Who would you rather be friends with? (person, brother, wealthy)

Who would you rather be friends with between Megan or Rolando?

Megan: She is from a wealthy family and she is a dental orthadox, she has a ton of high class friends from wealthy families who do alot for her and they do alot of fun activities such as boating, camping trips, trips to the river, water skiing, mountain trips and road trips, she can be a bit on the snobby and stuck up side and the reason why she has alot of friends is due to her wealth and popularity.

Rolando: He is an unemployed man who is down on his luck and he still lives at home with his parents and he comes from a poor family, he gets wound up easily and he gets superexcited and hyperactive, he does care alot for his friends and he doesn't have alot of friends, his friends are from poor families who live in trashy neighborhoods, plus he has a learning disability and he was in special education back when he was in high school.

I personally think I deserve to be friends with Megan instead of Rolando cause she can provide me the good times that Rolando isn't able to provide me, plus Megan has alot of cool friends and not Rolando, Rolando's friends seem to be living in poverty and they are down on their luck and they're not very friendly people.

Why not be friends with both? I agree that with Megan, you will have the most fun. With Rolando, I wouldn't talk about your friendship with Megan, and I would also want to make sure that while being with Rolando, his actions don't bring you down. Don't lend him money and don't do anything stupid with him.

In what rule book does it say that one can only have one friend?

Rolando is my best friend and Megan is only an acquaintence who I used to know from high school

Rolando was the last person who I wanted to be friends with cause I thought he had a bit of an anger problem but my mother suggested to me that he sounds like a good friend and since I didn't have any other friends I gave in and accepted, little did I know me and him actually have alot in common and he is deep inside one of the most nicest guys I have ever met.

I have loaned him money before and he wasn't able to pay me back which caused alot of strife between us but I've gave in and told him that I'm not gonna loan him anymore money and he didn't have to worry about paying me back.

So again... why do you have to chose between Rolando and Megan?

I would have to say neither. My friendships are based on having something in common with the other person and I generally have just a couple of close friends. It is the way I like it, so although I enjoy the same activities as Megan, I think I would find her draining after awhile. As for Rolando, his financial problems aren't an issue for me, but his hyperactivity is.

Both of 'em sound worthless to me.

I do get annoyed with Rolando's hyperactive behavior at times but I always try to overlook it and focus on what a great guy he is, I do have some things in common and I've learned alot from being friends with Rolando.

What I did like about Megan is that she was laid back, easygoing and mature but she can be a bit snobby and stuck up at times and I think that her wealth, popularity and success did give her a big head

I don't know, I do have other friends but I don't get to spend as much time with them due to jobs, I have met alot of my friends through my brother.

I suggest that you find a hobby or some other activity to do in your spare time. Then find friends that enjoy the same pursuits. My best friends are those that enjoy the same hobbies, not just enjoying each other's company to drink and party with. I prefer people that I can do productive things with.
