i definitely have more friends than FI. not that i have a TON of friends, but i think being a girl, it's easier to stay "in touch" vs. being a guy and having a lot of friends who've moved away etc.
FI has his BEST FRIEND from childhood nearby. which is nice since my best friend lives in chicago five hours away... but i also have old work friends, church friends, "korean" friends, most of the friends that i have kept throughout the years are like brothers/sisters to me. whereas, for FI he had a lot of "acquaintance" friends from being in a frat and knew a lot of ppl, but never made deep relationships with any of them.
it works out either way, his friends (the ones that do exist :P) are my friends and my friends are his :)
I think we have an equal number of friends but he tends not to socialize very often b/c he works so much. He has a few friends that he has made in the past 5 or so years, but most have been his friends for 20 years or more...they grew up together. As for me...I have known all of my friends for at least 7 years or so.
I don't think it matters that much b/c we both tend to socialize with our friends as a group. So if he goes out...it won't be more often...it will be with more people and it's generally the same for me. It doesn't take anything away from our time.
Right now we don't socialize much with anyone because I have almost no friends here and all his friends are working and traveling all the time.
I dont think it makes a difference in the relationship. I have a lot of friends but my BF has lots more! LOL
He is one of those people that considers everyone his friend. LOL SO CUTE!
i think we have equal amount of people we consider friends but the kicker is i am much closer with mine than he is with his. friend time is totally unequal and he gets dragged to events with my friends so often. in talking about our wedding day he has even mentioned he fears one or two might not show! THey are good guys, just need to get themselves together a bit. a few are still in the frat phase of their lives.
We both have about the same number of friends. We have a few very close friends, and then there are the couple friends we hang out with...like he's friends with the guy and I'm friends with the girl in the relationship. I don't think it make a difference. We're both very big on making sure we have time with our friends...whether it be with each other or by ourselves.
My husband has friends everywhere. No kidding, he is the friendliest guy I know and can strike up conversations with almost anybody. I have many acquaintances but relatively few people who I consider friends.
We have about the same number but I have a more active social life than him. His best mate is married with 2 small children and lives 45 minutes away. His other mates just seem slack about organising to get together! I would have coffee/drinks/lunch/whatever dates with friends at least once a week and usually more, but he has 1 regular lunch date (with a guy he doesn't even like that much! guys are so weird). No wonder I feel like my "fun" money goes a lot quicker than his :)
I definitely have more, but I don't think its a big deal. The thing is... FI is pretty much happy just going to work and coming home to me. He doesn't really crave outside friendships so he's pretty lazy about maintaining them. I kind of agree with him in that 90% of the time I'm happy just hanging out with FI... but I do enjoy my friendships as well.
The other problem is that FI has really outgrown his college friends. They're still bonging beers. We're so over it. My friends are slightly more mature, which makes things easier. I hope in the future we'll make more joint couple friends.
My fiance has more friends. He's been friends with the same group of guys since middle school, and he's still close with them. Me, on the other hand, I have friends that I go out to lunch with, shopping, etc, but no one that I would consider my BEST friend. I used to have a best friend, but unfortunately we grew apart because she was still into the whole party & clubbing scene, which I grew out of., and she moved to a different state. I do miss having close girlfriends, but honestly I have a great family & fiance, and I really couldn't ask for more.
I used to have WAY more friends, but since we've been together he's become a lot more social. He's really close now with all of my friends from college and is starting to hang out more with some people he works with. It's really good for him and I'm happy that I was able to make him a little more of an extrovert.
I think I still have more though. ;-)
my FI def has way more friends than i do. :( kind of a bummer and i get jealous at times.
My FI has a ton more friends than I do. He is a social butterfly and will talk to anyone. Me, I am shy and tend to have that leave me alone look, or so people say. I am pretty much okay with it because I cherish the few close friends that I do have so much more.
my fiance has more friends, he grew up with this large group and has been friends with them since grade school. All my friends change with each season on my life, I can count on one hand the friends I still have from high school, or college or this church or that church. I think at the age I am now, staying at one place in your life to be able to keep the same friends is really difficult. Graduating, moving across the country, going to school, working, switching churches, moving again, new church, new home - a lot of changes have ocurred in my life in the last two years. So it's hard for me.
Finally my fiance was the one to move, to be with me, and we're finally settled into one place. Finally found a new church and will start trying to get involved. So he's not going to be the one with the most friends for long, since he left all of his haha.
I think that SO and I have about the same amount of friends. The difference is that I'm a lot closer with my friends. I have lots of people I like to hang out with and then a few really close best friends. I tend to make more organized plans with them, whereas FI and his friends spontaniously hang out when convenient. Another thing I noticed is that he and I have many of the same friends now, so it's kind of hard to judge who has more.
Even though we have around the same amount of friends, we different types of friends. My friends have pretty much carried over from childhood or highschool and I've always been able to count on them. SO met some of his friends during childhood, some at random parties, some in highschool, and some in college. He definitely has the more diverse group of friends ( :
lululemonade, that's how I feel too! My fiance has more friends but my friends are closer.
FI definitely has more friends- we joke that we cannot go anywhere without him not running into someone he knows. I have a good amount of friends, but am only close to a few while a good part of his bridal party are guys he went to middle and high school with.
He wasn't that sociable before undergrad, he really only has friends from his fraternity and dancing. Alternativly I have really good friends from my hometown, work, marching bands, community band, barns I've ridden at/worked at, and dancing. I'm also in better contact with my friends, reguarly having lunch or dinner with who ever is in the same town as I (either in Waco for school, or back in my hometown.)
When we were going through the guest his side is bigger but more of his friends are married while a good chunk of my friends have never even dated, he also has more family that can come. However, I have more friends who are willing to travel- they are looking forward to the 26 hour road trip.

Just curious, which one of you has more friends? Do you think it matters if there is a difference?
