Idk what is up with the friend recommendations on social networks. Most of the time it's friend recommendations for people i don't know that have at least one mutual friend in common.

I always ignore them because i don't know the bastards, and they don't look worth my time to know.

It gets annoying.

Perth's a small city. I usually end up knowing half of the people under my friend recommendations.

Rofl, same thing for the town that i graduated highschool from.

Your concept of a small city amuses me.

Perth has population of 1659000. The metropolitan area around Helsinki has the population of around million...

Then again, it has been proposed that all people in the world would be connected to each other through less than ten degrees of separation.

There are only about 250,000 'young people' in Perth anyway. But I guess a more accurate statement would've been that the amount of teenagers my age (give or take a few years) living in the surrounding suburbs to me isn't that large, and more often than not, you'll know someone through someone else.

There, fixed.

Regarding knowing "everybody" in a city with over a million.

Dunbar's number refers to the number of people one could sustain a stable relationship with. You can know of people, and possess some knowledge of their character and pass it off as "Yeah, I know the guy." in conversation.

I deactivated my Facebook because it wasn't worth having. Friend recommendations were complete **** for me; I kept being recommended people who were 3-4 years younger than I am simply because they went to one of my two high schools; I didn't even know the little bastards and that was a constant thing. I had <10% useful when branching to other schools for my own agegroup, but Facebook assumed that because I attended 2 years at my first HS and 1 year at my second HS that I would know (or care to 'friend') everyone who ever attended either.

Six is less than ten, there's nothing to fix.

The thing is though that I'm hesitant to put a precise number to stuff like this, since there's always a degree of uncertainty in statistical stuff like this. "Less than ten" would probably the the best precision I could offer if I did a study on the matter. Or maybe 8±2 degrees...
