I was at a meeting this afternoon and before it started I was sitting in the corner with four of my friends, who Im not going to lie, they are pretty snobby. I was typing an email on my laptop listening to them talk about how they were not going to go on 2nd dates with guys they met this weekend because either the car they were driving was crappy or their shoes were scuffed or they weren't wearing name brands, blah blah. So one of my friends came up because he heard the conversation and he said to me, "well I guess you wont be interested in going out with my guy over there, he wanted me to introduce him to you but he is doesnt feel like he is at your level."
I didnt even say anything! My friends were talking, I was barely listening!!!
So what do you guys think? Do you hang around people like you? If someone generalizes or catergorizes you based on your friends are they generally right? Do you have multiple groups of friends?
I have friends I go shopping with, friends I go to bible study with, friends I go hiking with, friends I go drinking with, friends I go to drag shows with, friends I volunteer with, friends I go to educational events with...but none of them ever co-mingle with each other! I feel like Im back in high school and Im the neutral one out of all the "cliques" lol. I honestly dont have one friend that will do all of these things with me lol
So Im interested in your thoughts on this...

Maybe the guy wasn't paying that close of attention and didn't realize you weren't making any of the comments??

Hmn, if the guy is judging you before even hearing you speak then he isn't really worth dating, imo. I have many types of friends, too.

I wouldn't describe those people as friends... To me they're just acquaintances you share whatever activity suits both with.
I'm thinkin' you need to get the "church" crowd together with the "drinking" crowd and just sit back and watch the fun begin! It's guaranteed to be more fun than watching Sea Monkeys grow!

LOL! you know it actually would be more intersting the opposite way around because the church crowd drinks and they will come to the bars, but the drinking crowd doesnt go to church and brining them to church would be a crazy experience lol

here in Cincy thats true, I never thought of that- I am quick to say friend when I mean aquaintance. But my friends back home in Chicago really are my friends, we all went to school together but those groups is where I see/hang with them the most.

Hey now....don't cha' be doggin' the sea monkeys, okay.......and don't make me tell you again
Yes. I hang out with people like me most of the time. Other times it is just because I was bored and decided to hang out with those that were "different"...
