[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve noticed Americans in general don’t have friends.

Europeans and other immigrants have close groups of friends and spend a lot of time together.

Americans are lonely and stuck in their suburban McMansions cutting the loan on weekends instead of drinking wine with friends.[/quote]

I don't know which Americans you know.

I have friends from my K-12, friends from college, friends from old jobs, friends of my kids' friends, friends from my hobby, and friends in my neighborhood. Of all those friends, I'd say only one of them is pretty isolated and really just spends time with our group 3-4 times a year (we live in different states). All my other friends are constantly spending time with friends whether locally or from out of town. We do weekends away, we host people, we do weeknight activities, we hang out on the weekends, we talk to our friends on the phone. Our friends know each other because when someone comes to visit they are absorbed into the local group. I guess like attracts like, but I'm talking about 50 or so people from age 5 to 45 that I am friends with and we're all like that (except the one I noted, and she has always described herself as a very strong introvert and a generally unhappy person). I don't know anyone who doesn't do something with a friend or friends at least once a week. [/quote]
