Do opposist's really attract?

Post Reply New Topic

I think they do. My girl is short, strong, and smart. compleat opposite of me.

I can't say the same for myself. Not very attracted to the blonde short shallow computer illiterate chatty extreme socialite with no time on her hands.

Then again I wouldn't mind someone who is well groomed and less hairy than I am.

I think that they can actually. I've never been in a romantic relationship with anyone, but the theory of opposites attracting works in my family.

My mum is, for the most part, entirely opposite to me. She is very NT and sociable (she does have an obsessive personality, though). We've always been really close. I consider her one of my best friends.

My dad, on the other hand, is almost exactly like me. He definitely has ADD, but does have a few AS traits, but he doesn't have AS. The two of us don't get along very well. He is my father, so I love him, but he has all of the traits I hate about myself. I'm currently working on our relationship.

I think that opposites attract to a certain extent. I think that I could only be with someone who is different than myself. If your weaknesses are where their strengths lie, I think that makes a good match.

Physically, of course.. I mean it's pretty easy for someone to be attracted to the opposite of what they look like.

Emotionally wise - sometimes, depending on the different personalities.

Personalities can clash, both the same and different ones.

I think it only looks like opposites attract because when you compare any given two people, the differences are what you notice first. Extreme similarities are noticed second. But the things that are only somewhat different fade into the background and it never even occurs to you to look at them. Two people might look like opposites because one is shy and the other is talkative, one is easygoing and the other is uptight, one is emotional and the other is stoic, etc... forgetting that a true opposite would have complimentary favorite colors, live on the other side of the world, in an opposite socioeconomic class, like totally different types of music and activities, and countless other factors.

it wasn't the opposits that attracted me to pip, I just feel, well, how do I say, content, no thats not the word, only way to discribe it in words is unrivaled joy that knows no bounds. Only afterwards did I notice the diffrences. I cant explain it but I feel that her life is far far far far far more valuble than mine.

i think that there has to be atleast a little friction to keep the relationship going. Some mystery is needed from what i believe. Imagine somebody completely the same as you. That would get boring real quick. However, complete opposites would not be able to understand eachother. that is a serious problem. i try to stay away from different religious and political views but still gotta keep the mystery.

I'm a wee bit diffrent, Pippen is really cool, and I love being with her. But for those of yall who've read the FPA post in the politics and relgion forum know that I'm christian and she is Wiccan. I don't really give a dam* about her religion.

okay, i guess the religion thing works sometimes. Especially with pagans because they see no problem with a person because of their religion. I think that this is also the difference between the conservative(narrow) mind and the liberal(open) mind. sometimes the religion and political beliefs are able to be different in a relationship but normally it just does not work.

When I was 24-34 I had a very
opposite relationship. She was
a Firey person(Aries) and I was
a Airey peson(Libra). It made for
firey sex. The exchange of air
and fire was Wow!. Eventually
her fire had to find other tree's
and plants to move onto, but I
can say opposites attract.

If you are not familiar with
sex magick, then here's how it
works. Since sexual energy
is a pure force, one is invoking
himself into her, and then the
orgasm(her life force) will flow
in return.

Through words at the point of
exchange, on enhances this
force. At a early time, I said
my girlfriend(when I was 24-34)
would absorb too much of this
invoking and I for the first time
saw myself indeliberately in
another. It only happened once,
but it really brought some
"mystery" into how the other
experiences you.

well, you got me stumped RT. i cant really explain this. I got the definitions from websters dictionary. It just seems odd that a conservative christian would date a wiccan.

we were friends a long time before we started dating, we learned to put our politcal views aside like the day we first met. We might not agree with each other, but we do support each other and encourge each other to have our own opionions. Thats one of the reasons that our relationship works so well. Aye, just like I support her in FPA, she supports me with, well, my metal capaicty in public, or lack there of.

You are most likely to form a successful relationship with a person who has similar goals in life as you do. Having similar attitudes toward money is also essential. Most divorces occur as a result of financial matters. Having at least some similar interests is generally preferable, as well. People are usually best paired with mates who are at a relatively similar level of intelligence, as well.
