I'd be interested to know what criteria people measure their social life by.

I spend more time during work hours chatting to people on MSN than co-workers. 3-4 weekends may go by in a row without meeting up with a single friend.

However, I am very happily married. Brend and I were friends before we were lovers, and have known each other since teenagers. Our relationship is based upon friendship and respect for each others opinions in conversation. For that reason we don't miss other company Cool | :cool: In fact, weekends are generally spent trying to get away from other people - hiking, camping, etc.

So yes, the number of people in my social life may be "sparse", but I'm extremely satisfied with the company. I feel no lack. Thus, I voted that I have an excellent social life.

I am interested to hear what others think about this. Do I have my measurement of social happiness all wrong in your opinion?
