For me it doesn't matter how they look.Pretty or not,rich or poor..if they are nice to me i will do the same thing..I don't care about a past..as long we can respect each other it okay for me.

well,i think our friends are mirror images of ourselves.We befriend only the like-minded people.And nothing should matter in friendship,qualities other than,honesty,trust and compatability.

I have plenty of friends and I am consider them precious as gold because some of them were my friends back when we were kindergarten, elementary, and high school. And even now that we are married, we still find time to see each other when we are not too busy or during special occassions. Our kids are good friends too. I am not picky when it comes to friends as long as we respect, we get along well, and have fun times together. My friends and I have one thing in common though, we all love to talk and laugh. When we are together we always talk about the experiences we had when we were in high school and we all laugh at the silly things we do. We often reminisce our good times together. I consider them my true friends because we always support each other through good times and bad. We never judge each other's actions instead we are always ready to lend a hand, even an ear if there are any concerns and problems that are shared. I am so blessed to find friends that I can really rely and trust. They are God's precious gifts.

you should always consider their personality. in the first place, you can never be friends if your personalities does not match. also comes with personality is the honesty and the trust to make the friendship solid. its just that some based their friendship on fame and money and when time comes that one loses everything then the friends are not around to help.

We value friends, but the path of friendship, like love, rarely runs smooth. We may feel jealous of a friend's achievements when we want to feel happy for her. We might find it hard to give friends objective advice unrelated to the person we want them to be. We can be reluctant to allow each other to change, sometimes falling out in a way that is painful for all involved. Friendships are vitally important central to our enjoyment of life. Friends are also central to this all-important sense of validation. The people who can validate us best are those we can see as equals, and with whom there can be mutual affection, trust, loyalty and acceptance. Such people give us the kind of validation that builds a lasting self-confidence despite the difficulties we encounter.

We meet people everyday, and all is fair in their chances of being my friend. But I do have a qualification for my friends. I want them to be trustworthy, other than that I will let time and experiences be the judge if we could be friends, for now, for a little time or for a lifetime.

Very carefully as it turns out. Now granted, it is not who they are, what they look like, what their income is, but rather how they act. And how well they connect with me. There are just going to be people who I am going to get along with well enough. But there is just rather one barrier that I cannot cross for whatever reason, so they are just going to be really good acquaintances, as opposed to merely friends. I really just think that the actions of people tend to really speak for themselves to say the very least. There are just going to be times where I only give people the opportunity to prove themselves. Granted it could be some time before I truthfully get a feel for them. Call it being burned one too many times for me putting certain walls up but that's just the way that I roll.
