For me, it all comes down to having an interesting personality and something to say. I always enjoy a good conversation and the longer the talk is the better. I enjoy people who are down to earth and not pretentious or stuck-up. In my eye a person is neither above nor below another. All in all anybody who believes in individuality and doesn't follow the crowd is all right in my book.
