Search Results: opposites attract

Most people living in western counties would say hell no to this (for the most part me included).

But in other parts of the world there are arranged marriages where love is supposed to come later. Even back in 1800s and earlier people would often get married through community arrangements. One family knew another and the parents thought that their sons and daughters would make a good match. Even the ancient Spartans had this weird marriage ritual where they put young men and women together in a dark cave. Whoever opposite gender you grabbed first and walked out with into the light would become your spouse.

I have to wonder how often people ended up with someone they weren’t attracted to. However divorces were way less common many years ago. If so many people were really that miserable with their arranged marriage you would have to think there would be some serious mental health issues and more violence back then. But at least historically this wasn’t the case.

Inspired by this random GAG question I came across here. It's a bit sloppy with the poll choices though, so I simplified it a bit.

1. Would you date a really amazing biological girl who looked like a guy/transwoman, or a biological guy who looked like a girl/low-effort transman? They have a 10 out of 10 personality and are everything you want in personality, but they look like the opposite gender to the point of coming off transgender (they're biologically "cis," however).

2. Would you date a great, awesome girl or guy who was 100+ pounds (45+ kg) overweight? They're at least 350 pounds; bare minimum, and are comfortable with their weight and who they are, physically. They have an 8 out of 10 personality. They're 80% of everything you could ever ask for in personality, and the missing 20% are more minor details.

3. Would you date a decent girl who was six inches taller than you, or a guy who was six inches shorter than you? They're also the same weight as you, but they have a pretty face. They have a 6 out of 10 personality and are the majority of everything you want in personality, on top of being super-attracted to you and want to jump your bones in bed. They're not ideal, but they're heavily attracted to you.

4. Or option D; die a virgin, having never even been hugged by the opposite gender before (or same gender, if you're into that.) Your social skills will be terrible, to the point you'll come off autistic or like you've got Asperger's. And the only thing worse than that will be your personal hygiene. You'll remain thirsty until the day you die and never know love, sex, or companionship.

WHICH ONE WOULD YOU RATHER DATE, IF THESE WERE YOUR ONLY OPTIONS?
