Seems like you'd only need the first two to have a bucket load of friends. Even just being rich could get you a lot of friends. I wouldn't want friends from having money though.

I've never wanted a bucket load of friends.

A couple of really good friends seems like the best scenario for me. I'm not really a people person.

Looks aren't worth that much when your socially awkward.

I don't think your math adds up.

The first two can only help you get friends if you know how to use them. The expectations are probably different, but no less confusing.

... and the more money you have, the harder the difference between friends and freeloaders

I don't agree with this. It very much depends on the quality of friends in my opinion. I don't know how to make friends either. I know one person outside of family. I once was around some people but was glad to get away from them when I did.

Uh. Hmm. you have everything, ask a rich person. despite what they say, money does make you happy! its been scientifically proven counting money makes you very well pleased. even
if you dont get to keep it

being pretty myself :wink: i can tell you that, yes. beauty is not in the eye of the beholder either. Being freaking beautiful rules!

People say garbage like that because they want to appear modest. and not better than anyone else. I wish they would stop saying it! :pig:

True.

Also, I am poor but I have tons of friends. And I doubt it's just because I'm good-looking. I think people who are confident in themselves attract others. People who are insecure do not. It has little to do with being Aspie, rich, attractive, etc. I used to not have any friends, back when I didn't even want to be near myself.

No. There is nothing that correlates number of friends to material wealth. I think you just have the perception that good looks and money will solve your problems, but lack thereof is not the root of your problem, poor social skills are, and so having good looks and money won't actually solve your problem. Though obtaining these things in light of your misconceptions may improve your social situation by giving you more confidence and prompting you to socialize when you otherwise may not have.

Obtaining these things would give you more opportunity to socialize.
