Raechel:
Also, I respectfully disagree with what you said about friends not
influencing each others choices. It's been my experience that often
single people hang out mostly with other singles, couples hang out
mostly with other couples, and people with kids hang out mostly with
people who have kids. It's because they have more things in common.
Obviously, there are exceptions considering that I'm married with kids
and my best friend is single.

Lynda:
I've noticed the same thing, (and I think that JKR actually does a good job
of carrying this idea through in the books) that, for the most part, single
people have more single friends, couples hang out with couples, etc. My
closest friend is two months older than myself (nearly to the day) also
single, and likeminded as far as entertainment and faith is concerned. I do
have some close married friends as well, but due to the differences in our
lifestyles, we don't do as much together as I do with my single friends.
