I make friends easily with anyone.
Near nothing matters if I enjoy their company and I can come to trust them.

The only things I will never tolerate from new friend or old friend is if they directly lie to me.
Anyone deliberately lying to me would not be a friend, and if an old friend lied to me, they'd no longer be a friend.
Small or large lies, if they'll lie in small things, then they likely would in large.
( I don't mean fibs like not being well when they are, to get out of a function or something.
Things on more serious matters or of a personal nature are the lies I'm on about).

So trust is the only thing I guess dictates my choice of friends.
In my career, I've seen how the start of lies, then compulsive lying can destroy others lives and reputations.
