The Nivea Closeness Report found the balance between our numbers of “best friends”，“close friends” and “acquaintances”，remains fairly constant throughout our lifetime.The average Briton has 18 close friends and a friendship circle，when all Facebook and other social networking “friends” are included，of 208 people.The report found that men have more than twice the number of close friends，with around 27 compared to women who have just 12.Londoners are also the most sociable，with 39 “close friends”，while the Welsh have just 11.
