Do you think opposites attract???

Yes,if two persons have completely different tastes and habits they do attract each other. One of the primary reasons being they can complement each other,its like two broken pieces of a pendant getting reunited. But only attraction can't hold a relation for long,because to be together you need to come to a midway and both of them have to come forward. And the distance they have to cross is proportional to the differences they have. So it is very difficult to sustain this kind of relationship no matter how easy it was to get in.

ya i have seen a few of the couples with completely different behaviour making you think that opposites attract.but in the long run the attraction is sustained only when they have some basic similarities among their external differences.

The ideas that you two have in common brought you together is totally bullshitt. it's just the excuses to persuade ourselves that we have a reason to stay with someone or to break up with someone.There are quite many couples going oppposite directions as well as those standing on the same line for most things. The point is that being together is more than like or dislike, especially when a family is born.The way we deal with and responsibilites top the priority.Think about the family arranged marriages where two people were totally igonorant of the other before the wedding, yet they still hang to each other for a whole life.

...Hi there jimmyhalve, There is no doubt that opposites do attract. Couples all over prove this, besides the things that two people that in common, there is that animal attraction, that draws two people together as well. Now the question is, will that attraction be enough to keep them together? Depends, I think you need some things in common to be able to build on something. If you have nothing in common, then you as a couple need to find future things to build a common bond on. If they love each other enough, they will try to make it work. But if there is no trying, there is nothing in common, and no future common bonds, I think the relationship will run out of oxygen. You need some glue "o). Take care. Happy 2010.

I don't believe that opposites attract. In my case, anyway. I usually fall for guys whom I share so many things in common. That's what makes a guy attractive to me, when he shares most of my hobbies and when we have common interests. I get so turned off with guys who have such different perspectives with mine. It doen't mean that a guy should have similar interests as mine for me to like him. It's just that it would be more fun to do activities that both of us like to do. It seems as if it's only in the movies when true opposites attract. I can't imagine it happening in real life.

what's funny about love is that no matter what, it will find a place in one's heart. the movie as you said with two people, each from a different world with no common interest, meet then fall in love, is a plot culminated in the mind of a hopeless romantic as i might say. What makes opposites attract each other? Well, i guess what is unexpected would materialize only if there is something unexplainable by words but comprehended by our hearts.

I have to say there are instances that opposite really attracts each other. I think the reason I say this is because they compliment each other with the differences that they have. For instance, if the man is quiet the woman is big mouthed then one way or another they compliment each other. They each learn the differences they have between them.

Opposites really attract and same repels. It is like a motor battery in a car. For it to move, they should be opposite currents. If they have same contribution currents then It will not move normally. Same with body ions, If all body Ions are same and has no other opposite ion to attract with. There will also be a malfunction in the body.

I beleive opposites attract each other. It is not just happened in movies. In my class before, the worst boy is the best friend of our top classmate. They are still good friends now, and the worst one is not worst, the top one is not the top now.

it's hard to say. whatever men or women ,making friends needs the common interests or lifestyle. if there's no common, they'll have nothing to communicate or they'll quarrel frequently, hard to live together. but the opposites are different infact. men or women are curious to the opposites and want to know that. so they'd live to talk and talk and talk and then fall in love. i think the opposites in some aspect attract each other!

I do and I don't. For example, me and my ex pretty much had nothing in common except for a couple shows we watched on t.v, we spent A LOT of time arguing cause we could not agree on anything, even little things like what got done around the house, or what movie we would go see, where we would go for a drive, we couldn't agree on anything. Me and my Boyfriend has a lot in common, we like the same food, movies, we're both clean people, so me and my boyfriend barley ever argue, and it's amazing, so the whole opposites attract isn't for me.

I think it's possible but it's not general. There are many peoples that feel attraction for a person that have no interests in common. But there are many peoples who feel attraction when the other person have some interests in common, and I think that in this case chances for a good married are bigger than in the other case. I think when the opposites attract it's because one can complete the other. But a relationship when the peoples have same interestes is better and happens more frequently.

Opposites may "attract," because they ultimately "react." That is, the fire that ignites within the relationship is what attracts them. The two people like the push/pull that drives them. In the end, sometimes this is what creates a perfect puzzle, the dynamic tension that holds a knot together when pulled tightly. But, most times, it is the pull that snaps a rope eventually. Mr. Homebody gets tired of being yanked out to parties too often against his will by Miss Life-of-the-party. Or vice-versa. Or, more basic differences, like communication styles can get in the way of the foundation of a relationship. So, while oppoistes may attract in the quintessential Hollywood style of the good girl falling for the bad boy, it doesn't always mean that oil and water mix.
