A true friend is someone you can call in the middle of the night when your dog has died.

Agreed.

My late mother in law had a plate that stated the following:

True friends are like diamonds precious but rare.

False friends are like autumn leaves, found everywhere.

That sums it up for me.

We all know who our true friends are.

We all have acquaintances, who we may still deem to be friends, but we keep them at arms length.

Lads you have known for donkeys years who even if they went out with Scarlott Johanson you wouldn't think about trying to get her knickers even if she was pissed.

Also I would rather die than have the shame of shitting on the lads I grew up at school with or three fellas I've met in boozers who people at one time or another folk thought were my old man.

I have 200 crows.

According to Dunbar (2010), The maximum number of relationships that any person can have at one time is 150. It doesn't matter how many friends we have on Facebook. It has also been found that this is the average size of our hunter-gatherer ancestor communities (Dunbar 1993). It takes far to much cognitive effort and time to maintain relationships with more than 150 people. When a relationship isn't invested in it diminishes over time. Within this number there are sub-levels, I can't remember what all of these are but the innermost circle numbers ten people, and these are the people you can really trust and rely on. These are your true friends. The definition of friend has changed over time.

This number excludes family, as family relationships are unique. You don't need to invest much time or effort into maintaining these. You can abuse family relationships and still be able to rely on family members.
