Loyal or Interesting Friends?

I am watching the Colbert Report, and he has the lady from match.com (I think half paying attention here)

And she said one of the questions she asks on the survey is would you rather have interesting friends or loyal friends.

I actually don't know which I would prefer. A combination of both would be ideal, but also cheating.

Loyal friends. Interesting friends tend to get boring after a while.

Loyal is more important in the long run, but there has to be a degree of interest as well. It fascinates me that many (any?) people would pick interesting. But maybe they figure they can find another interesting friend when one dries up.

I think loyal friends are more important. Interesting people can be found all over the place. Loyalty is hard to come by. And when you find a loyal friend, that is someone you can expect to be there when you really need them.

Loyal friend.

Because A) Loyalty means a lot.

And 2) Technically, it's not saying that your loyal friends are giant sacks of emotionless garbage.

But loyalty means a lot more than good stories and stupid faces.

I want loyal friends. I'll be the interesting one.

Just kidding about the last part. I'm quite loyal (even in silly things like Nintendo).
