[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No I have friends from all walks of life. Various ages, religions, races, ethnicities, gender identification, blue collar, white collar. Poor/ MC/ rich.., various politics. I like to mix it up and find people interesting regardless of who they are and where they're coming from. (I am a boomer). How about you OP?[/quote]

How do you find these friends?

Do you include people you just have a passing acquaintanceship and talk to periodically when they come to fix your plumbing as a friend?  [/quote]

I don’t know about PP who is just touting the diversity of her friend group but I think most people have pointed out that their friends usually have some commonality with them — eg the queer poster who has mostly queer friends, the posters living in neighborhoods where the minority race are friends with the other moms, etc.  Presumably people meet people who are different from them in some aspect by the dimensions that they have in common.

For example: I have Chinese and black friends from my college dorm assignment (points commonality: same age, university).  I have friends ages 10-80 from my church (points of commonality: same religion).  I have Jewish friends from my kid’s school (points of commonality: same age kids).  Etc.[/quote]
