Do opposist's really attract?

Opposites attract.

Narcissists attract.

I believe that the more two people are alike, the more likely it is that they are just falling in love with themselves.

From my experience, i can assure you this is what I went through.

Opposites attracted (social butterfly and extrovert, manipulative and liberal vs intellectual, introvert, honest and moderately conservative), but it only lasted a short while. For some reason, we now hate eachother. I wonder why

Opposites attract and then they drive each other insane!

Opposite of me eh.. lets see;

Obese
Uneducated
Doesn't read
Fundamentalist religious nut
Racist, homophobic
Brown eyes, pitch black skin
Eats fast food / cooks in the microwave
Completely lazy and oblivious in the bedroom
Capitalism loving right-winger

Yeaaaaaaaaaa, I'll pass


But in all seriousness, I've never had success in a relationship with an "opposite", in fact the things we were polar opposites on (sometimes social skills, life goals, interests etc..) were the central issues in the relationship.
