Not sure about this. I've seen unattractive (fat) women hang out with a good looking friend. Perhaps some females enjoy this because it means less competition for them.
LOL, or maybe (just maybe) they actually like one another. But if the op is people watching at a mall (not that I have anything against malls, trust me ), there might be more people focused on appearance and material things - and thus, beauty queens hanging with beauty queens, etc.
Yes, you caught me. I hang out with a crowd of ballroom dancers and lawyers.
I have friends of all persuasions, but my closest friends are very similar to me in social status, hobbies, weight. The weight part is because most of my friends are fellow ballroom dancers and as a competitive dancer one HAS to be in shape. It's not that I don't have overweight friends or friends who have less financial freedom than I have, but let's face it - I hang with other dancers, we're in shape and you have to have money in order to be involved in competitive dance. (Hope that doesn't sound too shallow!)
Unless you are an open minded person, generally you will see that similar status quo people will more often shop together, or hang out together. It's difficult for someone who is of a lesser status ie: material wealth and spending cash to hang with people who are big spenders. It just doesn't work out very well that well. By nature, humans are jealous creatures and even if you can stomach it at first, eventually the discrepancies comes up and causes a problem.
If you look at the number and age of the pre-teen and teen youth at the mall you'll easily spot the ones that are the "popular" girls, the "field hockey chicks", and the "outcasts". In our society today children learn very young that pretty people pick other pretty people to play with and invite to birthday parties.

For real. Maybe after CA Open next month I'll post up some pics (with my face blotted out, so I can remain anonymous) if my kids can find the time to help me out here!
I don't want to paraphrase acors incorrectly, but I think the point about the mall is coming out again - if we're talking about a mall, then to some degree you might have to be of more similar social status. You can't drag your bohemian friend into Neiman Marcus. Well, you can, but they probably won't want to follow you ...

Not to mention how really uncomfortable it must be to drag a penniless friend into Neiman Marcus while she watches you plunk down $1,000 for a pair of shoes.

Yanno, I hate to be rude, and I apologize, but you just don't get it....it's not about what a person looks like on the outside, but who they are inside....
I know a lot of really heavy people that are wonderful people....
Your talking about another human being here....remember that if you would be so kind to look beyond and see the bigger picture.

Yeah, it was so mean when you did that to me, but I liked your shoes!
