Search Results: things in common with your partner

I work in entertainment (large live venues, film/TV sets) and I have had a few people either try to get things like free tickets from me (not allowed ever) or see if they can tail me to set/pass on their info to someone higher up the chain (definitely not allowed and highly disrespectful). A lot of people seem to think this is a giant party all the time and when they ask, they either act like I'm lying, that I'm stuck up or just disappear.

I've caught a couple people mid statement letting their intentions slip and it bugs me, a lot. Im not against passing on things you can find yourself (show dates, cheap ticket spots, audition dets or names of CDs) but blatantly asking me for something like a role in a show (cannot do, wouldn't do if I could). The more work I get, the more common this has become and when I go on dates, I avoid the "what do you do" talk for as long as possible and when it inevitably comes around, I stay broad and vague.

Anyone else or am I just crazy?

So, the question is, how much on common do you want your partner to be like you? (Aside from gender differences and opposite sex equivalents.) Are you an "opposites attract" kind of person, or a "twins couple" kind of person?

Me, I'd say the love of my life had 20-25% of things in common with me. Mostly, intellectual and mentality stuff, which is what I consider the most important thing of all. We had chemistry; the rest is irrelevant.
