83 friends on mine.
Most of them are people I went to high school with that I did not HATE. I don't talk to many of them. Some are from my recent job. Rest are good friends that I care about and I use their facebook status updates to keep an eye on some of them. I can see their moods with it and watch for my depresssed friends.

You know, 100 isn't really that much. I'm at 99 at the moment, and 30 of these are extended family, another 40 are former or current classmates, about 5 are close friends (some people have many times that...), a few coworkers and a bunch of people I've known online for over 3 years from another forum. 100+ is too low of a limit to say they accept anyone. Some people, however, do add just about anyone they've ever met, that's pretty much a fact.
And yeah, unfortunately I do have to scale down on the nerdiness on Facebook...so I end up basically inactive because I have nothing of interest to say. My last status update was in November last year.

You get that vibe because that is a photo from a photo-shoot where the photographer was all about that theme.
Not a big fan of Twilight, no. But, I do gotta admit the photo and it's style does have its perks. Those perks are the only reason it is my profile pic.

Thank you. I'm getting tired of doing this. What's the point of having facebook if you can't talk about what you really want to? That's what I was hopping to correct with this thread.

If my best friend and my other good friends weren't living so far away from me, I'd probably would've deleted my fb account by now.
Also, Vox-Pop is probably cyber stalking you at this moment. Hide all your androgynous female friends if you know what's good for them.

As a potentially interesting observation, OP has apparently a net loss of 1 friend since posting this thread.
I have a ton of friends on Facebook. The problem is, I'm a different person at home than I am at school or even outside of school. So I had always tried to combine the two on Facebook. Since I've stopped caring and just posted shit wherever I want, be it comments or status updates, I've gotten tons of responses back.
tl;dr - Don't give a shit and comment people a lot. Don't resist any urge because, at the end of the day, it's a petty little website.

He just wants more gamer friends, that's all.
I think this is pretty stupid though. Go meet some gamer friends IRL. Having NeoGAF people add you probably won't make a huge diff. versus just chatting here on NeoGAF. Unless yeah you can meet some who are in your hometown, and meet their friends, and so forth.

I think if you have significantly more than 150 friends on facebook or wherever there's something wrong with you. You can't possibly care about that many people. I have 123 and I think even that is pretty high. There's a significant amount of them that I don't really care about.

All I got out of the OP is he's a dick. Honestly. Sorry you have soooo many friends you don't "need". Douche.

Oh, and as for actually knowing your friends, I set up a friends list of people I actually know, and it contains 367 out of my 419 friends (of course some of those are pending requests). When you go to a big high school, a big college, and have various other activities outside of school, you meet a lot of people. My number of friends is actually kind of low for my college. Two of my roommates have in the thousands...
Anyway, if you care about the type of people interacting with you, I would suggest setting up different friends lists (all these GAFfers sending you friend requests should probably get their own list), and then setting the privacy so GAFfers and other people see different things (GAF sees the video gaming stuff, everyone else sees the non-gaming stuff).

I would like to think I am not. Like I said, most of the people on my friend's list I am not to close to. That's sadly how facebook works. Lots of people find excuses to add other people to build their friend's list. It's basically like an achievement system A.K.A Xbox 360.
Therefore if you meet someone one time they are probably going to add you. I personally feel like an asshole if I don't accept. So I accept and just ignore them. Thank god for the news feed.

Had no idea you could do this. Is it pretty easy and non-time consuming to pull off?

This might best be done through PMs.
Good intentions, though.

Like we care.Vox-Pop said:I should do this too, for some reason my facebook friends are removing me from their lists. I now have four friends.
Anyway, even though I'm a hardcore gamer I don't really talk to my friends about it much. I have a few who are also hardcore gamers but we rarely talk about games unless a new game we want is coming out or if one needs help with a level or something.
And I agree with Costanza somewhat, I hate people who are like "look at me I play games!". But I don't think OP had that as his intention, and it might have not been something he does all the time.
*request sent!*
To tell you the truth OP, I have similar problem but I'm fine with it. I mean it'd be nice to know someone who can geek out about something that I like but life doesn't always work out that way. I often friends with people whose interest is completely different from me (ranging from sports/rugby fan, Dr.Who fan, anime fan, family men, etc). We're friends because when we do see each other we talk a lot and for some reason, our interests cross-stream at that point. But on Facebook, that just doesn't translate well.
"of" should be "have". Of is a preposition, not a verb.Skiesofwonder said:
If you "could" care less, then the statement hasn't clarified anything. You meant to use "couldn't".
Maybe you just need to work on your use of grammar and proper sentence structure to express yourself on facebook to really connect with your friends.

Yeah because if I did that then I would be on the same intellectual level of all my other friends on Facebook who always spells correctly and use proper grammar!

And not to mention the fact that you'd be able to express yourself as verbosely as all these awesome guys here at NeoGAF, who aren't in fact a bunch of rude assholes (despite this thread indicating the contrary).
