I find all people fascinating. I think Oscar Wilde may have been right though. I feel sorry for people who know everything because they cannot have the pleasure of learning new things.

Of course, people who seem to know everything will generally say that they have much to learn; people who claim to know everything have generally forgotten that one very important fact.
Oscar was always a great one for the 'quotable quotes' and natty aphorisms!

Lots of people interest me, I especially like listening to people who have a real life story to tell. I've found I find out more by keeping my mouth shut and my ears open. I don't like the big headed mouthy people the 'know all, know nothings'. I like the people who know they know nothing because that way they can learn and I like the people who know they know something, but not everything because I can learn from them and hopefully they can learn from me. I just generally like people in general though.

All people have ways of being fascinating. It may not be in attractive ways, but everyone has something interesting about them. I tend to gravitate towards intelligent people. However, I love watching crazy things that other people do and different ways than I'm used to of doing things.

I am a great people-watcher, myself. I could sit for hours in a quiet corner of a coffee-shop or pub just watching people 'being themselves'! For conversation, I like the people who have slightly zany, grasshopper minds. They are usually the intelligent ones, as it happens!

There is nothing more difficult than a person who cannot see that the questions one asks and the comments one makes are only designed to get them to tell you their story. Most people are only too happy to tell their story if they know you are listening. I generally find them more fascinating than any novel!

They would fascinate me, too! I think that's a phenomenon we don't have here, though moderately well-off people can sometimes be seen searching through skips (which you call dumpsters) for off-cuts of wood, old doors ... that sort of thing. I have a very nice water feature which I rescued once! All it needed was a pump (and a wheelbarrow to cart it home at midnight, lol).

I'd not heard that quote before but I do agree with the second part, sometimes people who know everything just bore me because they're often bigheaded and talk about themselves!
I am mostly fascinated by people who know nothing, you know the kind, those who think they know stuff and actually don't or those who will argue with you all day even if you can prove them wrong. I find it fascinating that some people can be so stupid. There have been many a time when I have explained something really simply and someone else hasn't understood and rather than just admitting they didn't understand, they would argue either because they didn't like what they thought I said or because they were too ashamed to admit they didn't understand.

Now, that is a very interesting fascination! Yes, I agree, it's a trait worth being fascinated by. I have to say that I am drawn to people like that more than I am to many people.

I find inventors fascinating just because they have that creativity to think of someone that nobody else has! So many people plan to invent things that will change the world but not many actually achieve it!

Yes, I too like those the most - they are the easiest to get on with.

A good one! They are not always the most likeable of people but they take a lot of working out to find what (perhaps) makes them tick!
