My two best friends are my exact opposite they are the quite type but they have a sense of humor that's why our friendship was still strong for 14 years now.
They say Opposite really attracts because sometimes you want to find what the things you dont have to other so that you can develop it too.
I can say my husband had some trait that is my exact opposite but that made me real close to each other because we learn to appreciate what trait we dont have and learn to really accept it.
Do you have your own friends with your exact opposite?

Yes!!! I do have my best friend who is my exact opposite. She hates numbers, and even sent me as a proxy in her math finals!!! Too glad her teacher has poor eyesight that she didn't even recognize her students LOL!!!
She loves artworks, the one hobby i would never get myself into. She has a shop in their town, and I'm quite proud of her. She is making a living our of her passion. she gives me some stuff but just couldn't find the heart to like them, that's why they're stacked up in my display cabinets... well... my hubby's taking care of the cleaning and arranging the displays...my hubby... my other opposite.
But there are few good things that bind us together... music, poetry...parenting...and scriptures. Me and my best friend don't belong to the same religion but we respect each other's views on our faith.
Oh, how I miss her... haven't seen her for quite some time.

I can tell we have so much thing in common and that we value our best friend no matter how funny it seems that we are her exact opposite.
It is real friendship because it goes beyond the thing we can explain yet the real essence of friendship is there.
I really do hope you can see your best friend soon! Thanks g_aileen09!

No I do not have any friends that are exact opposite attitude to mine, yes I know that they do say that opposites attracts each other and maybe this is why you friendship has lasted so long but with my 2 best friends I have been friends with these two women for years one for 36 years and one for 20 years so at least our friendship has been tested and lasted this length of time and we are always there for each other.

I have a couple of friends who are quite different than me. But that hasn't come in the way of our friendship.It's weather you like the person and how much you understand and trust her,is what makes friendship successful than having a mirror image of the mindset that you possess.

My best friend and I disagree on just about every political issue there is, but we can discuss and debate issues without fighting about them. When it comes to other things, we think exactly alike, such as in the case of religious beliefs. I believe that if someone is too much like you in too many ways you would clash and not get along well. It's good to be able to appreciate each other's differences and to grow from each other's viewpoints.

hi,maribel.
I think this is real friendship.
A simple friend thinks the friendship is over after you have an argument...but a real friend konws it is not a friendship till you had a fight.
A simple friend expects you to ve there for them...but a real friend expects to always be there for you!!!
You are lucky for have two real friends. I hope I can meet these mens. Good luck to you!

I can say I was lucky enough to have bestfriends who are always there for me no matter what my moods are and very open to deal with my shortcomings and share my sentiments in life no matter what are different traits are.
I know a person such nice as you will find a friend that really deserve your friendship. Thank you qiuyishui!

I have very few friends which have the same attitudes as me. I find most people don't agree with me being a vegan but I have to accept that other people don't have the same veiws as me and get on with my life or else I wouldn't have any friends.

Thier is indeed magic in friendship because even we dont really agree with some things we ended up laughing with the matter and the relationship ties grew stronger.
Thanks michelledarcy!!

yes opposites attract and it has a strange reason too.You know the person completes each other and acts as teacher to the other one.The survival of fittest is the theory.you are attracted to your oppositye because there is an instinct to be fit i.e perfect and that you can only be by learning traits from your exact opposite.

It is always good to have at least one friend and having the opposite does attract. I married my friend and she hates lots of the stuff I do and I also hate the stuff she does.
You know what! We cannot get along without each other.
Really strange but true.
Thanks for this topic and many people should respond to this one.
Thanks for being my friend and I do hope you are enjoying your local country sine I am enjoying mine.

My wife is exact opposite of what I believe in. I hate spedning any amount but she likes shopping. I detest parties, but she again likes them. I enjoy long walks in gardens, but she disapproves them.

Yes, I have a friend who is my exact opposite. This doesn't conflict with our friendship because we both know that we are adults and respect each other. :)

When we say opposite's attract, we are usually referring to lovers or life partners... Not sure about friends. I don't really have any friends with my total opposite outlook on life... maybe I should start looking. I certainly have friends who share opposite opinions, but generally are the same as me.. hehe.
Thanks.
