Why the average American hasn’t made a new friend in 5 years
Forty-five percent of adults say they find it difficult to make new friends, according to new research.
A new study into the social dynamics of 2,000 Americans revealed that the average American hasn’t made a new friend in five years.
In fact, it seems for many that popularity hits its peak at age 23, and for 36 percent, it peaks even before age 21.
The study, conducted by OnePoll in conjunction with Evite, uncovered that one of the reasons 42 percent of adults struggle to make friends is due to introversion or shyness (((pussifacation and cuckdom))).
And the challenge is not just in breaking out of their shell but also breaking into new social situations and circles.
The majority of respondents cite friendship-making barriers that include aversion to the bar scene where most people choose to socialize, or the feeling that everyone’s friendship groups have already formed.
And how many friends do adults actually have? Turns out, 16. The average American has three friends for life, five people they really like and would hang out with one-on-one, and eight people they like but don’t spend time with one-on-one or seek out.
Most people have remained close with friends they met when they were younger. Nearly half of those surveyed have stayed friends with peers from high school, and a further 31 percent with peers from college.
Kicking it even more old-school, three in 10 Americans say they have made lasting connections with people they met in their childhood neighborhood.
However, 82 percent of those studied feel like lasting friendships are hard to find. The number one cause of lost friendships is moving away, with 63 percent revealing this to be a reason they’ve fallen out of touch with a former friend.

never tell (((friends))) you own guns, ever. Don't show them, don't let them be seen

This is not limited to guns. Don't tell team that you know computers, have spare parts, a stash of anything (fuel, carbs, drugs) and that you know or even see regularly important people.

What about the Chinese hookers living in my basement?

In general, you should keep as much of your wealth and status as possible hidden from people. There's a bit of truth to those oft-cited aphorisms of Warren Buffett living in the same mobile home he's lived in since 1959 or Bill Gates wearing the same $30 polos. The last thing you want when you're looking for a genuine friend is a bastard who will stab you in the back; the last thing you want when looking for a wife is a gold digger like pic related.

How is she a gold digger? She broke up with him because he seemed like a loser. Her goal was to getting married and have children, while maintaining financial security and she felt the year she was spending with him became wasteful. He didn't work or seemingly want to get married. Of course, this could be a whole miscommunication issue but she was working under false pretences so how could she have known he wasn't a deadbeat?

He took it way too far. He's got a problem spending money at all, obviously, even just for himself on his own time. I wouldn't marry a woman who was a paranoid skinflint. So I can't blame a girl who just wants to be solvent enough as a couple to own a home and have children not wanting to continue with an asshole like that. She did the right thing dumping him. It's actually a pity that there aren't more women out there who use their brains as well as their vaginas to make serious decisions about their lives. I dunno if this is just Reddit made-up bullshit or not and I don't care, but if she is real, I hope she finds a good guy and has a happy family with him like all decent white women ought to be doing.

Bahahaha that plebbit post always makes me laugh. Perfect example of a woman destroying herself because she’s been convinced contention is juvenile and endless seeking is the quality of an adult. Hearty kek everytime I read that. You destroyed it all by yourself sweetie!

Lol, not quite a mobile home, did you just assume that because it's in Nebraska?

I recently went on a trip to wine country with a couple other couples. At one point in the car ride, the two wives started talking about how uncomfortable they were with letting their children go to homes with guns.... a little shocked but the stupidity of it, I kept my mouth shut in order to avoid questions.
Thinking back now, however, I think I missed an opportunity to challenge them with anecdotes of gun safety being taught in school just decades ago... that’s lack of education makes guns much more dangerous than guns themselves. Still, though, drama on a couples’ weekend away.... oh well ....

Or that you own precious metals xD
People are selfobsessed cunts these days. Also wage slaves. Also on drugs. Join a gym, some sort of club. Healthy shit. Get some fresh air and stop being a pussy.
