Reminds me of an article [1] that demonstrated why all of your friends are more popular than you are.

A new connection is more likely to come from someone with a large number of connections (since they will be making larger numbers of new connections than someone who is unconnected). Therefore, a new friend will have more friends than you and, in relation to this link, will bring a lot more to your network.
