Empathy, loyalty, trustworthiness, responsibility and some kind of interest in sports/health. I want to be able to have a good conversation with them about the history and future of the world, or nutrition, or martial arts, or Five Finger Death Punch (they're awesome). And when conversation runs dry, and there's nothing left to say, I want to be able to get a session of Smash Bros. going with them, or go running, or go on an adventure of some sort, or something fun.
Texture, taste and garlic sauce.
I look for empathy, generosity, how approachable they are and my lastly how attractive they are.

How much of a hypocrite they are goes a long way. I can't stand people who ***** and whine about something, then turn around and the same thing.
I mostly value the flaws in people like selfishness, laziness or insecurity because altruistic types bore me to tears. Also, I like people who aren't scared to call me out on my bullshit. Seriously, it's difficult to grow as a person and learn from my mistakes if no one says anything. No, i'm not trolling, I really am that thick.
I value intelligence and a reserved nature.
While I'm ok with people not gifted with my magnificent intelligence, sooner or later I have nothing to talk about with them.
The reserved nature is important as I plainly don't like people who are loud when they have no reason to be.

I tend to value people who realize when they're being a burden, and just general thoughtfulness and courteousness. I understand everybody has to be a bother sometimes, but I don't mind it so much if they are aware of when they're being a bother and do as much as they can to alleviate it. I am much more patient with somebody who realizes and admits they're causing trouble than somebody who blusters in, causes problems, messes, and awkward situations, and blusters out before realizing exactly what they're doing to everybody around them.
I value honesty in people.
I know that everyone lies. House said it best. But there's a difference between the little white lies we tell as part of the social contract, and the lies that make me wonder why I even bother being your friend.
Keep your secrets, but please... don't lie to me.
If I'm going to judge someone, it's usually on how pretentious they're being. I honestly believe that everything in life has the potential to be funny, so when someone swoops in with their Serious Business face, it's hard for me not to giggle a bit.
There's always a point when we should be serious, but some people take themselves SO seriously that it's impossible not to find them annoying.

Empathy (gee, I wonder if this is a trend!) and integrity.
That really does cover all the bases. I don't give a rip about intelligence, looks, viewpoints or even demeanour as long as they have the above two traits.

I value positive outlook and distinction of actions. Honour and pride feeds heavily into the latter.
To be honest, I am a people watcher. I like to understand why people do things, and what motivates them. Someone could be the complete opposite of me, but I will like them if I can understand why they perform their own actions and what makes them come to conclusions that they do.
I dislike people when I don't understand them, or can't comprehend how their minds work!

Not being an arsehole is my main thing i judge people on. Also intelligence, now not that everyone has to be a scientist but just know basic stuff and whats going on in the world. I guess i should have said.....read a newspaper. lol
Competence, independence, reliability, a modicum of refinement... also the quite rare quality of wisdom.
It's been said, although I'm not entirely sure by who (there seems to be some debate about that);
You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him
I really like this quote and it's fairly accurate for how I think of people.
Throughout my teenage years, my role model was Zidane Tribal (FF9). I still think he's an awesome guy, fictional as he may be.
