You are what you hang out with, that is how I was raised and its true. I prefer friends, male and female, that are funny and go getters, not lazy bums waiting for others to do everything.

You are perfectly right - you can be judged by the kind of friends you hang out with. I too cannot abide the lazy

"kind, true , listens and has a great sense of humor" Good list! I would add: a dash of patience and some spirituality/humillity.

@Kandae11 I also listen closely to how people DESCRIBE their friends. A good way to find out what a person is like is to hear how they describe others.

i am a faithful and loyal friend, but don't mess around because i can be the most ferocious person you can encounter. because of that, i want friends who are also loyal and trustworthy.

@Kandae11 that is true. because i can treat a close friend like a living entity, once i am hurt. (like that patronizing colleague).

I don’t really have a criteria in choosing a friend. I just know when someone is going to be a great one. I have friends from different walks of liked and different ages. I have friends as young as 20 and as old as 65. I will be turning 40 early next year.

I gravitate toward those who share the same interests as I do. But, that doesn't completely keep me from being friendly with those who are different from me.

Iam not into choosing business. What matters to me is the instant connect with the person. His any kind of status does not matter to me

That connection is important. Sometimes people choose to be friends with someone not because they really like that person, but for various other reasons.

I actually have picked my family. My mom, my brother, my grandmother and a few cousins and their kids. Noone else is family to me. Never picked friends though. We just met and either hit it off and friendships happened or they didnt.

Don't think I'd want to be friends with the rich and famous - unless I actually liked the person anyway. Don't think I have ever actively chosen a friend - my friendships just tend to develop naturally - form shared circumstances or interests. I think that is the ebst way - rather than cold-bloodedly going after someone to be your 'friend'. Picking someone who is less attractive is also not the way to pcik a friend - when you like the person the looks are irrelevant.
