My responses are pretty similar. When I was younger, I think I felt a lot more need for the social validation, but acquiring a serious girlfriend eased a lot of that. These days, I have pretty much 2 guys that I hang out with a ton (one of them I live with), my fiancee, and that's most of it. There's obviously a wider circle of acquaintances that I'm happy to see at parties and whatnot, but I don't tend to have very regular contact with those people, nor are the relationships terribly deep.
