Who would you prefer?

I have heard people saying that they like someone 'caz he/she likes the same thing that they like .. etc .. ..

My question is .. what would you prefer in your life partner .. ..

  • The one who has same liking, dislikings etc
    OR
  • the one who is way different from you .. ??

Re: Who would you prefer?

different....but not in every aspect (values etc,)......but for the most part

Re: Who would you prefer?

someone who is way different than me would suck.

someone who is completely like me would suck.

someone who can agree and disagree with me is justtttttt right.

Re: Who would you prefer?

same...different can be anything but not what you like to be or prefer to be with.

Re: Who would you prefer?

he shd be little bit like me like agree wid me in evrythinggg

and i think our choiceee shd be same ;)

The one who has same liking, dislikings but not the same exact likings in everything. But of course her personality and looks matter much more ;) .

Re: Who would you prefer?

okay .. for me .. she should be different. I belive, that i would not have a new perspective in life if both of us will think same, like same things and dislike same things.

I want someone .. who should look at every single moment of life from different perspective than mine, so that we can both, have broader view of every single thing we gona do .. .

its like, i like Vanila ice cream, she likes vanila, then whole life we are gona eat vanila .. .. but if i like vanila, she like chocolate then some day she is gona try vanila, some day i am gona eat chocolate or some day we gona mix it together for something new. . .. .. to have spice in life ..

similar things make it boring for me . :$

Re: Who would you prefer?

^:cb: Vanilla and Chocolate

Yup..ur right! I like my guy to be different too..but we should have the same values in life..but everything else, I dnt mind him to be different.

I dnt need him to be wrapped around my little finger..that would bore the hell out of me..I need to have some arguments and debates about some of the things in life…to make it interesting.

Re: Who would you prefer?

yeah .. exactly @ debates .. and thats one of the reason that omst of the girls freak me out when i see 'em .. saying YES to every single tihng their hubby says .. .. they don't even think .. and say YES .. :@ .. .. .. It freaks me out ..

btw - why u laughed at my xample .. it was great ananlogy .. isn't it ?

Re: Who would you prefer?

^Yeah it was good… :cb:

I love having debates…and I love to WIN them too..specially when I know that I am right…but I never continue the debate into the next day..unless the debate takes place in the night :cb:

To each his own, but I find the highlighted bit to be unreasonable and idealistic.

"Every" single moment of life...and "every" single issue will NOT be seen from a "different" perspective. There may be many times during the relationship where you and her will have similar opinions and views about various issues. I've even heard that (according to some research that I can't remember) that extreme opposites have a harder time making the relationship work, rather a couple needs some common ground to bring them together.

And she doesn't HAVE to be different in everything. What if you like vanilla...and she likes vanilla.....but you both like vanilla for DIFFERENT reasons? You might like to eat vanilla plain...she might like to top vanilla with banana and hot fudge. It's kind of like watching the same movie and having your own unique interpretation of it. Similarity can have "different" takes on it....and that too can be exciting.

Re: Who would you prefer?

when i said .. she has to be different at every single thing .. I meant that she should have differnet point of vie w.. we can discuss/debate on things to make things working .. .. its all seem spice to me .. ..

most of the girls are spontaneous anyways. its almost unpreditctable what is going in girls mind. so the the question applies only for room-mates, and not for men-women couple.

Technically, this is an incorrect question. There is only a limited set of thinking which can be shared and agreed between a man and a woman. Hence, agreement on a limited number of things does not necessarily mean a holistic consensus.

However, personally, I believe I am an open and a compromising person and my preference was always for someone way different than me.

Re: Who would you prefer?

I would like my 3rd wife to be of same profession as mine . LONG way to go . Ahh . . . life being a man is not easy .

Re: Who would you prefer?

*2nd choice :@:
*

girls are always different

silly silly ppl

Re: Who would you prefer?

i prefer ur partner having similarities same as urs

it makes life a point 1% easier to live :wink:

Re: Who would you prefer?

well his values need to be similar to mine

like, he should have an Islamic mind

as far as minor stuff like which flavor of icecream he likes, or whether the food should be spicy or not-so-spicy... this stuff doesn't really matter

Re: Who would you prefer?

His values should be similar

His views should not be that much dissimilar...we cannot clash on everything because that is what makes life so hard.

Offering a different perspective is one thing but being different in everything doesnt make life spicy...it makes life difficult.
