Do Opposites Attrack ?

I am with you on this issue. Rather than opposites attracting as we are often told - I think the opposite is true! lol. I think like attracts like. Except in the case of magnets. I see examples of this all the time - do we not get excited when a friend or love enjoys the same things as we - or says the same thing we say at the same time? doesn't that give us a thrill and we state "we have so much in common"! another example is right here at mylot- I look at my friend's discussions and see the people who are answering along with me are other people on my friend's list. We enjoy the same things - and we enjoy eachothers discussions for the very reason that LIKE attracts LIKE. :)

I agree that it can work either way it is who we meet and what we feel for them that is the main attraction for keeping two people together because it doesn't matter if opposites attract or two people that are the same as there has to be something there that attracted you to the person even before you got to find out what your idea's of fun were in life or what one percieved to be the right way to do something . My husband and I are totally different and have been together since we were in school . Seventeen years later we are happily married and five beautiful children but I don't believe that our interests are what keep us together , it has a lot to do with hard work on keeping our relationship going as all relationships have to be worked on to keep them going . Like anything else in life if you let your relationship slack you end up having problems that will have to be worked out or will end up not lasting .

I think opposites do attract, but it can only work if both people are willing to try and make it work. I mean, if both people truly love eachother, and truly want the relationship to work, despite any differences they may have, they're going to make it work because they truly care about eachother and don't care that they are different. But the thing is, you're never going to find someone that's completely perfect and matches you completely, that just will not happen. So sometimes you just have to make time for someone that is different than you are, and sometimes those are the best relationships because you two can grow together and learn new things.

it depends on someone's situation. individually speaking we vary on someone's like and dislike. it may apply to someone's opposite attract but it might also not apply. in some cases it work and some dont. but i think what matters is where we think we work. before i had tried a relationship that we have the same interests and likes but it didnt worked. and i also tried a relationship that we dont have the same interests and likes in some ways but it also failed. its really hard to choose which one is for you but i guess once you have it take good care of him or her. what also matter is whom we are now are the one we love and who loves us.

Oh, I believe that opposites do attract. In magnetic fields that is. LOL If you are talking about human relationship, or more accurately that of romantic relationship between two people, than I would say the cliche is nothing but pure nonsense. It does not matter weather or not you are the opposite of your partner (in whatever way). What matters is that you really do care for your partner. If you do, then you can work out all the differences and equality between you. The matter of differences and equality only arises and become issues when instead of caring for your partner, you care for your relationship only, in a selfish way. All people are unique. So, you and your partner will have differences. That is a fact. Instead of pondering weather that difference attracts you or distract you, why not just indulge in that difference and try to accommodate her/him in your life We are not some kind of mechanical clock work. There is no definite way we behave towards anything. There is no law that bind us. We are human being. The limitless being. Lets not bind ourself with stupid cliches. Lets just live and enjoy our loved one. Differences and all!

Opposite attract for sometime and then realise that They are too far from each other

Yes they do attract but you don't feel this for everyone you only feel for that special someone. I myself got attracted to my girl six years back and till now we are carrying on. She got attracted to me and i also got attracted to her. It happens only to the special few and i am one of them.

i think opposites attrack. My husband is very outgoing, and I'm very quiet. He was even president of the Cattle Association and I'm a vegetarian. I used to get lots of teasing at their banquets when they'd serve steaks and then I'd have fish. But, we get along very good.

ya really opposite attract men get attracted to women very fast because of their looks and women also get attracted to men who have money as well as good looks
