Facebook hundreds of friends?

Looking at people's profiles on Facebook, many have hundreds of people in their Friends Lists. Are there really people out there with hundreds of friends?

They also all seem to be have wonderful debauched lifestyles, if their photos are anything to go by.

Am I the only person in the world who doesn't have hundreds of friends and who isn't out every weekend partying?

They are human beings so on average they have 140 friends (I did this in an evolutionary science class, might be bollox lol).
I have one friend who has 750 friends. Christmas card night is a bitch, I tells ya.
These people must meet folk at parties and go 'ooh ooh, facebook me dahling'. So sad.

I know some people who have 300+ friends, its more about association than a real friend, they ask their friends friends to add them, and their friends ask their friends and so on.

I have 200-odd, but they're mostly aquaintances. I don't add anyone I don't know, though. Actually, I think most of them are old school mates, but if I see them out and they ignore me, I'll delete them. :)

Click on privacy in the top right hand corner in facebook then at the bottom of that page there is a block person field, just type the name of the person you want to remove/block in there and click block to get rid of them totally.

Hope it helped :)

Think I've got about 50 but one of my mates has over 400, but then I think that's because she's a singer so gets to meet a lot of people that way so probably more acquaintances (sp?) than anything else!!

I think a lot of the people in question see it as a popularity contest, I know one of my friends on Facebook does. She's added hundreds of people - well OK, men(!) - to her list who she has never met, but I think, like pa__ul she does it to have a bit of a flirt. She's a single girl, so that's up to her.

To delete someone, click on their profile and scroll right to the bottom of the page where it should say 'remove from friend list' or similar.
