Pro:
You call them "friends" because you genuinely like who they are and with whom you have a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations. With true friends, you always have someone to do things with. If you see an activity you'd like to do, you don't have to wonder who you could invite because you know who will probably want to go with you. Moreover, friends don't need to plan things in advance to be entertained, so it will help you have an active social life. And having many friends will enable you to browse for a possible partner without actually dating.
Con:
People shouldn't be called "friends" if they don't know basic personal details about you, like whether you have siblings, when your birthday is, what kind of music you like to listen to, etc. Neither if they talk bad about you behind your back and cause you unneeded drama by starting false rumours or tell your secrets. True friends are hard to keep, so you often have to be satisfied with the second best. Having a lot of friends can cause jealousy if you don't treat all equally and give then the same attention. It takes a lot of maintenance to keep in touch with them all and some will eventually leave you.
