Do you believe in having favorites among people?

    Yes, but I think my favorites are the people I know the most good things about.  I just haven't discovered as much good in my less favorites friends, so far.

      Of course I do! Doesn't everyone have people they like and people they don't like?

    There's no believing in.  We will always be more attracted to some more than others, agree with some more than others, etc.  We will not like all persons equally.  Thank goodness!!  When that happens we will indeed be stepford citizens.

    (I love that "Stepford Wives" book. And I liked the movie, too.)

    Both of those two movies.  They were both amazing.

    One group of guys at work said I favoured another group over them.  It's simple, the accusers are mean and nasty wheras the other guys are approachable and friendly.  Of course they are my favourites.  I would need to be some sort of masochist to feel otherwise.

  • Good Morning friend!!  Nice to see you here.  You're certainly one of my all time favorites!!  I agree, it's pretty natural to gravitate towards certain people.

    As impartial as we try to be we will always have favorites.  Things just work that way.

    And in the context here of your reply, your use of the image is great, ha!

      I don't dislike you at all, Don.  I'm not sure if that's a mutual sentiment.

      Wait, they don't call me Randy Candy; Randy candy is what I represent, it's a metaphor of what I have to  offer . . . oh, never mind.

    I have a favorite person in my life and support him in everything he does.  If he is or becomes famous I'm sure no one deserves it more.

    No.

    That is a game we play.  

    It lends to what pleases us the most.  How dare I?

    I have people I feel comfortable being around.    I have people who teach me lessons by having to be around them.  If I prefer one to the other, I am out of balance and asking for it.

    That's an interesting aspect. And it's one I admit that I can have challenges with, even though I know, deep down and as much I may try to battle it, I can learn/benefit/grow from pretty much anyone who enters my life.

    Not a matter of do I believe or not.

    Fact is fact.

    I certainly have favourites among my friends - the ones I'm closest to.
    I automatically expect that they do to.
    And it doesn't bother me.

    It's so simple -
    with some very rare people, the number of shared interests and values is so closely aligned
    that it's just incredibly easy to get along and 
    really enjoy each other's company and conversation.

    The key elements for me are emotional intimacy and high intelligence,
    but there is more.
    Creativity, awareness, curiosity, empathy, honesty and integrity
    all play I big part in who I feel most attracted to and comfortable with.
