A person that is a brilliant friend while things are going well, but when the gong gets tough, the person ups and leaves.
when I was rich, Chris was such a great friend. But when I screwed up and lost everything, I never heard from him again. Chris is such a fair-weather friend.

Usually a good friend to begin with that eventually takes advantage of a true friend and does not maintain the SAME loyalty and respect. Without an explation why, a fair weather friend may abandon a friendship altogether for superficial reasons or changes in moral beliefs without a care for nurturing fair dicussion. The exception is when that person needs something, they know they can still count on an "all weather friend"
Since she's a fair-weather FRIEND, I guess that means I'm still her friend in all weather until I consider her not a friend any longer.

A friend who only calls, texts, or hangs out when it suits them on their terms. They require everyone to be flexible around their last minute plans. In most cases, this friend will then cancel the plans all together because it doesn’t suit them- citing a last minute “pop up.” Never returns calls, texts, or face times.
Tyler’s friends genuinely enjoy his company. But as a fair weather friend- Tyler rarely actually follows through on returning calls, texts, face-times, or lunch dates. Usually he will claim some last minute “thing” was going on- but everyone knows its because he never wanted to hang out in the first place.

Pun on "a fair-weather friend" (which is a friend one could only depend on in good times). A friend you only see during affairs (social functions, parties). Not really someone you can rely on.
i don't need another affair weather friend. i want someone who i could sit down & have coffee with, someone who will be there for me when times are tough..

china and Nepal are all-weather friends. Both countries help to each other in each and every different situations.

A friend who ignores you until they find out that you're pregnant, and then tries to insert themselves into your life in every way possible. These individuals are most noticeable on facebook and other social networking sites, liking all posts related to pregnancy and babies that don't belong to them.

I didn't think Jerod would stick by me, but when I got into trouble, he backed me up; he turned out to be a real bad-weather friend.
