    I tend to be a "watcher" What that means is that in any given situation, I usually sit quietly and watch people and their interactions with others. I tend to be pretty good at figuring people out. For example, when I first started my job, I was told by everyone that so and so was mean and awful, etc. I have come to find out that these people are just upfront and honest. I trust someone more if I can judge their mood by looking at them, then someone who smiles all the time, everyone thinks is their friend, yet will stab you so hard in the back the first chance they get. I am a pretty closed individual and tend to gravitate towards people that I know I can talk to. If I have any inkling that a person is a jabber jaws, I steer clear.

    The qualities of their personalities. When people gravitate toward others it is because they have common interests, and/or goals and similar standards of morality.

    I like being around strong, intelligent, women. There is a beauty in strength the transcends physical appearance. Modesty is a must though, arrogance ruins the whole picture.

    However, I can certainly appreciate physical beauty, especially a man in a kilt!

    I do not like people who try to waste my time with deceptive talk or whinning. The same applies to egotistical self over rating w..kers. I like people who treat others in a considerate way. That leaves few people to socialize with. Show me a saint who isn't in a story book.

    I think you like people who capture your curiosity and are similar to your self.. Sometimes the opposite personality is intriguing but you will either go along with this person or drift away because it doesn't feel right.. This goes on all your life and I believe you'll naturally lean to who you feel comfortable with...

    Some people have a great personality and others are just phony and talk about you behind your back.

    some people are just easier to talk to, they need a sense of humor, having a lot or a few things in common with them to.

    If they are vegetarian/vegan it shows me they care about others and the planet!
