Do you prefer to hang out with serious-types of people? I see people who really looks serious type and people who are exactly the opposite. I respect people who are serious type because they really look intelligent and very conscientious with their work. On the other hand the less serious types are fun to be with they are easy going and does not get upset easily, the problem is I observe is they are not serious with what they are doing or sometimes careless...Which is better?

I don't believe that people who wants to have some fun can be tagged as less serious. It depends on the situation. If you're talking about business and other serious matter. I think a person should put his/her game face on. But if during this instance he/she is goofing or playing around. Then you can say he/she is not serious. It really depends on the situation. We can be serious and have fun at the same time.

Well, there are good and bad sides in the two character types. Serious people really knows how to have fun while those who are less serious I think finds it hard more to adjust. Either way, they can all be fine friends to have...

A lot of my friends would see me as a serious type of person. I don't know.. I think, people can get along with me even if they see me as such. :) I can easily get along with others as well. :)
As I've observed, my close friends as so much different like me. They're jokers. Full of funny things and everything. So, unlike me. That's why I tend to believe on what they say that "opposites do attract."

as long as i like the person, it doesn't matter whether he/she is serious or has a comic side.
i believe even the most comical person has some dramatic side too. and serious ones can be comedians too.

I prefer to be with people with good sense of humor, people who know how to laugh and cause laughter but can also deal with serious matters with sensitivity. I am basically a happy person so overly serious people are boring to me. I don't like to hang out with people with extreme personality. It is so boring to go with a person who can't even smile even in very funny situation. I don't like a person who don't even have a single funny bone. Nevertheless, I also don't like to be with senseless person who wants just to laugh at just about anything but when it comes to serious matters can't even contribute a thing.

I like people who know when to be serious and when to have fun;of course,it's quite difficult to be like that and to combine but seriousness and fun,but there are people who can do that and i really appreciate them.I wouldn't like to be in the company of people who take things seriously all the time because they certainly can't enjoy life too much,but I don't like people who make fun all the time and are easygoing in any context either,I think that's a silly attitude from them.

You shouldn't decide whether a person is serious or intelligent or easy going just by how they look. Some people look serious when they're doing their work but once you get to know them you'll find that they're really quite easy going. It really isn't fair to just decide on appearance that this person is serious and would not be fun to get along with.

I don't have a personal preference. I hang out with a lot of people, even those that are hard to get along with. I get challenged by those kind of people. Sometimes my friends would call me a chameleon because i can get along with different types of personalities. I am 33 and i have friends ranging from 16 to 53. Some people thought it was impossible but I did it and i'm happy to have all of them in my life.

Well, I'm a serious person and I would like my company of the same kind since we will have a good time and a sort of connection but that does not mean that I prefer them over my set of friends who are less serious and more into fun.
I like both of my set of friends. I go to my serious friends when I have a serious problem or something that will need another brain to help me into things. At the same time, I appreciate my fun-loving friends since they try to rub me off their activities and antics. I don;t see the harm of being one of them or interacting in them. In many times, I am their 'pet project' and the free therapist when they come into sort of trouble.
For my serious friends, they often found me doing fun stuff and I became the source of their amusement and entertainment. It doesn't degrade me one bit since I am able to give smile and some laughter once in a while.
I don't see the point of picking who is the best set. I'm living the best of both worlds and picking one over the other doesn't make me happy or better. In fact, it's better to have both sets - to maintain my sanity in going through life. In the end, I'm just glad that I found my friends, whether they are serious or not.

I am not a serious person but I can go with serious type and jolly type. But i prefer being with a person who is true to me, whether she is serious or not as long as we could go along. I have a very serous friends and got outgoing friends. I am flexible and can go with the flow,. :)

Yes, I do. I am a versatile type of person anyway. There will be events in my life where we get to mingle with different types of people. And we can't avoid them. That is why I have learned to socialize with them. And sometimes some of them can be really boring, and maybe it is because they are not comfortable with you. And since we are a community of people of varied age groups we can't avoid situations where they are present sometimes.So I don't mind if I have to deal with it sometimes.

Id rather hang out with sincere people who know what real fun is. I am a serious type of person too, but I know when and how to have good fun. People used to think I am a loner or a kill-joy person, but I am exactly not. I just choose people to be with and a good place to have fun.

Personally I prefer not too serious people. One reason why I don't get along that well with serious people is that they take everything to heart. I'm not generalizing here but there are some serious people I know who can't handle criticisms well enough. There are also times where serious people have this one-track, closed mind that they refuse to go out of their daily, used-to routine, making them enclosed in a regular activity. I honestly find that boring.
On the other hand, the not too serious people tend to always have an open mind on everything. They can move on easily. It's ok to be careless. You learn from it :D Experience is flowing with these type of people :D How can you yourself be productive if you can't even grow with the types of people who surrounds you :D That's why I tend to group with not too serious people because I learn a lot with their experiences :D
