As the title states, how do you choose your friends? People with similar interests? Good looking people? Ugly people? Weird people? Please elaborate.
As for myself, I am open to anyone of any creed but I require the following characteristics/traits:
1. Kind
2. Smart (as smart as me if not smarter)
3. Honest
I made this thread because lately I feel that my quality of friends is in question. I have some friends that are nice as hell but dumb as a bag of rocks. I have others who can carry a stimulating conversation on a vast array of topics ranging from lucid dreaming to astral projection to medical advancements to automotive technology to pop culture and everything in between. Also I have one particular friend that is nice but close minded and not very attractive (she is female, teapot status aka short and stout). Looks is subjective I know but I have some mean friends who have made comments like "Take that thing down before it reproduces." Also I put her mugshot on one of those rate my photo websites (with her consent) and reception was not good. The times I have hung out with her I would notice an attractive female and feel that she is a major cock block since probably the general public assumes were together aka a couple. What I am getting at is I am thinking of ditching my dumb/unattractive friends and keeping the ones who can enlighten me. Basically the ones that bring "intellectual assets" to the table. As for the female friend with a hefty build, I am thinking of dropping her because she is close minded and her personality is dry as the Sahara dessert. Shes nice as I mentioned but gosh damn when I hang out with her I feel at times I am talking to a friggin marshmallow in a dress and not learning anything. They say time is money, and with her I am losing both. (we tend to eat whenever we meet, and shes not very open to my suggestions...I can only eat so much American fare)

Good luck chick, I also love me some "informer" friends who know about stuff like meditation, yoga, all the crap our gov doesnt want us to know about ie Aspartame in "diet" stuff, turns to formaldehyde in the body.... good thing the FDA says its SAFE. LOL!!!! or Flouride in the Drinking water...it kills our teeth, and eats them away.... thanks dentists. Alright Im done. 

I wasnt trying to be mean, I just think you cant ask someone to be a friend..either they are or theyre not. Of course, that also might be why I only had one friend from preschool through 4th grade, til I moved...and then didnt make a new friend until I was in 7th grade... Im not social at all, its a challenge to get me to leave my house or return a phone call or email, and for the most part I really dont like most people I meet, so its hilarious that I have any friends at all really.
