Put the positive sides of a magnet together and you get nothing, the same happens with the negative sides, but if you take one positive and one negative they instantly connect, opposites attract. Many will take this saying and apply it to relationships, they say thats why good girls like bad guys. Lets be realistic for a second, can to complete opposites really get along blissfully for the rest of their lives? The old addage says opposites attract...and then they attack. Sure in the beginning the lure of someone different is appealing. Someone who doesn't think like you, talk like you, live like you...basically act the way you do, but how long can these two truly be happy together? Lets face it, after a while the little things start to annoy, everything straight down to the way they chew their food. For all of us who have dabbled with the idea of entertaining an opposite we know how quickly and how badly things can go south. It;s just one of those laws of nature that can't be circumvented. Don't get me wrong, as always there are a few exceptions to the rule but those are few and far in between. My advice, get someone who is like you mentally, interest wise, spiritually, and in whatever other way tickles your fancy. Remember this: A house divided cannot stand.

continue to voice you opinion and you will inspire others to speak up too.
look at the young'n trying to drop relationship advice! lol i totally agree, though. i never understood why people hooked up with someone they have absolutely nothing in common with. the excitement is fun, at first, but reality quickly sets in.
When it comes to relationships, people really never know what is in store for them. Every new relationship allows you to learn something new about yourself and what makes and sustains the union you have with your partner.
The degree of seriousness that is placed upon a relationship determines how much effort, time, emotional commitment and personal growth you are prepared to experience throughout this time of sharing all of who you are with this person.
As for opposites attracting, I see a parallel to the adage “ the grass is always greener on the other side”, because it can undoubtedly be stated that usually the grass I stand on is just as green as the patch in the distance. I think, it is our deepest doubts and personal insecurities that drive us away from what we know about ourselves to seek the unknown found in a new partner. As an entity, people too often take themselves for granted and ignore their true brilliance. So to compensate for the qualities they assume they lack, there is a yearning to dare to be different. To explore what is attractive because it is not a replica of who they are, or what they are accustomed to appears to be the common answer. This venture leads us on a voyage. The voyage of our souls and hearts to drift off and take the opportunity to fill the void, the void that we seek to be filled by deep passion, security and endless joy.
Whether we find a long lasting relationship with the contrapositive, or our identical, the whole purpose of the desired union is one based upon a connection that endures all obstacles and can combine all types of personal love: eros, a love of desire, agape, a brotherly love, and philia, an affectionate regard for their partner. Every relationship we have along the way represents a self-defining time in our lives, but it is up to you to decide how and by who you want your life to be defined before you get involved in a new one.
me and my significant other are opposites if you never knew of any..lol I like all types of food he's picky, i like to take warm showers, he likes hot showers....im right-handed he's left handed. I think this fact makes everyday i spend with him a learning experience. accepting without adapting but through compromise is the key.
This is really good advice. Keep peaching(lol) your opinion, this is going to take you places in life and you are helping others. i never understood why people always say opposites attract. I believe you need somethings in common with your partner to be happy and have a good relationship.
