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.

thats all women, you have to just face it. Unless youre tall, or really good looking, or rich, women arent going to care about you. even those 3 things only go but so far. I finally came to terms with this after a bunch of failed relationships, thinking the women were "gold diggers". Thats just a regular woman and I was too stupid to realize it. I need to just find a poor white woman that thinks its impressive if I own a house and have a regular job. at the same time, hide wealth no matter what. have a secret stash of cash like someone that has lived though the depression. I suspect horsing cash will be criminalized, and eventually having cash at all will be a criminal act in less than 20 years.

Your're just projecting your own mindset onto what you imagine women think. The reality is that women have totally different evaluation mechanisms than men.
