....outcasted (has very few friends) or do you prefer one that is "hip" and has a lot of friends? And why did you choose this answser? Do you feel that you can protect the girl more who is outcasted, she will be easier to love? Or do you like to have a girl who has a lot of friends because you know that your friends may approve and you feel better about yourself? Some say that some guys look for girls who are outcasted or insecure because they can take advantage of that, do you feel that is true? And why do you say that?

when you date a girl with lots of friends, you are not dating one person each date will be reviewed by the panel. this is rather interesting if you work in the same unit at the job, when you walk in the door whatever happened last night is already been reviewed by your peers.

This sounds like a discussion about social proof.

Both genders typically like people who have friends because it confirms that Bob and Jane possess the positive skills and attributes needed to make and maintain friends.

I always roll my eyes whenever someone complains that he/she is an engaging, lovely individual and yet can't seem to make my friends. Trust me. If someone can't make ANY friends at all, there IS a reason.

This depends on the chick. There are those girls that NEED to have their friends' approval of a guy or else the world will come crashing down and poor little Bobby is dumped into the pile of rejected boys. I can understand why this is desired (confirmation that the guy is a catch - plus the guilty pleasure of knowing your friends find your guy smoking hot) but in the end, you're going to be the one dating the guy - not your friends - so their opinions don't add up to anything.

See I agree with you, it is dumb BUT unfortuately some people do NOT share that view point my friend. I was talking to a friend of mine about this very topic that is why I posted this.

She was half hearted about this topic. I simply told her that it is petty if a guy goes for a woman only for "status" (her friends)

I don't really care if a guy I want to date has a lot of friends or not. I figure if he has fewer friends that means more of him for me!

I think if you like a girl, she is what matters. Not who her friends are, or if she`s popular, or whatever. She may be a sweet girl, who just doesn`t socialize much, etc.
