Please let me know if you think the following statement is true or false, and please explain your answer!
"When I am in a relationship, I don't have as much time to spend with my friends."
Keep this in mind: "not as much time" means any less time than you had before you were in a relationship (whether it be a few hours, or a couple days)

are you an idiot? it's simple mathmatcis. if have no boyfriend, you spend 0 amount of time with the "no boyfriend". If you do have a boyfriend and spend 1 hr with that boyfriend, you spend 1 less hour with your friends...simple fucking math.
by the way this is adam.
mish, I kind of think it's true. Once you're in a relationship, you spend a lot more time with that person, so if you hung out with your friends daily then obviously you're not going to be doing that if you're with someone and spending time with that person also.
But, I don't agree with people who completely stop spending time with their friends. I try to make time a couple times a week to see my friends, and it's been working.
do you really have to ask this question? it requires no thought...of course you spend less time with your friends. i think adam's answer explains it best.
lol adam, now i feel kind of dumb... you're right, it is simple math. OK I retract my "kind of think it's true" and add in "yes, michelle, it's true)
and one more comment: i'm not saying ignore your friends or stop haning out with them...very wrong. but it's true that you spend less time with them, especially when you have other obligations (work,home,gym)...daily life routines.
it depends on the type of relationship you have with your friends and/or boyfriend. there is NO math to this, guys.
isn't it pretty simple: im simply saying that if you have 20 hrs a week to split up among your friends and your bf, if you spend 2 hours with your bf, thats two less hours you can spend with your friends
therefore...if you spend ANY time with one, you have less time for the other
isnt that just a plain and simple fact of life? there are 60 second in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 7 days a week....you only have 168 hours in a week to do anything!
if you spend ANY amount of time doing something, you have less time to do something else
well, mishy...say that instead of your little scenario! that is obviously true for any and everything.
If you hang out with your friends 24/7 then it is obvious math that you need to take time away from your friends to spend with someone else. BUT NOBODY spends 24/7 with their friends. On average most people will go out 2 - 3 days a week with their friends. That leaves 4 - 5 days left to see your significant other.
You DO NOT have to take time away from your friends to spend time with a significant other. My only exception is if you are engaged/married you will obviously spend more time with that person BUT you can always bring the person out to hang with your friends.

brian-
you're absolutely right if your significant other's life coincides perfectly with yours. and yes, you can bring her out with your friends, but how about the time she wants you two to spend with her friends or alone? doesn't that take time away from your friends? i'm speaking generally, and most people (you should know best) have a limited amount of time to divide among daily activities
ok mish, cut to the chase. why are you asking this...
ME AND BRIAN ARE FIGHTING ABOUT IT!
reta- update your blog
1. foof you are so funny and need to start a blog!
2. brian: newtons law...for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. meaning if i spend time with you i'm taking away time from someone else. it's very simple. and also, life changes you won't always hang out with your friends 3-4 a week and your friends won't want someone lingering around you when you hang out w/ them. also, don't fuck with sir issac newton!
thanks renee!
I understand newton's law and absolutely agree with your meaning.
In this topic:
Action = being in a new relationship and making time to spend with them
Where I am disagreeing is EVERYONE is assuming the equal and opposite reaction is taking time away from spending with friends. All I am saying is it DOES NOT have to be the time you spend with your friends you take away. It can be friends time BUT it can also be workout time, nap time, drinking time, eating time, chilling by yourself time.
EVERYONE IS AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMING THAT IT IS FRIENDS TIME THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN AWAY, which is where I am disagreeing.
I also agree with you that life changes. Which is why I added my clause if you were engaged/married/in a very serious relationship.

are you yelling brian? Did i say you can yell on my blog? please keep this calm and controlled debating. thank you.
No yelling.....just stressing the importance of that comment.
:)
-Brian
lol...michelle, i hope someday to post something, and within an hour have 15 comments...
foof you are hilarious...you act like it's been so long. it's only been 2 days! but ok i'll think of something today lol.
this debate is getting kind of heated. anyone want to debate politics?
ps...renee and michelle...you will probably have a new workout partner as of later today!
actually reta...it's 18 comments =)
Please keep a lookout for a saturday morning poll, coming to my blog EVERY saturday morning from now on!
not to sound sexist or racist (because i'm really not) but this country is not ready to have a woman or black person lead it to an even worst situation then it currently is in.
R u sure you want to debate politics? It might get a little more heated.
-Brian (bored at work and have nothing better to do with my life right now)
i think we all need to agree to disagree!! i'm going to the gym!
i don't necessarily think we need a woman as president. and i'm so not into politics, but i'm a little upset about this whole obama thing. That's all. I don't understand this country. And i'm talking about certain religious affiliations.....
i agree with brian.
THANK YOU FOOF!!!!!!
(I'm assuming (and hoping) that you are agreeing on the original topic)
-Brian
Everyone-
Brian Is racist AND sexist, please don't believe otherwise.
Brian-
I agree that people can take time away from other things than friends, but it's just natural to spend a little less time with friends. I know this all too well!
Foof-
How can you take Brian's side over mine? You always tell me you hate him!! I am disappointed! =)
I am not racist or sexist. I am stereotypical when talking about the majority of any group of similar people/objects. Its not only blacks, woman, etc. There are stereotypes for white people too. (i know this is what you were refering to michelle)
Michelle - just because all your friends get boyfriends and never talk to you anymore doesn't mean its natural for everyone.
-i'm sure you know who this is by now
hey!!! i've never said that i hated brian!
well, this is how i am...when chris is around, i choose him over my friends all of the time.
Hahaha you guys are crazy. Well let me sum it all up for you guys... you have 24 hours in a day. lets assume that you spend 3 hours with your friends (safe to say that this scenario wasnt built upon the idea that you spend all day everyday with your friends). That leaves 21 hours left for eating sleeping shitting and various other activities which could include hanging out with your "significant other". So, NO, hanging out with your friends aligned with the juxtaposition of hanging out with your girlfriend or boyfriend is NOT co-dependant. This means that you dont have to take away from one for another. Unless of course your boys wanna hang the same time as your girl, then your fucked.
-Amen
I HATE WORKING SATURDAYS! I MISSED AN EXCITING BLOGGING DEBATE IN WHICH I SEE NUMBEROUS HOLES WHERE I COULD HAVE INSERTED HILARIOUS COMMENTS. However..as I never agree with a man over a woman (unless it's reta--JUST MOTHERFUCKNG KIDDING!!!!! I LOVE YOU!) Reta, i'm kidding. NEways. Brian has a point. You don't necessarily only lose "friend" time. Gym time can be lost. D and I did that. I don't recommend it.

and after ( . )
Ditch your friends
hay shinoo? what's all the fuss about?
brian don't you mean YOU'RE not ready for a black or woman president? i know our country is ready for CHANGE and it has to be better than this.
in response to mishy's poll, i believe that every part of your life is affected when you're spending time w/ your significant other, especially when it's a new relationship. things usually even out, though, when you realize that you can in fact live without spending every waking moment with that person.
who are u leaving that comment for really?
by the way that last comment was Fatin... mish really who is the comment for??? do i know?
fatin, you should know since you ARE the psychic.
it was meant for nobody...me and brian were disagreeing about it
