I personally believe that Opposite do Attracts. I'm currently in a relationship where my likes and dislikes is a complete opposite of what my partner likes and dislikes. But still, we manage to get along very well. So how about you, do you believe in it?

oh well my partner and I are totally opposite and often find ourselves arguing over some things that we don't agree. :( sometimes i kinda get irritated when this happens and would often wish that we're not the OPPOSITE of almost everything. but he always tell me that the best part of being the opposite of each other is that we learn a lot of things within ourselves that we were not aware we are capable of doing. i believe he is right! we still have our petty fights but what makes us glued to each other is the thought that there are spaces in our lives that only the other one can fill. :)

Hello i know many couples who have opposite tastes, opposite views, but they pull on so smoothly..just like you.. Attraction between opposites is established, a north pole attracts a south pole, a positive charge attracts negetive charge.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

Yes it's true because God wants us to be patient and grow matured in our attitude.

I dont believe that two people have to like everything the same to attract one another. If every like and dislike and opinion were the same then where would the conversations come from? It would become boring and monotonoous. Me and my husband do have a fair few things in which are the same such as music likes and places we like to visit though television and film we do not share a huge amount of the same things though give and take when we want to see a film together. We get on extremely well so I dont think it really matters if you dont like everything the same though you do need some of the same things.

yeah, because you will learn from and compliment each other, if two persons are very different they will never be bored together! =)

yes i believe in it and if you guys have different interests you can also learn more with each other^^ anyway i think most part of people are opposite bcs is hard to find someone that has the same likes and dislikes like you i mean all the same so i think that is better when you have different opinions so you can share more^^ anyway im happy to know you have a cute relation^^

carlynganda, There are several issues to discern here, but the essence of this issue can be best corrected and summarized into one sentence: Love is not about looking at each other; but looking together at one collective direction. When a couple shares a parallel view of their individual definition of love, chances are, you will find conflicts with regards to choice, perception and view of life & relationship because in a parallel line, the lines will never meet at point X. This is not an issue of what you want him to know because that depends largely on the sort of wisdom he has. So, to employ dialogue and communication to alter his fundamental belief about love is as challenging as changing one's personality. When you try hanging on both realms, frustration builds up from parallel views that would never meet and eventually things become sour and will implode unsightly. Either you truly convince him to look from where you are looking or you lower yourself to view from his perception because ultimately: Love is not about looking at each other; but looking together at one collective direction.

Opposites do attract. We are more interested in someone who is different than us. Curiosity is a powerful feeling. It can lead to somany different things. Different people offer us excitement we think is missing in our lives. We are certainly attracted to that.

I think a relationship is very important to do a calculation If what you like in a partner is much more than what you are unhappy you can go ahead. If not,then relationship going on...a knife edge

Yes and no. I do believe that opposites attract but depends on the context your asking. I am a boy and i do get attracted to gals.... But it were true then my soft hands would be loaded with hard cash!!!

Yah for me to i do believe in this that opposite attracts. Its just like electricity the negative attracts the positive. That's why there is cathode and anode. If your the same,almost the same when it comes to likes and dislikes it will just take away the fun and adventure of a relationship. There is nothing to explore, no excitement at all coz everything you are the same. At least when you are opposite there is something new to expect hehehehehehehehehe.

Yes thats what is truth of life,ya tats true i am not in relationship yet but i have seen many of my friends in similar situation and yet spending ages together.I strongly believe that likes and dislikes are just part of life where one has to sacrifice for the other and gradually go ahead and spend the life they wish to rather then fighting and repenting for there relationship

well i guess it's true. my partner also is the exact opposite of me. we're in two different characters and personas. at most, we do actually always have the good time filling up each other's lacks. science says "negative attracts positive." rock on

Well, I have some things that defer from me towards my girlfriend, but I don't think all of them would attract them. Like in politics, she is really against one of the groups you were able to vote for. And I was really for it, I really actually would want to vote for. Eventually I don't think it's because shes different from me, that we are together, actually more the same things, so we could really look forward to a future, making a picture of what we want. Perhaps it's in specific relationships that opposites attract, but I don't think it is so within mine. Have a great day though!
