More positive than the the similar theme other post.

For me it's the following:

1. Drinkers - It's probably my quickest way of bonding with someone. I have a new boss starting soon and I hear he is a man about town. Already planning our night out.

2. People that laugh alot - Nothing more disarming than folks who are quick to LOL.

3. Talkers - I rather be around someone who talks too much rather than someone who doesn't talk enough. I also like to listen more than talk (if the person is interesting).

4. Prince & 90s Hip-Hop - Sign of the Times your favorite album? De La Soul your favorite group? We will have plenty to talk about.

5. Irreverent People - If you are easily not offended and can laugh at any joke.

6. Southerners in general. If it's a random white person, I'd more likely get along with a southern one than a random northern one all other things equal.

How about you?

If you dating my girls girl and I know I won't ever see you again, we can keep it superficial.

If i've never gotten past pleasantries with a person....then I generally don't trust them beyond being cordial.

I wish people laid stuff like this out in real life. One person gives their list the others says they are not any of those things and they both move on. I hate telling someone up front I don't like to talk and then a month or two in having the listen to them complain about me not talking.

matches for them. Like you can put together your list, but the person you actually like will probably be very different.

It tends to match well with my introversion

I'm good in conversation but I am not a conversationalist if you know what I mean. I'm not very good at starting a conversation, even with good friends. I need someone to put the charcoal in the grill and start the fire, then I can be like the gas you dump on it every once in a while to make the flames grow.

-it could even be cigarettes, and i don't even smoke jacks.

i like the carefreeness of it.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

I mean clearly you like taking shots at me whenever you can but considering you don't know I don't take it to personally.

that's prolly abt it
I don't like "overly" anything type of pple
I was going to say Kwanzaa celebrators
but I don't like overly "Afrocentric" pple
so I dunno really.
I don't have a lane.

-----------------------------------
we aint the two and i aint the one- lyte

only exception is i'm not a *huge* Prince fan. like him just fine, but i'm not some huge fan. i got you on the 90s hip hop though. let's hang. oh, and also i'm not a *huge* talker, but if i'm drinking then i can get right chatty. we'd be fine.

freelancers etc. creatives, but not artists so much.

I don't drink, I don't like prince, i dont talk a lot, I'm not from the south.

Anyway, for guys, if you're into Sports (watching and playing) you should get a lot. Also helps if you're into lyrical hip hop.

in public.

most of the people I get along best with these days are the people I run into sitting alone at a bar I also intended to go sit alone at. they're people who are totally unoffended by something like saying hello and then sitting a few seats apart from each other, checking our phones and talking intermittently. eventually we'll both get a cigarette, come back in for a shot, and then it's constant chatter from there.


some other things...

Public fan of video games or wrestling. I haven't watched wrestling in over a decade (I flirted with getting back in during this past Wrestlemania but I only watched the following two RAWs and fell off) but I feel like if you can openly enjoy talking about 90s wrestling or how bad it is now, you're not someone with your guard up all the time.

Hip-hop fan. Spent two hours putting a fellow bartender on to beat tapes the other day while he batched cocktails. One of those dudes that likes good shit but doesn't do a lot of digging; didn't know Oh No was Madlib's brother or that his cousin Kankick exists. I always have fun talking rap, especially now that I don't really listen to music that much so it has a nostalgic feel for me and sparks some of those juices from my critic days.

Speaking of which, bartender. Former or current. Anyone with experience as a bartender, especially if they've worked in any sort of craft cocktail environment, is immediately up my alley. A) I know you know how to handle your liquor (unlike servers who can be THEEEEE WORST) B) I know you know how to talk about your liquor. Like with hip-hop, I can talk for hours though I take the student's seat most of the time since I've only been seriously in the game about a year.

Smoker. Sorry, I smoke, and if you don't, you're generally an asshole about me smoking (which I get, but I'm doing it so give me a break) and it cuts through whatever good vibes are going on.

Looping back around, not clingy. People often accuse me of leaving them alone at a place, but 95% of the time I hadn't intended on seeing them at that place. I don't consider it ditching/leaving someone if I hadn't planned on meeting them in the first place and my being there wasn't the reason they originally went there.
