What makes a person "likable?" (that word looks funny)

We've all met someone, or perhaps we are fortunate enough to be someone, who people instantly like. Some folks are just so damn affable you want to be their friend after knowing them for forty-five seconds.
What is it about such people?

I myself am not such a person. I tend to not say very much. I'm not anti-social nor am I an introvert; I usually do well in social settings, but it takes effort.

What qualities do such people possess that make them immediately liked? Can it be emulated?

That's easy. They look like this:

I can clearly see that Reverend Jones is one of those instantly disliked people

I feel like I've stumbled into r/relationships

you spend a lot of time there zul?

Some of the stories are downright hilarious.

I don't know what it is but I've met these people. Even better, I liked someone I only knew through one or two online messages. And when I told my wife about him she told me that she had already met him and that he's a really cool guy.

Hey, thanks. We should meet up in person sometime!

I've read more than two messages by you.

shiii

I like sab.

Which means that I like you even more!

I intensely hate that I love that people (pretend to?) instantly dislike me.

ALSO, did nobody recognize that I posted a photo of TOM FROM MYSPACE? He has more friends than all of us combined

Being tall with hair helps, I find. Not kidding.

Interesting. I haven't met someone like that for years. I've assumed it was just some phase of life where it's easier to bond with other people.
