Do you genuinely believe opposites attract?

[SCRUMPSHUDILLIOCIOUS]

I often hear potential partners and friends discussing things in common and shared
interest over being polar opposites.

Honestly, you would... If you actually liked him. 😂

I don't believe opposites attract in the way that someone who is staunchly a hyper-religious conservative zealot (not all conservatives are) will be a great partner for a hippie missionary living in a 1950s van.

What I do believe in is two individuals who "mostly" agree on important issues who also have traits and opinions that compliment the areas they either individually lack, have little experience in, or simply could use insight on.

Yes. Both matter. Here’s an example:

My man is very artistic; he expresses his passion and emotions through creativity like painting and playing any instrument he picks up. I express my passion and emotions more verbally and physically.
The thing we have in common is that we are both very passionate, but the opposite ways of expression are thing that we love each other.

[Yads_Is_Back]

*things that we love about each other

And I think which ones matter are for different people and that everybody is different on that. Some people actually need somebody as similar to themselves as possible while others prefer many differences because it turns them on. I like a lot of both.

No easiest example ever. Does a right winger attract to be around left wingers i very much doubt maybe that one weird one does but mostly no lmao. They could have millions of things in common but they won't attracted. Honestly just find it weird when people do.

[AlwaysBelieving]

Yes. My parents are opposite in a lot of ways (they were born 180 days a part from each other). They annoy each other a lot. I'm still amazed they're still married (42 years).

[SCRUMPSHUDILLIOCIOUS]

There are some odd couples and their names aren't necessarily, Felix and Oscar. 😂

[sheikalana]

Not really. In my case I could never be friends or have a relationship who's the absolute opposite of me. I always feel attract to people who behave in a similar way as me, share the same interests, similar mindset etc etc etc.

[SCRUMPSHUDILLIOCIOUS]

I lean more towards commonalities as well. Seems for to build a solid and growing foundations on. Thanks for the share. 😌

[CaptainLegal]

Yes and no. If your personalities are exactly the same and like the exact same things then it will get boring, I believe there should be some differences to make the relationship more exciting.

[SCRUMPSHUDILLIOCIOUS]

I can partially agree and say, for some. 😌 But thanks for your share, most appreciative.

[blutwolfe]

No there's no way, likes attract when it comes to relationships. If y'all are alike, agree on same things, etc, there will be much less problems in the relationship

[Bratsondanielle]

If that's you in the picture I'd say you could attract anyone

[Jersey2]

Short term yes. But I believe studies have shown that they divorce more and that people with things in common stay together.

[SCRUMPSHUDILLIOCIOUS]

I can see that happening.

[jcnum10]

Nah. That works for magnets. I bored if i dated my opposite. We have nothing in common

[SCRUMPSHUDILLIOCIOUS]

So you wouldn't date a 4'9"
chocolate lover umpa lumpa
that says hike when he's jacking
up bricks from the side inbound
baseline. That can't dance and
votes Republican while hating
ghetto black people. 😂

[jcnum10]

🤣😂I'm done. u a mess

[SCRUMPSHUDILLIOCIOUS]

If you took him to lunch, you wouldn't have to spend a lot.
Just a little bit 🤣

[jcnum10]

I seen some little people eat a lot 😂🤣🦄

[SCRUMPSHUDILLIOCIOUS]

Me too, I don't weigh a lot for my size 6'2 and 187 but I can eat like I'm 400 lbs at times and never gain shit.

[OddBeMe]

I beleive 40% opposites attract.

[Anonymous]

I believe they can

[SCRUMPSHUDILLIOCIOUS]

They absolutely can but lasting as a couple is another thing.

[Loser94]

Nope it's just a myth

[Cryptic-Game]

They do in magnets.
