***That’s how the saying goes …Right !
So if opposites attract then why is it that when we are looking for a potential mate we look for similarities and commonalities ? (is that a word:konfused:)
Should we not in fact concentrate on behaviours and likes that are opposite of ours so as to balance each other out ?***
OR is all that Opposites Attract just hype ?***
Re: Opposites Attract
perhaps its just about the opposite gender and not the personalities etc. 
Re: Opposites Attract
opposite attracts a disaster.:D
Re: Opposites Attract
For some it works for some it doesn’t!
(Probably the most vague answer you’ll read) :hinna:
Re: Opposites Attract
Opposites do attract in some cases, yes.
A not-so-social person might seek someone who is more social so they can break out of their shell.
I think we should look for people who compliment us well. They carry something we lack and vice versa.
Re: Opposites Attract
Mostly it is a hype. In songs and media.
Before marriage, mostly similarities attract. But exceptions do occur.
It is after marriage if one is different than other one continues to like the other despite different likings or perspectives on life affairs. Minor differences.
Major differences are recipes for disaster.
Minor differences are recipes for 'stimulation'.
Re: Opposites Attract
But to tell you the truth, I would like some one different.
I don’t like doing boring stuff. I would find a wife who does.
Like paper work.. planning…thinking…
She would be doing it all.

Re: Opposites Attract

Work around the house and stuff.
Re: Opposites Attract
***I’ve always believed that having someone with opposite character traits would be a good thing…I’d like a person who was not as impulsive or emotional or short tempered as me , someone who was more calmer and in control , more laid back…strike a balance !

Re: Opposites Attract
We go for similarities because we find them easy to adjust to . I am not sure if this saying is even correct . May be for a magnets but certainly not for humans . For the same reason people like to marry a person from same culture and background .
I've either heard or read that according to (research?) relationships are more likely to be successful if the the couple has more similarities.....especially regarding major aspects (education, religion, etc).
Being opposite to one another in smaller things....such as preference for movies, likes/dislikes....adds some interest and spark. But extreme differences and too many of them may make things more challenging.
I wouldn't treat the "opposites attract" saying is black or white. Because you have to factor in what those "opposite" qualities are and how many of those "opposite" qualities there are. Type and amount would make a difference, I think.
Also, I've noticed that opposite temperaments can sometimes be better for a relationship. For example, I know of two couples where the wives are very domineering and loud and high strung.....and their husbands are more relaxed and patient. And had these women married someone who was just as domineering and headstrong as them....I doubt it would last very long.
