Sad as it sounds, guys you were freinds with in your younger days, teens early twenties and such. Theses people end up a your freinds through circumstance, you know like you live close by, you share a class or you go to a similar club. All in all most of your first group of freinds will let you down in the end, money, women, sports. Three things i lost all my "first" freinds through, a couple for the exact same reason as the original post. My freinds acted like i was weird, though they were still having Halo competitions on their X-Box's. Need i say more.

I guess my point in this rambling is that in the end he will find new freinds, its best to cut away the deadweights they only hold you back.

Peace and that
