What kind of people do you like?

Post Reply New Topic

I like people who make me think.

I like warm friendly people and, I'm not sure if this is an adequate description, but I like people that have a quiet respectable air about them.

I like people who share my interests, but I don't know a lot of people like that. So at school I prefer the people who like to discuss interesting subjects like politics, philosphy, religion and other similar subjects. As compared to television, sex and "I was so drunk last night!" and other things that the people I don't like usually talk about.

They should also be mature (but if they prefer those subjects they probably are). Those who don’t spend all their energy at showing off, and laughs at others at every opportunity to show how much cooler they are.

And they should not demand that I talk. Some people get annoyed at me and accuse me of being antisocial when they discover my inability of engaging in small talk.

In short, I like respectful and intelligent people who I can have a meaningful discussion with, and dislike idiots.

I like nerds, geeks, dorks etc. I especially like otaku (since I'm one myself).

This is a very difficult question to ask but, I tend to favor those people with whom have a great deal of compassion and understanding in that, such individuals tend to be more open-minded and less likely to act offensive or get angry when I screw up socially or mentally for that matter but, it's not easy for me to produce a more profound picture in regards to this post yet, I've found over the years that sometimes for reasons unknown to me I've gravitated towards the wrong people meaning those of whom, have little or no time to spend or tend to not be there in terms of friendship in general terms..

Not much else to add at this moment..

I like people who are confident to the point where they're comfortable with themselves without being arrogant.

Also people with a good sense of humour have a good chance of being liked by me.

People who are open minded, receptive to new ideas and tolerant. However, they should ideally have a few strong opinions which are different to mine, just so we have something to debate (and argue) about.

People who are off the beaten track, so to speak. The people I get on well with most are those who are quirky, different from the norm and unashamed to be so. I once had a friend like that who sold out bigtime once he tried to get into the popular crowd. For shame.

And, they've got to be able to talk about, and be interested in, deep subjects.

I'm not too picky, honest.

I like deep-minded, insightful and patient people - they just don't like me, LOL. The sort of friends I attract tend to be on the fringe of sanity. I've had more bipolar & borderline schizophrenic friends than I can count.

I like everyone unconditionally, regardless of their personality or what they think of me. I am always as friendly as I can be to others, because I don't see much sense in rejecting anyone who is interested in being friends. This is somewhat by choice, because I always try to not be introspective and regard the feelings of others equally to mine. That may not specifically answer the question so here's some qualities I am drawn to in others:
Kindness
Strong ethical foundation (eg. tolerance, equality, not swayed by mass stupidity)
People who care about the opinions of others, and don't feel the need to talk when there's nothing to talk about.

Some of those things may sound un-aspergian, but this has a lot to do with choice. I don't mind the hard work it takes to form a relationship when I choose to care about the other person.

I guess that was a bit of a vague answer. Oh well.

I'm smitten with people who are not scornful.

Unfortunately, I've only met that kind here on the boards, not in real life.
