I noticed a common thread….they all are pleasant to be around, positive, happy people who love helping others.

people I like are consistently happy to see me and let me know with a smile. They are interested in me. They point out my strengths. They are honest. They share their life with me.

hi bob,
body language and facial expressions are huge for me. and that conversations should flow. if it takes so much energy that it drains me to talk to someone, i will just pull away. also i find if someone doesn’t ask any questions but just talks about themselves, not likable.

Bob:
First of all thank you for sharing with us at the GO! Network session last Tuesday in St. Louis, MO. You are crisp, refreshing, and yes– very likable!
I noticed these characteristics of the people I liked:
Easy-going, “laid back”
They welcome me
Non- critical; complimentary
Respectful
Pleasant
Helpful
Good listeners

Terrific idea for an exercise. I loved it! I can’t help liking people who can make me laugh — or even smile for that matter. Add to that people who are kind without being cloying, trustworthy and authentic.

Thanks for the lessons, Bob!
I’ve observed that I like people who:
– are positive and upbeat
– are attentive
– look me straight in the eye and smile
– are engaging in conversation
– are open and share their experiences
– appear to be brimming with youthful energy
– speak confidently
– listen
– are funny

After pondering why I liked the people I do, I couldn’t help noticing a high corrolation between the people I liked and your laws of likeability – but more specifically, the people I like the best are people who make me feel competent, beautiful, respected and people who I can collaborate with and help.

I like people who smile, are friendly, who listen to me. I guess I like people who like me.
