Relevant question to the multifarious responses according to the experience of each of us according to our character and our nature apart from the consideration of intelligence

Smart person has a capability of cognitive and absorptive, and his ability to acquire, analyze and benefit from information.

Therefore, he can distinguish from the actual friend or the fake. So he/she has fewer friends. As well as engaging in matters that concern him and the lack of time for friends

Thank you for sharing this question. I guess it is the case, as i witnessed smart people are more focused on long-term objectives,

Further more, the study shows [1] for those with higher IQ “The effect of population density on life satisfaction was therefore more than twice as large for low-IQ individuals”

1- Tara Massan, Scientists Explain Why Smart People Prefer Fewer Friends. https://www.lifehack.org/408873/scientists-explain-why-smart-people-prefer-fewer-friends

This is an important question.

The old saying "Birds of a feather flock together" applies, here. Intuitively, this suggests that the friends of an intelligent person would tend to be like-minded, similarly intelligent (quick witted).

However, the issue "what intelligence means" is not settled. Without reverting to what psychologists tell us about intelligent persons, we can arrive at a level playing field in which the friends of a hub person would have a level of awareness that is both challenging and interesting for the hub person. We have a pretty good ability to judge the level of awareness of others without resorting to intelligence measurements.

I think so.

Regards

Dear Bob:

I absolutely agree with every word of yours !!!

Yours very sincerely,

Leonid

Well Mr Skiles , intelligence certainly not a metric for social skill !!!

Now , if one has an intellectual capacity the endeavor would be to propagate it . E.g:

publications (Einstein)

talking /taught provoking people(Socrates)

Commercialize (Edison , so much for Tesla)

Art/critic (Mark Twain ,Leo Tolstoy)

My perspective : smarter we are we know what to AVOID :)

If I used the word "wise", the answer is yes. A wise and intelligent person had got the ability to understand and judge a person. H/she can trust a trust worthy person. Every hello/hi can't be called a friend.

Yes l think so

It is a well-known fact of research results in social psychology that satisfying contacts are possible with a limited number of members of a group, with every further person in the group the state of less (und unsatisfying) contacts grows in an exponential direction. Perhaps this has less to do with smartness but with the possibilities of signal transmission of stimuli of the organism concernig stable mutual relations. The mass of contacts in social media and platforms let forgot this simple insight.

Definitely. Personally I have always had very few friends although good. Most people bore me deadly. They seem me superficial, childish and selfish. Ten years ago, after a very intense period of recurrent problems in the work, I went to a psychologist and he detected me intellectual giftedness (IQ > 130). Since then I have stopped of trying to tune in with everyone. I have assumed that when you are on the right side of the Gauss Bell you do not have many similar people around you. It is a simple question of probabilities. All this is ABSOLUTELLY NORMAL ;-). Curiously, when I had not tryed to be more social and I had accepted my characteristics, my social life had improved markedly. Regards

Although super-intelligent people are able to attract friends, their joy in developing their skills and abilities and testing them on smarter friends makes them limit the number of people around them. They may gradually lose the ability to communicate with people with moderate intelligence, and They live alone - their intelligence - their wisdom - their successes

i agree with Qasim Mohammed Hussein

yes , i think so

Dear Bob!

What funny question...

Ido hope NOT !!! I have several (many) very good (great) friends, but I hope not to be a silly person !!!

That could be a result of several cyclic, double cause-effect relations, explained from the point of view of Activity Theory (and common sense):

On the one hand, social relations help persons to solve problems, and they need less effort for solving them, consequently, they need less personal skills, knowledge, abilities and they look for them less, they learn less.

On the other hand, having many social relations, a person has more social obligations, restrictions, because he/she has more interactions in contexts, where others' needs, preferences, "space" have to be considered, taken into account.

Looking from the other point of view, a person having less social relations, have to solve "by oneself" many of the challenged he/she meets in his/her life, consequently, by acting, doing, he is acquiring more personal skills, knowledge, abilities. And being smarter, he/she needs less support from social relations.

Regarding happiness, it is again a complex process. Having less social relations, a person feels less social pressure, has fewer obligations to others; on the other hand, can rise the question: why he/she has less social relations? Might be because is not adapted to the social environment, and developing intelligence and acquiring knowledge and abilities, can feel more comfortable because he/she is avoiding unwanted relations.

Anyway, to find a suitable explanation it is necessary to define what friend is, if it is about the existing, up to now, system of social norms, or it includes relations, as they are taken place by virtual means, first of all, by Internet services. It makes knowledge/skills sharing, one of the factors helping the Human Being becomes who he is today, is changing and transforming persons and their relations (tools, as part of the social system, change, then, change other system components).

As every social phenomenon, it is very complicated and multidimensional.

Yes, as smartness differ man to man !

I think this is true for most cases because of their need for time for their important tasks, while social relations require them to spend a lot of their time for these relations, so we find their relationship limited

I think so

Yes, its true

It seems, yes

I side with most of the earlier contributors. Smarter people do not have time to waist. They believe every minute given to them counts; hence, it must not be thrown away.

Smarter persons are visionaries who are always thinking of ways of solving societal problems, engaged in a lot of projects. Time runs very fast for such persons and hardly will they waste it it on unproductive associations with many persons. Naturally, such long list relations, even if they have, die due to unresponsiveness on the part of the smart person. Where is s/he? Glued to books, research and projects, with no precious time to waste.

They are always busy working all the time to achieve their goals.

It seems logical, provided that there aren't any barriers for a social life like living in an isolated region etc, because:

• If you have started an ambitious project, then you don't want to spend your time elsewhere until you complete it
• Extreme social life is combined with relaxing your criteria for friend choose, otherwise you cannot communicate with all
• Probably smartness can convince you that good is not in the quantity but in the quality of friends, thus leading to fewer and better ones

Of course all kind of speculation for our supposed 'savannah ancestors' cannot be seriously treated as argument for the current question.

"The thing about smart people is that they seem like crazy people to dumb people." (Stephen Hawking)

Yes, I think it is correct, generally speaking. But of course exceptions are possible.

Lovely quote, dear Talib Abbas !!!

Maybe yes for the "real friends".

Dear All,

James F. Peters has right. If intelligence cannot be/ has not properly determined, how to evaluate the study Bob summarised above. However, I think not only intelligence is evaluable human feature. I prefer an honest and decent simple man than an intelligent egoistic swindler.

Another question: For what one needs friends? For a lot of wants: to be in good society, to have interesting and intelligent discussions, to help each other, to share troubles and chagrins, to share remembrance of our life, etc. To have friends is an elementary human demand. Not only intelligence may satisfy it. However, a prideful and arrogant genius cannot have many friends. There is a Hungarian proverb everybody’s friend is friend of nobody. It is better to have fewer good and true friends than a lot of superficial ones.

Interesting question, Dear friend. Thanks for sharing it.

A rational perspective: It appears to depend of the definition of smart, at least as a question of language between different idioms, and of the type of longer term objectives.

A conceptual/ideal view point: I would love that all persons in this world could be friends.

Dear Bob:

You have raised an interesting topic. I tend to agree with the theory that postulates the existence of various types of intelligence. That is, there would be a logical / mathematical intelligence, a social intelligence, etc. A scientist who spends most of the time in a laboratory seems to fit the situation described. A person with a high level of social intelligence, however, is perhaps more inclined than an average individual to get friends. So I think that more research on this hypothesis would be needed.

Yeah..! I do agree with your valuable question and I am agreeing with respectable all researcher's comments even

Thank-you

I say yes. To me its a matter of few people that I'm around have my interests. Coming from an area and background where all of my pre-college friends were blue-collar workers, like carpenters, welders, and pipefitters, it is now hard to carry on a conversation with them when I go back home unless its about old times. Not to say that these people are not intelligent, just that their interests do not mesh with mine. That is why I enjoy conferences.

I'd agree with, James. Few have my interests and personally I tend to be always busy. I do not see friendship as particulary important. A rather overrated part of life I suspect.

People with similar passion will clique together. However , smartness among friends gets displayed on certain occasions, projecting an informal leadership evolution. This could also lead to internal bonding adjustments.

Thought provoking question and following answers

Smart people can observe and analyze things and reach to conclusions more accurately than others. I believe smart people have things to concentrate on other than relationships.

I agree. A smart person or rather a wise person will more appreciate the company of like-minded people where he/she will be happy to discuss things on various intellectual topics. In terms of quantity of course the number of wise, intelligent people in the society is lesser to be very frank hence number of friends will also be lesser.

Dear Bob Skiles

Smart persons select their friends carefully, so they will be few

Very interesting question, to be meditated ! Is it the main reason for isolation?

Yes I think so. smart people are interested in ideas not people

Dear Colleagues,

Are 'smart' and 'intelligent' interchangeable words?

Especially in the context of Bob's question.

Kind regards, Balázs

I totally agree. Smart people mostly dont have many friends. They mostly are friends with their activities that they intend to accomplish.For this reason, they dont have or dont want to have many friends. Smart people are likely to think and belive that a person who has many friends has no friend.

Dear Bob:

It is important to add also that there are many topics on the sociability and emotional intelligence of gifted people. As they are less abundant, they find it more difficult to find affinities with others, but when they are in the appropriate environments they are more affective and friendly than standard people (in the average of Gauss Bell). This is because a greater neurological development also leads to greater empathy. There is a lot of scientific evidence on this topic:

Article Assessing emotional intelligence in gifted and non-gifted hi...

Article Emotional Intelligence and Gifted Children

Article Assessing the Emotional Intelligence of Gifted and Talented ...

By the way, I would like to take advantage of this occasion (half in jest, half seriously) to ask, whoever has the means to do so, for a stable place in an interdisciplinary research center along the World. I'm very good analyzing statistical information (my RG skills show it), I am gifted and I like very much to be useful. Also, I am very tired of working surrounded by border-lines ;-). It is not arrogance or a joke. It is a fact. I've been working alone for 25 years and this only happens me in certain regions of Spain. In other countries (UK, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, etc ...) or Spanish regions (Madrid, Bask Country, Catalonia etc...) I have worked very well with other colleagues. Of course I was surrounded by people more similar to me. It is not my fault to be on the right side of the Gaussian Curve ;-)

http://www.i3mindware.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/iq-test.png

I belong to Spanish Association of Gifted and Talented People (AEST, www.aest.es / www.altascapacidadesytalentos.com) and I can demonstrated that 99% of people of our association have similar problems. Certain countries, simply do not accept to gifted people. In a recent dossier the cases of mobbing and other social problems are a very high percentage

It is not number friends. It is Sincere friend's are needed for smarter people. Sincere friend's are always short supply.

Dear Colleagues, Good Day,

"The Closest Friendships of Albert Einstein

Most biographies of Albert Einstein focus primarily on his work and philosophies, and do not provide much information about his close friendships, especially with Michelle Besso, an engineer, and Heinrich Zangger, a professor of forensic medicine at the University of Zurich. The influence these two men had Einstein’s life, both personally and professionally, were profound and lasted throughout his lifetime.

Michele Angelo Besso (Born May 25,1873) was a Swiss/Italian engineer of Jewish/Italian descent. In 1896, Einstein and Besso met at a musical gathering in Zurich. At the time, both were studying electrical engineering there at the Federal Polytechnic Institute. Besso was six years older than Einstein, and they formed the closest relationship of Einstein’s life, as confidant in both his personal life and research. He once called Besso “the best sounding board in Europe” for scientific ideas. They both enjoyed playing the violin, and Einstein respected Besso’s intelligence.",...

Please, see the website link for more detail:

Having a cousin whos son had a high IQ there are a few things that I have noted. A child with a high I Q needs I feel its important that they realise that those the meet have a variety of intelligence levels so training or teaching good socialisation skills is vital. My memories are of a young man who got frustrated with his peers because he thought they were stupid when they could not do similar problems to him. He only saw adults as friends because they were on his level. However children of high intelligence levels need to be taught and trained to socialise and make friends outside and inside their intelligence group. So goo true understanding and accepting friends should come from a variety of groups so team play and sharing become as impirtant as being smart or having a high IQ its not a matter of just children accepting him for he is it has to be reciprocated

No, high IQ people can have as many or few as those with low IQ. IQ is a dumb method of evaluating anyone in any case. Smart people can be nice friendly people and dumb people can be nasty.

Yes and No.

I think it depends on the interpersonal/social and networking skills of the smart, as well as the depth of relationship.

I mean, not all the smart people are essentially good at social and networking skills to make friendship.

If we consider those with high ability in making friendship, so I believe they have loads of friends but in different categories for different reasons based on their recognition, understanding, need and purpose.

Fewer as close friends but many in other scopes (and at different levels), such as business, classmate, teammate, academic reasons, politics, cross-cultural understanding,.....

A true intelligent person understands people like they are. They try to improve people and the world around them. I doubt the intelligence of people who decide to stay away from the real world. He may be skilled, but socially blind, sick and soon or later he will have ti admit that his knkwledge was not good to even change himself.

A "dummy" friend can not be a true friend. But he may be loved by the intelligent one the same way. It is so, otherwise the dummy would not be dummy.

Vilemar Magalhães

What happens with the conjecture if a person is not smart at all :-)

Would s/he have (infinitely) many friends?

Could it be that the smarter one person is, the more selective s/he is in choosing friends ...

Dear friends

Friendship takes time and money to maintain. To get along with bad friends, Chinese describe it as dancing with wolves. I am not a smart, so I only choose integrity friends.

Dear Bob, I think that a smart person is the one that do everything thinking about how it can have a positive effect on others. we all live in this planet and in this way we all need each other. we should care about all, nevertheless to do things with love it is not necessary to like a person. love is the greater word that makes us do everything on behalp of others.

This is explained within the connecion from spiritism and physics quantic . We all are creatures loved by God Emanuel.

The ancient philosophers and Eastern scientists already demonstrated an attitude that became so basic in the theory of relativity, that is, that our notions of geometry are not absolute and immutable prorpities of nature, but intellectual constructs. in the words of Ashvahosha ""let it be clear that space is nothing more than a mode of particularization, having no real existence beyond itself ... Space exists only in relation to our particularizing consciousness.".bservation applies to our idea of time. Eastern mystics link the notions of space and time to particular states of consciousness.Thus, the most lucid physicists understand that space and time depend on the observer, so they do not have a unique existence, always depending on the thinking observer, while light and thought have a real existence, with a proposition of thought.The modern physicist Michio Kaku in his book Hyperspace writes the opinion of the physicist Hinton, who accepts Riemann's conclusions, according to which "light is vibration in the fourth invisible dimension, which is essentially the point of view adopted by many theoretical physicists.Thus, it may be argued that it is not correct to establish a parallel between the expansion of light through space and the slow speed of thought. pseudo velocity because thought has no velocity but instant presence, always where it mentalises, indepenndetemente of space and time, because it is timeless and non-spatial.The thinking being is present in any recesses of the universe that mentalize, however great the distance, because it is always present by its thought, timeless and non-spatial.It may be preferable to undertake inter-spatial, intergalactic journeys even through the thought, natural caractyreristics of the children of God Emmanuel.

Absolutely... Intelligent people have less friends. The realer you are the fewer friends you have. Here’s why:

You’re liberated in your own speech, thoughts, and actions, which can be contrary to those of your “friends.” You have a strong mindset and values. Your mind isn’t limited and you always have something to say. You think differently to others but you’re not bothered by their opinions on it.

You don’t have time for forced fake catch-ups or pointless conversations, trying to keep up with what everyone is up to. So, you mostly spend time alone. You don’t care about the latest trends or latest music. You have no interest in materialistic things. You also don’t have FOMO (fear of missing out), so you’re quite content doing your own thing. Your world seems to flourish more on your own.

You can see beyond people’s “try hard” persona so you distance yourself from people who aren’t worth your time. These people are what I like to call social climbers. They try to get involved with certain people for the sake of being popular or simply to look good (I have lost all faith in humanity).

You talk less and listen more so you find yourself sitting back observing the norms of today: The constant posting on social media, backstabbing, unloyal partners and disrespectful behaviour. It puts you off because you’re far more mature. You see more to life. You believe in radiating the energy you want to be around. You are humble and encouraging to all but you don’t put your time and trust into people who don’t deserve it.

You don’t get involved in drama. You don’t thrive off it like others do. Family is more important to you. You would rather watch an episode with your sister then go to a bar with the girls. The unnecessary drama that comes with a night out is exactly what you avoid because you know you’ll regret it when they instantly put you in a bad mood. You prefer doing things according to your own terms/will.

You don’t need to prove your worth to anyone. You’re happy with yourself. You’re independent and strong. You don’t rely on others. You can support yourself. You don’t need to wake up to 10 snapchats or 300 Instagram likes to be able to smile every morning. You’re grateful for the little things. You don’t feel the need to be accepted by anyone but yourself.

You have already worked out who your real friends are so you don’t feel the need to have any new ones. You are aware of who’s curious and who’s concerned. You are very cautious when letting people in your life unless someone throws your mind for a whirlwind and is as compatible as you. And by this I mean: thinks the same, expresses the same and has the same values. That’s the only time you let a new person in your life. But it still isn’t as easy as that. You still test them in situations to see if they really care about you as a person or if they just want to know your tricks of the trade.

You’re an old soul so you have visions for the future. You feel uncomfortable telling your dreams to small minded people. You work hard to achieve your goals and you don’t have time for setbacks. While others are trying to plan their night out at the club, you’re grinding. You see more than just going to a club, you see a life you want to chase. Your focus is different. Your time is being invested on growth. You don’t expect people to understand what you’re up to. Eventually, they’ll see.

People see you as a threat because you keep to yourself. Nevertheless, you have no fear in saying it straight or confronting someone when they’re out of line. You’re a force to be reckoned with. However, there are few that take you seriously and know how unique you are. These people are the ones you have time for and make effort with. You know what you bring to the table, and so this is why you’re not afraid to eat alone

Intellectuals and people who have high levels of intelligence compared to the average intelligence, are in harmony with themselves and do not rely on their lives to communicate with others, but need close communication from time to time, and the mind of the intelligent man works in one direction, so geniuses prefer unity, Few people understand them and have the ability to accept them.

Also with regard to friendship : There is a very smart elite, despite their talents to influence others and their social success, but they prefer not to waste time talking too much, especially when they seem to have no anxiety when they are alone. That is, they maintain contact with others within the minimum and necessary levels.

Dear Bob and colleagues:

I would really like to meet you all. For your answers I feel at home. I feel a familiar terrain when I read your answers and comments. I feel that I am surrounded by very intelligent people and that does not cause me any embarrassment but admiration.People who are like me. I can understand behind the words even in a language whose subtleties sometimes escape me.

I believe that it is very relevant to explain that there are other reasons why gifted people are usually alone:

- They are more vulnerable to social stress of "standard people" due to their greater ability to collect and process stimuli, including emotional ones. Many studies demonstrate that. An example:

Article The Neurobiology of Giftedness

When you are detected as gifted, you pass a time of intense psychological confusion. Then you start to accept this feature and understand the enormous implications that this "difference" produce in your life. Finally you are completely unlock, free in your personal world and very happy. When you accept your singularity begin to accept the singularity of others. In my case this unblocking has produced me certain "perceptive superpowers" . I am understanding so good to others that I detect for example:

- Pregnancies of few weeks by the appearance of the skin of the face, the roundness of the same, changes in the character. Three cases in recent years.

- At the moment I have detected 15 gifted students in 3 years only by the emotional connection with me. I call to this: "the affinity test".

- People who are sick before they know it.

- People who lie and believe that no one notices.

- Recently there has been a terrible murder in my country. An 8 year old boy with a beatific smile. An angel. I knew who was to blame when I saw her on television. Her icy look, her null expressiveness. I said to myself: she is disguising. It was finally demonstrated.

- I am a biologist. In nature I detect fine smells, sounds that nobody hears. When I go out with students, they can not believe it.

I have hyperesthesia.

I know these things seem unbelievable. Simply my mind integrates a lot of information.

Thanks for taking this issue. It makes me very happy that scientists like you talk about it. I think there's a lot to investigate here. I would love to do it with any of you.

A big hug for everyone and sorry by my English

Dear Colleagues, Good Day,

"Do Smart People Make Good Friends?

We all need friends, don't we?

Recent research suggests that our IQ, or intelligence quotient, might be related to our “SQ,” or social intelligence, depending on how close we fall towards the top of the IQ continuum. Most of us already know that there are a lot of factors that predict how happy we end up feeling in life. These run the gamut from inborn personality traits to life stage and environmentally determined factors.

Money?

Our annual income is usually a good predictor of our life satisfaction, but this relationship usually tops out at about $75,000 a year. This means that once a person reaches that particular income threshold, they will be as happy overall as someone earning even twice that or more. Just because your younger sibling outearns you doesn't mean that she is any happier in life than you are!

Marriage?

Marriage is also a predictor of happiness, so long as it’s a relatively happy marriage, of course. Men are also the gender that seem to exhibit a higher level of relationship-connected satisfaction with life.

Social Support Networks?

Strong social networks, too, have been identified as indicators of life satisfaction. In fact, simply feeling that you belong to a social group enhances your level of self-esteem.

However, a new study by Li and Kanazawa, published in the British Journal of Psychology, has revealed an interesting new twist on the social network equation.",...

Please, see the source for more details,..

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/lifetime-connections/201604/do-smart-people-make-good-friends

I don't think so....unless one mingles with more more and people one can not learn and will not be able to know about how much the other person's knowledge is...

even if you want prove that you are smarter than those who are around you you have to socialize.

Blinking in the dark is of no use...similarly the more friends you have the more they realize and you realize that you are smarter or not

what do you say.

Dear Bob

Thank you so much for asking this most important question. I agree with most of the answers given here.

Best from,

Litart

Intelligence is a number of mental abilities possessed by human, and are directly related to the process of analysis, planning, and finding appropriate solutions to the problems, and the outline of the conclusions, and speed in the mental simulation, in addition to the ability to think abstract manner, assembling and coordinating ideas, and the speed of learning , Understanding and understanding of others, and how to deal with them based on their levels and abilities in many areas of life .

Smart people have less friends (usually) because is genetically different in.... 500 genes...

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-017-0001-5

That smart people do not like to waste time with befriend, especially if they have to do what to focus on.

For these people it is time spent with friends and companionship and time well spent; because they prefer the pursuit of their goals and work to achieve them .

Dear Bob

Thank you for sharing this question. The smart people prefer fewer friends and are more focused to achieve its stated objectives. I agree with most of the answers given here.

Ana

This is the funniest question I had to answer to. But, i do agréé with the study.

An altruistic and honest intellectual has a lot of friends, because one is able to appreciate the beauty of every human being, help, understand and support every personality.One has very few enemies. An interesting article about altruism. https://www.saybrook.edu/blog/2013/12/13/12-13-13/

Intelligent people are more occupied and have many contributions to make by solving problem and so it implies that only people like him will hang around him and majority will find him boring. Since we have more people who want to merry than do critical thinking and analytic work.

Smart people may need to be defined. Are we talking about people who are prudently and intelligently diligent against the usual " Hard work" slogan?

such people will have defined and focus attentions and direction.

They may not admire all ways of life and their ways of life may not be admired by all people, but will not ignore the importance of human/people in their endeavour to succeed.

A really smart person though have some or few acquaintances, must still have to learn and develop good human relation skill necessary to enable him/her succeed where need be.

Thank you

Everyone has a personal view. I , my wife,, my sons, each has a different n0 of

friends. We are smart. The question implies that answers are given by the smart part of the Gauss bell. I am happy to be smart. Pity for the rest 👀 who cannot respond.

Friendship is one of the special relations in our society, because it helps to crystallize the character of the human being for the better, especially with the availability of good morals, and it is based on mutual interest, and sincere love that arises through concern for everything that is in the interest of the friend, This relationship is continuous and lasting, although the concerns of life abound.

The importance of friendship with the Aristotle that it helps to protect humans from falling into the wrong, a private sanctuary for man when feeling sad or weakness, as has shown Aristotle's opinion on the importance of friendship in the community, where he pointed out that once spread true friendship based on love, you'll Justice is spread all over the world, he said: (When people love each other no longer need justice, but no matter how they are equal, they are indispensable for friendship, and that the fairest of what is found in the world without question is the justice derived from compassion and love)

There are conditions for friendship and ideal relations, which are suitable for every age and time, and continue and even last, including that friendship and brotherhood are one, they said old: "Tell me from your friend, less you than you," and choose friends who are reasonable, And ask for his friend if he missed him, and back in his illness, and share in joy, and spread the sorrows of his friend, and not to increase the blame and reproach, and accept the apology of his friend, Forgets its slips and blunders, and spends its results, and always encourage him to work, success, excellence, Values ​​and ethics, to be lasting, strong, solid friendship, not shaken by the first problem or material interventions.

This is good and important question to follow

in my opinion Dr@ James F Peters is right.

Friendship begins when you feel you are honest with the other without masks

The reason is that there are fewer friends of clever type, and most friends do not make progress
