Opposites Attract?

[chiwawa626]

Do you guys belive in the saying opposites attract? Wouldnt it be easyer to have a relationship with someone who had lotsa stuff in common with you?

 

[Zim Hosein]

From past experience, yes, opposites do attract

What made the relationships interesting was the different interests we had

 

[amdskip]

Sometimes this holds true but I don't believe it is as common as it used to be 30-40 years ago but thats just my opinion which is probably completely wrong.

 

[Syringer]

Yeah, haven't you ever played with magnets?

 

[jaeger66]

My gf and I have absolutely nothing in common but we're going on 4 years now. So it can work.

If you're not married after 4 years of dating then something is wrong

 

[WinkOsmosis]

I don't think it's that simple.

I concur.

Anyone who attempts to distill the mechanics of a successful relationship into such blinding simplicity is doomed.

not necessarily true. i've been dating my gf for 5 years now...........

it's just that we're young. she's 20, and i'm turning 21 in a month. (yes, we're high school sweethearts.)

I'm in a friend's wedding in a couple weeks and they are both 21. They've been dating for 3 years now.

Isn't it sometimes more of a case of "you want what you haven't got/can't get"?

 

[zCypher]

I agree about the comment made on simplicity. It is not that simple, you can't dumb it down like that.

 

[Dacalo]

i heard that most of time, couples are reflections of each other

well i guess it all depends on your point of view. it is my belief that 21 is too young an age to get married, regardless of how long you've been dating

 

[Dingleberries]

Of course opposites attract. Paula Abdul said so.

Besides, you shouldnt marry until at least one of you can support a family (or both jointly). Perhaps neither has a stable job? eh?

 

[Angrymarshmello]

It depends on the people. Some people can get along just fine having nothing in common. Some can't

That's what I was thinking.

 

[AreaCode707]

I think you have to have some base similarities - particularly in morals and beliefs - but you can have some complementary (opposite) personality characteristics and fill in just fine.

Of course, if you're talking about gender, then yes, I would say opposites generally attract.

 

[yoda291]

I've yet to find the hot sexy windows admin(my complete opposite) who'll let me mount her box with my tty and finger her profile.

*sigh*

 

[Dragnov]

Up to a certain extent. Pretty much it is finding another person that fits your balance between differences and similarities.

You don't want someone exactly the same as you. Thats just too boring. It's like marrying yourself.

But you don't want someone totally different. You'll never agree. You'll never get along or want to do the same things.

 

[RobCur]

Very simple my friend, positively charged particle = male, negatively charged = female.

 

[SubZeroX]

No, opposites don't attract, according to this article

 

[WarmAndSCSI]

It's true in SOME cases, but not many.
