Chemistry vs compatibility: which is more important?

[Anonymous]

And why?

Can you be with someone you have great chemistry but nothing in common with, or can you be with someone where the chemistry isn't great but you have a lot of things in common?

I don't really think compatibility means having things in common. For me it means two people existing together without natural conflict or opposing values.
My husband and I don't share a whole lot of interests... we like some of the same movies and we love adventure holidays but that's kind of it. But our personalities and values compliment each other and we take an interest in the others hobbies so just works.

I think compatibility is more important than chemistry, but not in the way it's been defined as things in common 😊

Compatible if you have nothing to talk about then it gets boring really quickly.

[Freija1989]

Totally compatibility, but for me one comes with the other.

The interaction of our personalities, chemistry, is much more important than common interest i m o. There are certain common interests that are important too though to different people, especially ones dependent on the partner like affection and sex.

Chemistry for the short, passionate hedonistic run
compatibility for the long run & if you want it there to nudge in the night

sometimes you get both but the partner isn't ready to share your relationship expectations. I think both are important when it comes to the real deal but chemistry is best when dojng the hookey pokey

Well your not looking for a perfect clone you want to look for someone with chemistry that will give a sort of relationship you want.

I suppose it depends on your preferences but chemistry is more fun

Usually it starts out with good chemistry but it won't last if you have nothing in common

[AlwaysBelieving]

I think there needs to be a good amount of both.

[Dred1614returns]
