The statistics of friendship...
150 - the average number of casual friends we have
15 - the average number of meaningful friends we have
5 - the average number of close friends we have
45 - the average number of hours to move from an acquaintance to friend
50 - the average number of hours to move from casual friend to meaningful friend
100 - the average number of hours to move from meaningful friend to the inner circle of being a close friend
8.5 - the average number of hours in a month we devote to the people in our inner circle of close friends
2 - the average number of hours in a month we devote to our meaningful friends
20 - the number of minutes in a month we devote to everyone else
How does this fit with your experience? And do you know someone who practices "aggressive friendship"?
