How does your idea of what you look for in others compare with the reality of who you interact with?

I look for comedy.  I look for class.  I look for intelligence.  

When I try to make a new friend i usually observe and interact with someone for a decent amount of time before I add them to my mental list of people that I would call my friend.  I love to laugh, so i surround myself with people who are quite comedic.  I look for class in a person, so i try to surround myself with people who also appreciate the finer things in life.  In my life there are only a few people that are comedic, classy, and intelligent.  Those are the people that happen to be in my inner circle of friends.  I try to embody a person who is a gentleman, someone who makes others laugh, and someone who has an air of intelligence about them.  So I try to surround myself with people exactly like that.  In high school its a bit harder to do that as many have not matured yet.  I have no doubt that during college and after college my circle of friends will match all of these standards.
