Which Friend(s) do you identify with? Which would you like to hang out with or date?

That's actually three questions. I've been pondering them lately, and here are my own answers:

I hate to say this, but I'm probably the most similar to Monica -- hopefully not as pushy, but details are important to me. I would definitely ask people to make sure they push the pen cap till it clicks!

As for who I'd most like to hang out with, probably Phoebe. She's laid back and she's interested in a variety of things.

And for dating, it'd have to be Ross (preferably the pre-moist-maker version). Joey and Chandler seem to be all about the sex (though Chandler's more subtle than Joey), whereas Ross seems to also care about the woman as a person.

I identify most with Ross, but largely because of socioeconomics (college life, solidly middle class, married rather early, no particular desire to womanize).

Hang out with: Any of the three men. They all have their strong points as potential friends: Ross if you want to discuss deep subjects or ideas; Chandler for showing himself reliable when Joey needed help; Joey to just chill out and/or have fun. Obviously, I could hang out with the women, too (with the exception of Phoebe), but not as comfortably as with the men.

Date: Rachel. Not only was she the hottest in most seasons, but her personality is tolerable and even cool at times, contrary to either Monica (competitive, obsessive) or Phoebe (weird).
