What makes someone likeable?

Empathy, a genuine liking for other people, vulnerability, or at least the ability to be vulnerable when the situation calls for it, determination with a healthy dose of grit thrown in. And of course a sense of humor.:hug:

My favorite people are the ones who respond to the mistakes and mishaps of others in a relaxed, non-judgmental, calming manner.

a small percentage of people i just don't like, and get an instanve vibe starting from the first time i see them. i'm also right about 95% of the time in these preceptions.

if you're not one of those people, you're likeable!

Likability is the probability assesment made when one person calculates the liklihood of "jiving" with that person. It's about numbahz!

I like people who don't take themselves too seriously. Everything else is icing.

Easy to figure out, too. Just ask them what they take pride in most of all, and whatever it is, say "That's useless bullshit!" If they get mad, they're unlikeable.

A certain degree of self-deprecation is always likable, people tend to not like "perfection" in a person, ironically.

Yeah, people are jealous. I'm tired of hiding my perfection. :devil:

I like open people. I can't think of anything else really.

In terms of friendship, I will like anyone who is non-threatening.

In terms of romance, I like someone who is the right combination of respectable and non-threatening.

I'll automatically like someone if they're

inclined sometimes to say what they believe.
capable sometimes of listening.
