In answer to the Topic.
An honest asshole.
Your friends wear off on you, and you pick up habits from them. Be friends with people who are excellent, and over time you two shall become excellent.

I’d rather be with an honest asshole, because that’s what I am. I’m convinced there’s a gender divide in how this question gets answered. Men tend to be much more brutally honest with each other than women are. On more than one occasion I’ve watched a group of women I know try and give “advice” and “support” to a woman whose life is clearly turning to shit, and not one of them can flat-out tell the poor soul what she need to hear – “You’re fucking up your life Sally. Stop it.” This feminine idea of “support” has always made me wince. As women have increased their power and stature in society, this way of operating has taken a place in the public sphere as well. This, I believe, is why politicians today have to be more concerned about being “nice” than being “honest”.

I have a feeling most of your male readers will pick the honest asshole, because to them honesty and assholery are alpha (read: macho) traits. Myself, I think hypocrisy is underrated. If you do not walk the right path, it is at least better to know where it lies than to believe with all your heart that you are on it.
Furthermore, honesty is the rule rather than the exception–I don’t know that I’ve ever been lied to by my friends–whereas assholeness is an outright disqualifier for friendship barring exceptional redeeming qualities; there are many funny assholes, for example.

being amiable and honest myself, I would choose the hypocrite because I’ll naturally look so much better by comparison. Why would I want the competition from the asshole? It’s better to dominate the hypocrite than constantly bang heads with the ass.

Atheist_Messiah — you might be shocked. Depending on the situation, the amiable hypocrite could dominate YOU. The Alpha-Beta thing ONLY makes sense in terms of how women pick (usually badly) men. Read Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” Wickham was the bad boy Alpha, and a hypocrite, while Darcy just didn’t care much about how people reacted to him. But his power, basically money, meant Wickham would dance to his tune. Even “smart” Elizabeth Bennett at first fell hard for Wickham (because women invariably will chose the wrong guy 9 times out of ten).
A guy like, say Bill Joy, might not impress women at the bar, might have “beta” type personality and so on, and might be an amiable hypocrite, but at Sun he would give any “Alpha” management or sales type the heave-ho (excepting the CEO) because he’s a “star” and those guys (like Linus Torvalds, the guy who popularized Ruby) have lots of power inside their organizations. Meanwhile, a brilliant guy like Theo Van Raadt (OpenBSD) is a marginal player because of his personality rubbing guys the wrong way. Though his “Alpha” tendencies if he focused them on women would probably make him successful with them.
Stuff that works with women, generally is poison with men in the workplace. A few exceptions like BIGLAW partners or professional sports aside. Because … men and women are very different!
Pets? Not “women substitutes,” rather wife/family affection substitutes. A dog will love you unconditionally. The kind of love that men and women used to get, but don’t anymore, from life-long marriages that were largely faithful on both sides.
After spending, say, 20 years screwing lots of other people, from your teens onward, for most women and men, it’s pretty thin gruel marrying and expecting the magic wand to change 20 years of learned behavior, constant passion. For PUA it could be even worse, the awful suspicion that their partner does not “really” love them, the person, merely the aspects of the game.
Look at say, Denise Richards. Her pets and her kids probably form a relationship substitute, and she’s hardly alone. Almost every single divorced/single women in their thirties I know acts sort of like that — using pets and / or kids as a relationship substitute.

ah that was interesting and thoughtful… i think ur right too because in real life all of my friends are brutally honest, thugs, and/or drug dealers. So, it was a hypothetical answer to a somewhat hypothetical question.. I tend to REALLY enjoy myself around hypocrites though, for the reasons I cited. You get to fuck with them and not have to worry because their hypocrisy usually means they are spineless as well. They CERTAINLY never make the “real friends” category in my mind. But definitely worth it for the entertainment/company

how is this functionally different from more anodyne “youthful” features that men also fetishize, such as the cute high girly voice, the baby face with big saucerlike eyes, etc.?

it’s interesting you’d say this, though, because i’ve always thought the same thing about men who actually feel sexual desire for waifish women (as opposed to just wanting to walk around with them as high-status arm candy): they see them as substitutes for the prepubescent girls that society won’t let them have.

Difference of kind vs difference of degree.
“Youthful” simply means “adult without signs of age-related decay and wear.” A normal person never confuses that to mean “child.” If you like “youthful,” your’re still on the good side of teh perv/normal divide.
The Unnaturally Bare Mound, on the other hand, is unsettlingly on the wrong said of said divide.

Depends on what I’m using the friend for. If it’s just for hanging around with, then honest asshole. If they’re someone who’s going to help me get what I need from another person, then amiable hypocrite — assuming they’re a conscious hypocrite. An honest asshole doesn’t fly under the radar well, and so the jig would be up.
Could this mean that fashions are changing, and that the hideous pedophilic Bald Eagle is on its way out?

IMO the return of the bush-afro or pubic hair on men and women will be the forerunner of the future crab-louse megaboom. And the players… will be on the leading edge of it.

Which type of person best suits me depends on my needs. Sometimes I need people to be honest with me. Other times I need people to get along with various people around them. Well, not all those people can handle the truth.
Also, sometimes I can detect dishonesty for that which matters since I have ways to measure assorted outcomes. In that case honesty is optional though still handy.
I think the world would run better with more honesty and with more intelligence. But I see a greater need for more intelligence than for more honesty.

I think you are losing the meaning of hypocrite. Hypocrite criticizes others for doing what they themselves do. That isnt really the opposite of honesty. So people, read the question. An amiable hypocrite may also be an asshole, just not an honest one.
I think when I go out, I would like to have amiable hypocrite around to be criticized for laughs by my honest asshole friend. BTW I am usually the honest asshole so I think having an extra honest asshole around I would be competing for oxygen. I would take the amiable hypocrite so I can honest assholize him myself.
