Quantity - I like to have more then one option at any time. There will always be those special few people that are pure quality though.
Quality. I've never been the type to surround myself with people. I'd rather have a friend I actually trust and love than a bunch of fake friends.
I choose quality. I've never really had quantity. Most of my friends also lacks quality (which has been my fault mostly), but I definitely appreciate and cherish the few good friends I do have, although it may not always be apparent. xD
For myself, I'm not the most popular person. But to be honest, I have both quality and quantity. There is my core group of friends, my best guy-friend and my best girl-friend as well as the few lesser, best friends; I consider these great people as my quality friends. Then I have my quantity friends. Even though I am not the most popular guy, I do have a lot of semi-friends and acquaintances. And of this large amount, I can get along with them quite well. I think of myself as in the middle of popularity, great core friends, large amount of semi-friends. I also have a few friends that are considered the "populars" in my grade, with this I have an "in" to the "in" crowd. To finish I want to add how thankful I am for having great friends.
like a few others, i'd rather have a mix. i don't want a literal ton of friends that i really don't have a lot to do with, but i don't only want a small close group that i'm always with either.
Quality i guess. Those few friends who know you inside out. I think the problem with having lots of friends is that there is the danger of spreading yourself too thinly and so you dont get to know anybody well at all. For example, there is one girl at uni who tries to be everyones friend and and actually ends up alientating herself as she doesnt have any close friends that she is able to have those quality moments with.
Needs to be a balance, Quality is important, but sometimes it's nice to have a crowd to head out on the town with... but if I had to chose between a couple of quality friends and a crowd of, for what of a better word, shallow friends, I'd take 2 quality friends every time.
This sums me up quite well. I really can't handle having lots of friends; I just can't keep up with them all, and I'm not really a "people person". I prefer to have a handful of really good friends.
Quality, I was fine with the 3-4 really great friends I had in high school. I had a few other friends who were awesome too But for the most part, I kept my friends in a small group, otherwise I have issues figuring out who is actually my friend
Quality for me. I prefer a friend who will be there for me, and who is really a true friend over just someone I hang with.
Quality. I prefer one on one friendships. Not a fan of crowds or hanging out with people just to be hanging out.
