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.

Am tall, athletic, attractive enough…but most importantly, I have a good personality. I'm empathetic, funny, and enjoyable to talk to. Any of you fucking dorks would be stoked if I was your friend.
If people like having you around, it's easy to have friends.
Most of you guys have shit hygiene, myopic interests, and poor social skills. No one wants people like that around. The problem is you, not society.
I'm currently deciding which of the 4 BBQs I've been invited to today I want to go to.
Step your shit up, nerds
(unless you have autism, in which case I understand it's hard and I empathize with you)

You get the halo effect, nice. But your head is too far up your own ass to realize that is the exception.

Let me guess. You're gonna drink beer and watch sports together and make small talk that doesn't matter in your ultimately powerless existence.
Yeah, sounds like a great life to be envious of.

100%. He's hanging out with normies. Our problem is: normies are unrewarding to be around. They're basically NPCs who hate white people and any conversation past the weather or sportsball is too much for them. Fuck, I'd rather be alone than do that. At least if I'm alone I don't have to waste my time by talking about nothing at all.
