A few close friends or a lot of acquaintances? I'd go with the acquaintances because I like the idea that a lot of people like me but I don't like getting too close to people.

I'd always prefer a few close friends because it makes me feel stupid to be around the same people all the time yet not know them on a good friend level.

I'd rather have a few close friends. In the end, you just want people who'll stick by you, and most acquaintances won't do that...for the obvious reasons. At first I was thinking that I would rather have a lot of acquaintances, because I would have a lot of people whom I can ask for favors (I know...selfish...). But it would be lonely. Yes, you would really have to open yourself up to people, but when you do that, they'll open up to you and you'll get to know some interesting people.

I have 4 close friends and I'm happy with hanging out with them, and I don't really like acquaintances, cause they're the ones that most likely are gonna stab you in the back from my experience. So I like close friends.

A few close friends. Because they'll always be there for you. Unlike "acquaintences" because they might not even care.
Friends are always people you can count on, and that can count of you. It's always nice to know someone comes to you when they need someone.

I have one best friend that I can count on through thick and thin no matter what. A few people that are friends, but not many. And many acquaintances. If I had to choose one, it would definately be that one best friend.
Merry Christmas!

Definately a few close friends. With acquaintances, you can't vent about your problems!

I prefer a few good friends. I like knowing that I have a few people worth going the extra mile for in my life. I also like knowing that there is a few people who would go the extra mile for me.

close friends b/c u can always make more friends and if you had a lot of aquaintences sum of them might only like you for your looks, $$, or social standing and if you have good friends they like you for who you are...(and you'll probably have them to rely on throughout life)
