phonecalls and had to tough it out on my own, backstabbed by an ex also. I had to make contact, which was piss poor. Thus coming to this conclusion: People come into my life to entertain me, but they don't count as friends.

If I die today, I would suspect that only a handful of them of them would actually bother showing face at my funeral.

...that went well.

[Nando]

Now that I think about it, I kinda don't really have any bestfriends...
The only best one I've had was my GF, but I broke up with her, sadly. Thats another story.
-I always end up getting fucked over by people....


AND I broke my 360 controller........... so My 360 friends might not see me for some hours....

[Manx]

My friends cycle about every 3 to 5 years and it sucks. Something always happens so we lose contact. I think I only have 1 real friend I've known my entire life and he is a very annoying person that I don't like to be around for extended periods of time. That nigga's always there for me, though.

[supaman]

I've:

Long time friends - Friends who you can hang out with even though you haven't seen them for a long time. This is probably the "best friends" category

ain't that the truth, this past summer I contacted one of my boys i haven't seen in 7 years and we are still mad cool and talk like time hasn't gone by

[xero15]

i got my boys- the ones i can chill wit and do everything with from clubbin, to chillin, to mackin on girls, to getting drunk wit, and talkin to when i need advice.

the i got my arcade people- talk about video games, go to different restaurants to eat (mostly breakfast), have fun wit while yellin at each other "Money Match or No Go" the crazy types lol

my lady friends/ friends wit benefits- women that keep me in the friend zone when they need advice on whatever their situations are or need a good fuck they can still talk to afterwards like nothin happened.

friends at work- just talk to them at work to make the day easier.

[ShinAkumax]

I don't classify my friends.

I don't agree with Serp's definition of friendship. That's just the simple easy way to look at things. I believe in friendship and I believe in people not being complete dicks because I'm not a complete dick.

( Xero - I just made a general statement. It was directed to you specifically. )

[xero15]

its not really classifying them just basically what you do best with each group of friends. essentially they are all still friends and they are all welcome to do the same things as the others except males trying to be my friends wit benefits thats gay and im NO HOMO

[Nescu69]

I'm always been used specifically for humor and advice/psuedo-shrink purposes in just about any social circle.

So basically you're gay?

Anyway, Serpent is def very very right. One of the most brutal things in life is knowing someone that finally clues in as to who their real friends are. Basically, ppl will act fake and put up a front 99% of the time infront of you, and that's who you THINK you know. Very rarely do you see the real person. That basically translates into: very few ppl have TRUE friends (read: friends that would go through a shit situation to help you, with no reward in return). Sooo, just something to think about. If you THINK you have tons of good friends, or even if you have a few good friends, you're most likely wrong. The only true "friends" you can have is a good family.

[Grits'N'Gravy]

I don't really try to make friends now because I'm leaving USF. I agree mostly with Serpent and the sentiment that most "friends" can be ditched. These days I am more concerned w/ my gf than my stupid HS friends... so I never see those kids anymore cause they didn't grow up. I guess my best friends play street fighter and that's ok w/ me, I don't think I could really be friends with somebody who has no competitive drive.

[MrBlank]

My good friends. i can never get rid of. We are like all brothers and i havent gotten rid of a single one and we all get faded together, hit up partys, go on trips and shit like that.

even though alot of them got into relationships they never forget to come to a birthday for one of the homies and always get your back for any sorta bind you came up in.

I dont think i agree with Serpents 99%, cause well alot of that info applys alot to the anti social person in general. NO offense serpent im not trying to badmouth you.

i believe that you will always have your true friends when you find them. Some people may never find their true friends or even fail to make true friends because it might be because they never open up enough for them to let other people share themselfs in return.

Ive been in fights with these guys who have had my back since day one, and ive had friends fight some fights on my behalf when i couldnt do anything. Ive been bailed out of so much shit cause of these guys that i know that they are truly good friends and i still see it till this day.

[Dasiatic]

You never got pussy? oh man... you must be :sweat::sad: 24/7

EDIT: I'm just messin with you.. lol I just saw that and found it funny... you used to be able to do a flare? You know thats bassicly gymnastics if thats all you could do.. but still props on that, get back into it, it's gonna get bigger real soon!

yeah, thats all i can do.
i tried to do the windmill once...thats what it was called right? i mean...you would go on your hands, with your legs just out there, spinning and shit. its not like the flare though, because your kinda upside down on your hands, spinning.

Yeah, so i tried that shit. never went well. but yeah, thats all i can do. maybe the simpler shit i can do, but ive never done them. only the above 2.

i remember one time i had to sneak and snatch this piece of cartboard from a nearby gas station so we can dance.


just like Ragetowersrage, im the crazy-ass of the group that either embaresses other people, or makes everyone laugh.

[Seta]

Definitely agree with Serpent's comments. Good find Bear Ryoma. There's maybe three people I can count on being my friend for the rest of my life. I hang out with them 99% of the time at home. There are always people I chill with at school or talk to and even though some of us may seem close, I just can't see us being together in the future. True friends are honestly hard to find and always deeper than just compatibility.

[UncleBuck]

My best friends and I have nothing in common. We just clicked. We got each others back no matter the situation. We may go months without hanging out but it seems like just a day once we do.
