are you the type of person who likes to date people like you or people
completely opposite of you. myself ive been attracted to both but would
rather have someone a lil like me so i think that things might last
longer

Sometimes it's better to find opposites, they complement each other.
Similars may very well become a monotonous friendship.

Opposites with some common interest are best. Those interest that are
different may be the complemental part of the relationship.

So do not seek and yet shall find.

To much the same is not good. I think it would get boring . You need a
little bit to compete about every now an then.drinker

Can't agree on this. I think in the long run LIKEs attract, both think
similar & have the same drive. Just have to be willing to compromise.
Frst. wife an opposite = bad time = divorce. Second wife like me = 14
best yrs of my life.
My best friends are like me.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Successful people meet w/successful people.
Read self motivating books, they

hit wrong key SORRY


Motivational books all say, surround your self w/people you want to be
like. Listen, learn, it will surprixe how much faster you succeed.

Try it, really works.

The best relationship I ever had was with a girl who was more like me
than anyone I ever met -- same IQ, same beliefs on politics and religion
and marriage and family and philosophy and authors and people in
general, etc. And we NEVER ran out of things to talk about. It was
truly amazing. I had never experienced anything even remotely like
that, and I'm sure I never will again.

I think similarities are good since having same interests would lead to
fun activities together. Opposites, on the other hand, may lead to new
experiences.

And if the opposites are TOO extreme, it makes it hard to communicate
sometimes. I think you need at least a little bit of common ground to
set up some sort of foundation.

I think the Same background is good. Cause then you will probably have
the same beliefs in upbringing.

I also think that different likes on some things brings something new to
the relationship.

an equal amount of both would be awesome.

I need someone that thinks similar to me.Think maybe the divorce rate is
so high because so many opposites are getting together?

I have a strong personality and need a man with a back bone or it gets
boring for me real fast. I cant be with a real passive man.

I would prefer someone with my interests yes, but on the other hand
having someone completely opposite is just as fine, makes for a bit of a
challenge if u know what i mean

Im with someone who is almost Identical to me and it is the best thing
that has ever happend to me.
It is so easy to hold a conversation with her and she knows what the
hell you are trying to say.
They say opposites attract, well yeah they do. Until you have to explain
what you are talking about and it starts to become a hassle.
