Also if you haven't got good friendships the chances of having a successful relationship are lessened somewhat I'd imagine.
We exist and are who we are through our friends as much as in any other way.

Also, when I had close friendships, that never seemed to lead into meeting women for relationships; but having a loose network of relatively casual friends has turned out to be more useful for that. (I know friends aren't just means to that end, but you (Ronan) brought up the issue of friends making it easier to get into relationships.)

I think you're thinking of his monologue on Nighthawks, nick!
"Sometimes I kinda feel like taking MYSELF out. Somewhere classy, y'know? And then when I get bored with myself I go into the Mexican whorehouse opposite the Catholic church, to see Rita, just got outta Folsom... BARK BARK BARK CIRCUS FREAKS SCANDINAVIAN MIGDETS SAILORS ON SHORE LEAVE IN SOUTH CHINA MUUUURDER BARK BARK BARK!"

You may or may not be bad, but either way it has little to do with your liking your own company. I'm pretty good at being a boyfriend, but I demand at least 2-3 hours a day alone. This is not negotiable. And I prefer to have that time at around 11-2 at night. My sleep patterns get weird sometimes, and sometimes I nap at weird hours and slog through work half asleep, but if I gave up my "me" time every night, time to listen to records and write and sip beer and be idle, I would go mad inside of a week. And the girlfriend is just gonna have to understand that. Fortunately, she does.

Right now I'll take hands over hos, and if those hands happen to belong to my bros, well then that's just icing.

Dan you must've caught the understudies, because at the show I saw they kept their hands still and just jumped up and down in that stiff-legged way. I never thought I'd be a fan, but you just can't say no to talent like that.
