Easy Question people.

Who do u Prefer? Friends .. Girlfriends/Boyfriends .. Or .. Family.


Family
Friends
Gf's

^^^ is my line of preferance.
I think We must repect And regard our parents for what we are Coz its them who made US.

Vaskez 06-02-2005 09:47 AM

Well obviously GF's have a certain charm :D but generally close family still tends to be the most important, but for me GF comes next (if it's a more serious relationship i.e. we've not just started going out) and THEN friends

a_decent_1 06-02-2005 09:49 AM

Umm,

U mean u Wld always love a GIRL more than a BOY?

Vaskez 06-02-2005 09:53 AM

LOL what sort of question is that? Since I am heterosexual....yeah. Or are you talking about brotherly love or whatever?

Q'alooaith 06-02-2005 09:54 AM

hmmm.

Family
Family
Family
GF (depends how serious)
BF (depends how serious)
Friends

a_decent_1 06-02-2005 09:54 AM

Man,

I mean u would love Gf's more than Friends.

It means u wld always love a GIRL more than a BEST FRIEND who is a Boy.


It means we are supposed to love a GIRL more than a Boy if both of them are our BEST FRIENDS.

Vaskez 06-02-2005 09:59 AM

Hmmm, well I can't help it :D Being attracted to girls means you are more emotional concerning them, so your feelings are going to be stronger anyway. My cousin is my best male friend and while I do love him like a brother, if I had a serious gf which I dont right now, I'd prob still love her more.

a_decent_1 06-02-2005 10:04 AM

Exactly what i mean,

Men are Do*s [img]smile.gif[/img]

Bungleau 06-02-2005 10:07 AM

It changes as you go along. When I was much younger, it was family, friends, GF. In high school, sad to say, it was friends, GF, family. At university, it was GF, friends, family. And where I'm at now, it's family, friends, extended family (my original family, now that I've got one of my own making).

Cloudbringer 06-02-2005 10:11 AM

Family, friends....can't say 'boyfriend' as I'm married and that makes my husband 'family'. [img]smile.gif[/img]

But yes, he comes first as I vowed during the wedding ceremony. Then my other family and friends.

a_decent_1 06-02-2005 10:15 AM

When u r small U KNOW WHAT FAMILY IS

When u r OLD, U FEEL WHAT FAMILY IS.

Aragorn1 06-02-2005 10:22 AM

It depends what i'm after...

RoSs_bg2_rox 06-02-2005 10:24 AM

Was the capitals in "OLD" a symbol of age or something? :D

I'd probably say girlfriend, friends, family, but only narrowly. Idealy I would put them side by side, as there isn't much to seperate them. My girlfriend does play a big role in my life however, which has taken over friends.

Same as some others - the GF became my family, and that comes first, then extended family then friends.

Charlie 06-02-2005 12:17 PM

There are good ships,
and there are bad ships,
of the ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships,
are friendships,
And may that always be.

I've got this feeling that you're trying to teach us life lessons, along with your thread about what to never say to a cop when he catches you :D

At this point and time:

Girlfriend
Friends
Family

In that order.

Ivelliis 06-02-2005 12:24 PM

At the moment, for me, it's

Family
Girlfriend
Friends

Jorath Calar 06-02-2005 12:25 PM

Family... (well some, there are members of my family who I couldn't care less about... mostly because they feel the same about me...)
Friends and GFs are pretty much equal, depends on how serious the relationship is obviously...
Nothing like a good friend and nothing like a loving girlfriend... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Q'alooaith 06-02-2005 01:35 PM

Since my other halves have only been friends and have remained friends after.

Probably put my Girl/boy friends after my friends if I'm being more general, I'd walk through hell if any one of my friends, but I'd have trouble doing it for a new G/B friend.

Sigmar 06-02-2005 05:01 PM

Family

Girlfriend

Friends

My friends are my family. But if I'm playing by the rules of your thread, it would be

Friends

Boyfriend

Acquaintences

"Family"

Sir Goulum 06-02-2005 09:25 PM

Family
Girlfriend
Friends

Kestrel Daystar 06-02-2005 09:46 PM

I would have to say:

Girlfriend 60%

Friends 25%

Family 15%

That sucks! Feel sorry for you! My family's the best, they're almost all (including extended family) really cool people and I get on well with most of them. And half of them think I'm the greatest person in the world (well they ARE biassed) so how can I not love 'em for that :D

And I've more or less been adopted by my dearest friend's family, so it's all good for me. And half ot hem think I'm the greatest person in the world... Things have a knack for working out, doncha think?

Callum 06-03-2005 04:28 AM

Friends
Girlfriend
Family

RevRuby 06-03-2005 10:15 AM

when yous ays family, i think the one i grew up with, and they come last. my husband comes first (counts as a friend because he is my best friend) then friends, then the family i grew up with. of course i have many issues with my family, and i do love them, i have lost respect for them for various reasons, tho.

and of course, you didn't ask, but i'll tell you now, my kids come absolute first.

Vaskez 06-03-2005 11:45 AM

Hmm a lot of people say their kids come first above all else. Maybe I'll understand this fully if/when I have any of my own.

However, my mum always used to say to me "choose your wife carefully...your parents die and your kids grow up and leave, but your wife will always be there"

Callum 06-04-2005 09:59 AM

I heard a variation on that by some sand-up comedian:

"Choose your wife carefully. Your parents die and your kids grow up and leave, but your wife will go on... and on... and on..."

:D

Beaumanoir 06-04-2005 11:01 AM

Girlfriend and Friends equally. Most of my time with my girlfriend is spent with friends. Her friends are my friends now. If you get me.

Family, hm, I'm not so close to. I'm really close to my mother but that's pretty much it.

DrowArchmage 06-12-2005 07:52 PM

Why are you even asking? You always go with your chick if you want to get in their pants! Sorry for the way i put it but its true,thats how...........

johnny 06-12-2005 07:56 PM

Beer

I'd be far more shocked if you didn't say beer. ;)

Bumbus 06-13-2005 04:22 AM

Someone mentioned children, for my wife and I they come first. Way out in first. Then I would say they fall in this order for me:

Wife (girlfriend/boyfriend to stick with the original question)
Friends (of which I only have 2. That’s real friends, not acquaintances)
Family (That would mean my mother, who is dead; my father who lives thousands of miles away, my sister whom I don’t really care for and cousins, uncles, grandparents and so on)

<font color="cyan">Seriously Tom, your pissed me off there.

Really badly.

I'd say family, above all else, including you. I live with my girlfriend, and love her with all my heart, but I'd always choose family.

Friends are nice to have, but I'd still rather have my girlfriend and my family.

Our Dad lives in Thailand, so we still talk, but I miss him, I'm close to my Mum, but I'm obviously not that close to my brother.

You've proper pissed me off there Tom, seriously. When you read this, txt me. Just cos we don't live together/see each other much anymore, no need to say that.

Edit - The only reason I was coming home next weekend, was to see you play in battle of the bands...</font>

<font color="cyan">I think this is a very naieve statement.

Most countries in the world, are experiancing rising divorce rates. And they will keep on rising.

I imagine in your mothers day, couples stayed together through thick and thin, but nowadays it's not the case. Wives leave. Regularly.

Friends can always betray you, as can wives and girlfriends. The only people you can always trust, is your family. They'll always love you. Thats the way I'd see it.

So, thats my reason for saying family.</font>

This is of course from a personal point of view but I do not agree with the above statement. I have been betrayed and used by members of my family my whole life. I do not feel as if I can trust members of my family even half as much as I trust my wife.

Lavindathar 06-13-2005 06:55 PM

<font color="cyan">Yes, it is my personal belief and experiance.

I know my mother, father and brother would never betray me, and I them. Yes, sometimes we fall out, but I'd die for anyone of them.

Cousins & aunts etc I don't count as family. The only people I'm close to are my Grandma & Grandad....

I wasn't saying it's true across the board.</font>
