    I like the person who's a genius but's also a mess.. The kind who you'd never know was class at his job or discovered the wheel or whatever.

    Sort of like Will Hunting.

    Anybody in possession of a giraffe.

    Similarly, I respect people who are very good at a certain task, have a certain skill, but dont bang onto about it all day long, or try to make others feel inferior in their presence because of it. In a word humility.

    Anyone who lives in a piano.

    An upright piano... nothing fancy, like.

    Like a savant? They're cool. I admire intelligent people in general. Any form of intelligence, be it "book smarts" or whatever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,075 ✭✭✭✭Zebra3


    People who can think for themselves.

    Sadly, it's highly unusual. :(

    'trouser smarts' is also good.

    Yeah, tailors are good too.

    The type of person I respect the most is someone who is genuine, and good to people.

    What about people with dual personalities? :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 884 ✭✭✭ya-ba-da-ba-doo


    I admire people who just get on with things, overcoming whatever's thrown at them with hardly any complaints.

    Dual personalities as well! :)

    Ability/intelligence without presumptuousness.
    Confidence with modesty.
    People who know what they know and know what they don't know.
    Singlemindedness.
    Genuine people.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,522 ✭✭✭Kanoe


    people who can say more with a look than they can with a word, or even better someone who knows all the right words and how to say them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,526 ✭✭✭m@cc@


    Any person like Trent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 207 ✭✭hiluxman


    anyone who is good with a shovel

    I'm intelligent, confident, I who know what I know and know what I don't know, am singleminded, genuine & am the most modest person you could ever meet.

    In fact, I am so modest, I knock the sh*t out of everyone else who thinks that they are modest. I often refer to myself as the muddaf*cking KING of modesty.

    That's how modest I am.

    :D

    People like this don't exist.

    The world is full of hate and greed and people who love animals so much that they would rather see a person suffer!

    DAMN THEM TO HELL!

    I respect people that dont wave at me from the bottom right of my computer screen. Feck off Baz.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,719 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    I don't respect/like anyone. I dislike everyone, in fact i dislike people i haven't even met yet.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old


    i respect people who live and let live.

    So its not just me then. Its getting really annoying at this stage. If I ever meet that guy in real life I might not be able to control the impulse to punch him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,357 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins

    I only let live people who respect living.

    He always gives me a fright, then that fright turns to annoyance, then I go to another page.

    just say i said to one of them, "oh, so and so had her baby"

    the response would be "yeah... did you see the buggy she got? humph, well for some paying that much! bla bla fcuking bla"

    its never "oh thats lovely" its always turned around to be negative.

    I like people who can make me laugh, they get my vote.:pac:

    Life can be the pits sometimes and if someone can make me laugh when life is shit then they deserve my respect.

    Laughter is great medicine when you're feeling down.

    Not being negative but that means he/she thinks your kind of like a clown or something? Thats fairly condescending in my opinion.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    I admire & respect artists a lot. Creativity is a trait I find both fascinating & attractive.

    However, the traits I look for in friends are quite different.
