What do you admire in a person?

[ElDinero]

What attributes impress you about others the most, or what are the traits you place most value in among your existing friends? Or perhaps, what is it about your heroes that you most admire?

For me:

1. Trustworthiness - A two way street. I want them to trust me, and I want to know I can trust them. This one is so obvious as to be almost a given. If I don't trust you, I cannot call you my friend. My trust is hard to regain, once lost.

2. Principles - I think I'm a very principled guy. So I like other people who are. They don't necessarily have to share MY principles (though it helps, because I'm always right), but I like people who know their own minds.

3. Discretion and maturity - I don't like drama queens. If you use Facebook for therapy, you're pretty much automatically out. If there's an issue between us and you make it public or cause a scene in public, you've made things ten times worse. There's few problems that can't be resolved discretely with a quiet word in private.

4. A good sense of humour - I like to laugh, and I like to play jokes on people, so I like people who can take and make jokes.

That'll do for now. How's about youse?

Big tits!


No..more than just that (although big tits impress me the most)

I admire a good sense of humor that does not care if a topic is taboo.

If you are like that, then it doesnt matter what you believe..me and you are going to hit it off big.

Taboos are for pussies.

Even if they're a serial rapist?

In a partner/mate: intelligence(not right wing) and sense of humor with sarcasm and irony order of the day, and a nice rack.

In a friend: all of the above, rack not necessary.

Quality people they are....Quality...

Hey..they know what they want and they go for it...not like these lazy youths we have in America today.

1. Honesty. I hate catching people in lies. I especially hate when I catch them after the fact and it makes me feel gullible.

2. Integrity. You have to have some kind of adherence to the things you spout. For example, if I get bitched out by someone for swearing, I expect that person to very, very rarely swear, if ever.

3. Punctuality. I know it seems silly, but I fucking loathe waiting for people. If you're going to be late, call. Five minutes early is on time.

4. I have to agree with the humor thing, El Fudge. Humor is a must. They have to have a sense of somewhat dark humor and sarcasm or they will hate me.

5. Compassion. Someone who doesn't give a fuck about other people is not going to get along with me at all.

[ElDinero]

Holy shit. How did I forget punctuality? My number one hate, easily. I've had to bully this out of a couple of my friends. Be on time. BE ON TIME.
