Maybe they like people who aren't like them. Maybe their getting bored of the same people? I really really have no idea.

Yeah, sometimes they might. I'm really shy, but I would go for an outgoing guy. And my boyfriend and I are kinda opposite in that way; but our opposites compliment each other.

Think of it this way....if you fell in love with someone with everything in common with you, don't you think that the relationship would be a little boring???

i think they do because my friends have been with many guys but the guys that are diffrent from them tend to last longer in a relationship than the ones that you have way to much in common.
and i agree with ^ it would get boring if you were in a relationship w/ someone that has alot in common with you. |

I think they do to a certain extent.
like I'm pretty shy, not relaly really shy, but pretty shy, and I'm a singer an stuff. and I gotta tlel you guys who sing do not atract me...but hten again..must guy singers are gay so but I do see alot of couples where they are complete oposites, but somehow ti works out...you alwyas need one optomistic and one pesimist in the hosue...that way they complement each other. same with my mom and dad, htey are pretty different, but they fit together quite nicely. hmm |

Um skating is just an interest. Just because you're a skater doesn't make you preppy or girly. I mean, I skate and I care about how I look. But.. I don't think the whole opposites attract thing applies for all because I find absolutely no interest in jocks and stuff.

yea sumtimes they can work, but with the couples i see, its more of a clash of lifestyles that's keeping them apart. i'd say that yea, they can attract if there's comprimise b/w the ppl, but other than that, it can be hard to really feel the same about a relationship.

Absolutely postively NOT! My psychology book says no, proximitity, attraction, and SIMILARITY play roles in our relationships. It is better when a couple love many things together, instead of just each other.

Myer's Psychology book, read it, its great! I mean there are differences, and in some cases opposites have to attract, otherwise you know, everyone would be gay or lesbian. But when it comes to extreme opposites with what we value the most, it doesn't work. I hate war, it is senseless, stupid violence, and I think it should be avoided more often. I would be completely disgusted with someone who glorfied war. I have a friend that doesn't really like war either, he doesn't feel as strongly as I do, but we still have disputes on the topic. I say it should be avoided more often, he says that sometimes we don't really have any other choice. I say what so patriotic about getting your guts blow out all over the place, that the horrible ways people suffer and die over there is not worth being patriotic for. He says it is patriotic. We argued that one for awhile. For example, you have a guy, he loves kids and wants to make some babies, kinda like me

When they talk about "Opposites Attract", it's not talking about "Sterotypical Opposites". "Personality Opposites" is what it's talking about
My friend and her boyfriend are total opposites xD My girl-friend is a cheerful, positive person, and her boyfriend is a quiet, broody and negative person. They argue a lot, but they fight like a married couple, so it's okay |

Nobody cares what you are.
Whether you're a "skater" or a "prep" they only care if you're hot or not. It's the truth. |

I am usually attracted to people completely opposite of me. I am quiet so I usually go for guys that are loud (not stupid loud) and sponteous

QUOTE(SSJ Kenshin @ Jun 5 2005, 5:03 PM) yeah my boyfriend and i are really, really different in some areas. like the other day we were walking down the hall talking about english class and i was like blah blah blah, AP next year and he was like blah blah blah failing level three... and i was like, well. that's peachy. who are you? but we have a lot of serious stuff in common. anyway, if you mean "attracts" as in a realtionship... i think it definitely depends on the people. relationships are work, you know? and i think if you like someone enough you become extremely comfortable with them to the point where you're so used to the things about them that are opposite to you that they don't seem so strange and different anymore. i'm sure that made infinite amounts of sense. aye. |

yes, i think opposites attract. maybe not all the time, but at least always for me.
see i can be pretty quiet sometimes, and i get so caught up in what other people want, and i'd rather hear about other people's problems than my own. but i am in NO WAY attracted to guys like that. NEVER. not ever. see i always end up falling for obnoxious, loud, cocky guys. i think it's because we balance each other out, you know? but i can still understand guys like that, so it all works out i guess... |

I was going to chose yes, but then again, it's not a definate for everyone. Like my first time to having a relationship, and my last ><, we were completely different. It seemed like things would work out, but in the end, it didn't. & it was only for a month and we hardly did anything. Then I realized that we were just too different. Like he was not the type of guys I usually go for and that time, I did. But we didn't like the same thing and such. He was totally fobby and I'm a CBC. It doesn't work for me. Then again, he would speak in Cantonese and I would speak in English, so I guess it was partially due to communication and interests.

Think about it, if you date someone thats just like you, you'd be dating yourself, whats fun there?
So of course opposites attract, it makes it fun to be around someone different. |

My current relationship is practically the whole "opposites attract" dealio.
I mean I'm sure two people could still have similar interests (minor things), but seriously, it's more fun with people who are different. You'll learn more about different interests and you'll also see different perspectives on certain issues. |

I'd say sometimes. It may not work for all people.
I think it'd make the relationship more interesting, though. There'd be a nice balance, and it wouldn't be as boring as if you both liked the exact same things. |

I think relationships of any kind have nothing to do with labels. That shit's so stupid. If you're attracted to someone, it doesn't matter what they wear or who they hang out with. Doesn't get much more complicated than that.

i think it could go either way. everyone always "wants what they cant have" right?? so..in my opinion..youre attracted to the ones who are opposite than you since you dont have that quality in yourself. thennn it could also go the other way, where you two are SO opposite that you dont agree on anything, you dont get along, etc..
