Interesting that you look for the positives in people. I think, to some extent, we all do. If I am forced to have a conversation with someone I don't know then the natural reaction is to find common ground and talk about something where you can both make a contribution to the conversation. To do the opposite and start talking about something that upsets or completely sidelines the other person would be an odd way to behave.
I think we all try and interact with what we see as he positives in other people, it is just that some of us don't like to admit it.
For one thing, it sounds a bit gay
