How do people have so many friends?

That feel when the weather is getting nice and I go to the city park and everyone there is in a group of 6-20 people with HBBs everywhere as far as the eye can see...

How do these people know each other?

Some people actively seek quantity over quality. I have a dozen or so phone numbers in my contact list from people who just throw their contact info around, always wanting a nice backlog of people to hang out with. It happens when people are constantly networking. It's like a real-life version of when people try to add more names to their social media friendlist; just spamming out friend invites. Then later on you rarely talk to them. Hell I have a dozen phone numbers in my contact list specifically from people I don't hang out with that much. Co-workers, former co-workers, friends of aforementioned co-workers, friends of friends, etc.

- People with large families also tend to have large social circles
- People who live in the same town since birth and have kept the same large circle for many years
- LOWINHIBITIONMAXXERS who don't care at all about vetting new people
- Chads and Stacies who are welcome into any social group and form a giant amoeba of hotties
- Wealthy ELITES have a ton of people always trying to ride their coattails and enjoy their wealth (boats, events, sick ass parties, etc.)

For miscers, none of that applies lol. Better get a cat or a goldfish or something to avoid the temptation to ROPEMAXX.

My question isn't regarding how anyone has some good friends...I'm lucky in that regard.

My question is how people have such large friends groups that they can get together at the park like this?

I have a ton of friends that are still active and social from college. I could easily host dozens of people for a party any given moment because my friends would bring their friends and we'd have a whole shebang. My girl actually complains to me sometimes that I keep up with TOO MANY people because she feels like it takes time away from her.

So you and your college friends all still live near each other?

Though many people at the park were good looking, most were fairly average.

I dunno, I shun everyone that wants to get to know me better. Amazingly, I have two friends I hang out with very occasionally. How do I work out at the gym? Alone. Nope, keep the chatter to yourself or people that accept that sht, I will end your chatter...abruptly.

The same way most pollies think populations can be replaced by migrants from any place on the planet.
By people all behaving the same and being general douchebags.

For men it's mainly keeping a friend/social circle from school I guess. And being a neurotypical and generally social person.
Being attractive or rich of course helps, but then you're going to attract a lot of leeches.

How else do I describe people who friendly towards each other and actively seek to get together in their free time on precious weekends during prime weather?

I moved around a lot so most of the acquaintances I made are scattered all over the country, but this point is particularly true. I'm in San Diego and see it all the time. Not necessarily "elites" but people whose parents are the CEO's of companies, lottery winners, or simply from "old" money all live down here.

Because they've always been in good social circles since they were kids from school days and are able to constantly meet new people from there other friends. Especially people at Uni, they have it the easiest when it comes to making friends and meeting girls.

But yeah jelly of people who have always had hot sloots in there circle, 95% of my circle pretty much consists of men from work who are degenerates and the girls I do know from my network I have no interest in and rarely see anyway.

My only options are Tinder or whoremaxxing because of this.

Your social circle tends to decrease rapidly as you age , especially once you figure out some of them are nothing but dead weight who provide nothing positive...

10 years ago it wouldnt be anything for me and the boys to be 20 deep somewhere by the nights end... now... I have 4-5 legit mthrfkrs I can call on at anytime for anything (and vise versa) .

Now for the shallow AF answer to your problems regardless of age... Move to warm climate , buy a boat , and watch people come out of the fkn woodwork to hang out... fkn lolz... and most of those sorry bastards wont even try to offer gas money.
