The maximum number of friends you can have is 150 (it's called the Dunbar's number). The average number of friends in the US is 8.6, not counting relatives. You can't have more than 5,000 friends on Facebook. In any case, that's pointless anyway. I'd say we have less than 5 real friends normally.

Number doesn't matters. Quality of friends you have matters.

I always wonder how people manage 3000 friends on Facebook.

What a new knowledge! And it's true that not all people have many friends. Pray for me guys, so I will have many friends in the future.
