i guess most of you would agree that opposite attracts... but as for me i can't answer it, i usually find my kind very attracting,,, my kind i mean, doing the same things i'm doing or we have the same favorites. On my past boyfriends i usually like the one with the same hobby as me for we do it together since we both like it, and i hate the one with the opposite of which i like, because we undergo hard times when choosing what to do because i hate what he wants and he hates what i want, so we ended up arguing almost everything... how about you what do you think does opposite really attracts or not really share your views

Yes, it’s possible for opposites to get attracted with each other. I don’t think you need to actually have something in common to fall in love with someone. It just happens and you wouldn’t know it. But I’m not saying that same likes wouldn’t attract either. For me though, I would also prefer my type (same interest). I usually get impatient with someone opposite me and I end up ignoring him. Besides, someone who likes what you like is easier and more fun to have conversations with. I enjoy hanging out with somebody that also enjoys what you like. At least you won’t hear criticisms from him and comparisons from what I do and what he does.

that's what i'm saying also i mean i remember the time on my past boyfriend, he really likes action movies like wars and battles like that, i hate those kinds of movies it was very harsh and tragic i like something comedy or comedy romance, so we ended up in choosing what movie to watch when we go out on a date trust me my friend this is just one example why i really don't believe that opposite attracts

lolz… so you argue a lot because of your differences… that would have been quite frustrating.

Opposites can attract. I've seen it. My best friends brother is married and has a child with a woman that is his opposite. Her brother is the king of nerds. He is REALLY the extreme nerd. He's extremely intelligent. He has so much knowledge that it's insane. He is a hardcore Anime fan, D&D fan, LARP (Live action roleplaying)fan, cosplay fan, Magic the Gathering fan, videogame fan the list goes on. Now his wife, she is what you can say to be the girly-girl, preppy girl type. Like if they were in highschool still, she would be the stuck up girl that only cared about her looks, popularity and the guys that played sports. She would most likely ignore him or make fun of him. She likes pretty much nothing that he does. They have very few common interests yet they're happily married for 7 years now. He's not rich either so it's not just for money like some have thought. I don't know how it worked out. It still confuses me. As for myself, opposites attract never worked. We always got bored and left to date people that had a lot in common. I need someone that is similar to me in a some key areas.

Opposites, not complements. But we accept for the moment, because the common desire of novelty. Identical poles do not attract that do not want that. They accept things evolve as the relationship may become of major importance. Opposite poles at a time honoring their nature (contrast) and everything ends. In contrast, identical poles attract future promises when the relationship. You must learn it's important in terms of a relationship indulgence like opposite poles. And in terms of identical poles have to see that harmony is a very important advantage. The answer in both cases, the answer is new. Do not refuse the opportunity to better know someone who at one point you seem very different. And also not refuse them the chance to know you. And if you get to know a person well and say it's boring but it's nice to sow remember that whenever you can pleasantly surprise you and you have nothing to provoke not surprise you by doing this you first.
