What makes a person cool? I guess it depends on what you are into as to what you see as the characteristics of cool. These are the things I view as the characteristics of cool ;) You are respectful of others :) You are kind in your actions :) You are loyal to those who have earned it :) You stand up for your beliefs :) Your sense of humor allows you to laugh at yourself :) And if you are a parent, the number one characteristic of cool is: You do your best to raise and take care of your children. Often foregoing your own needs and wants for theirs :) Big Love
