Opposites attract or do they?!?

Hello everyone!

Ive been thinking about this phrase a lot. Its been repeated in a lot of films and 80% of the time it appears to be true. ''Opposites attract'' yeah thats true in the case of magnets😆 but is it true in the case of people.

In many serials today we see that the two romantic leads are as different as chalk and cheese. Take example of our very own Robbie-Kasturi who couldnt be more different as Ekta has made it completely clear.😳

The two meet, hate each other and gradualy fall in love due to their differences amazing isnt it😃 thus proving that opposites do attract but for how long???

The relationship goes smothly for a while and then wham all of a sudden the differences start showing. He's rich and spoilt and does not understand the meaning of love she resolves to become the epitome of values and the two personalities clash😡

My question is this that yes two people who are in every way different from each other can fall in love but can they manage the relationship without constant clashes.People say that if a husband and wife are have different mindsets it usually helps their relationship, what the husband lacks the wife completes and vice-versa

But is really true in the case of K-couples and real-life couples😊

i think it is true, opposites attract because as humans its in our nature to be curious, and our curiousity attracts us to somebody whose totally different from us and we wonder about them and thie rlife style etc.

ya opposite 2 attract coz one always find a person wid opposite nature of ours interesting ;while d person wid nature as same as ours wud b just a mirror image of ourself ;nothing 2 explore.
RK relationship suffered due 2 lack of trust & insecurity .If a couple has trust & mutual understanding ;give space 2 oneanother their relationship can stand any tests.
I hav seen people wid opposite nature havin a steady relationship just d trust ,love & mutual understandin shud b present.

It is very true that opposite attracts.... the more the differences the more a person can maintain his/her individuality and can complete each other.... But the relationship can be maintained provided u understand and respect the person u love.... Communication can clear all the barrier in such cases and so more the differences the couple should talk more about it thus giving an opportunity to the other person to understand you....

In case of RK too if they wud hv just spoken to each other the situation where they got separated wud have not have arised at all!!! The clashes happen agreed but doesn't it adds up to the spice in life.... When u love someone it is ok if the two of u fight at times but again the fight should be between the two of you and u should not allow any third party to interfere in it!!!

Small tiffs and fights just makes a relationship more stronger..... It depends upon u whether u reslove the issues or just blow it out of proportion.... if u know how to resolve the small tiffs then ur relationship is bound to become a strong one but if u don't then it wud end up being a burden on the both the individuals!!!

Opposites do attract but it depends from person to person. For example a guy wid loads of attitude cant live wid a girl wid loads of attitude.. he needs a sweet girl.. So in dat case sometimes its better to marry a person whoz totally different den sum1 like u..So i think it depends from person to person. Some may go for ppl like dem, sum may go for opposites.. But in the end its all based on whom u fall for.. It can be anybody.. Bec before falling for sum1 u dunt think whether hez opposite or like me.. 😳

Great Topic 👏

I think it is very difficult to categorize people as €˜opposites€™ and €˜similar€™. Yes we can differentiate on basis of main characteristics...but even then there can be similarities...even people similar can have different opinions. And one cant generalize failure of two people who are temperamentally different and success of a two minds who think alike.


If two people different from eachother come together in a relationship... if relationship is based on solid grounds then there is nothing like it. Being with a different person enriches ur life... u have a insight into a whole different life... you grow as a person. It is def possible for two different people to break new grounds and find similarities between... there is an endless journey of discovering eachother. If u have the right & Positive attitude towards ur relationship...u end up completing yourself. The beauty of that relationship is that there will be a You, Me and US. There is an individual identity (which is very important these days esp because women are more independent) and when u come together...there is nothing missing!

And partners being similar isnt a success all the time. Imagine U get someone similar to Robbie for Robbie....impulsive, short tempered, immature, bratish...all i can see is one of them will in jail for murdering the other😕 or fighting a real ugly divorce case😕😆. In this case being similar is just NOT good news. And one disadvantage in this scenario will take the other person for granted... you are expected to have this perfect understanding, which is too demanding. And there might be complacency in your relationship...what u lack as individuals u will lack together aswell. There isnt individualism...it will be just US!

So my take will be 'opposites' complete eachother, whereas the 'Similars' can only compliment eachother.

At the end of the day A relationship regardless of being opposites or similar strives on Love, respect, Understanding, space and communication. When u say u r in Love...u accept the person the way they are(I am not talking abt attraction, I am talking Love)You have to respect your difference, Understand the other person. Personal Space is far too important atleast for today's generation. And Communication...if U want to say something, Say It because No one is a mind reader. And yes compromise is another aspect that holds the key to the success of a relation... You should be able to take a call on issues u can compromise on and issues u cant.

Once again a very thought provoking topic, I am glad u put it up.

rajeev_aamnafan1,

I loved the topic and I almost missed reading it!!!
Read all the POVs and everybody is right.

Here is what I have to say :
If both the partners are of the same kind
Advantages:
1) Less time will be wasted arguing about situations, things can be get done quickly 😆.
2) One does not feel that he/she is always adjusting for the other and that his/her opinion is not being implemented.

Disadvantages:
1) Life gets very monotonous!!!!
2) A different angle or a different viewpoint
(maybe a better one) for a given situation will be never found as both think about a given situation in the same manner.

If both the partners are of the opposite kind
Advantages:
1) Lots of spice in life!!! Lots of fights followed by a lot of making up. The relationship of opposites will take you to such highs and such lows, that it will leave you breathless!!!!!(personal experience 😛 )
2) Lots of variety. Things get done differently, maybe better, because nobody wants to give up his or her idea so soon, hence things will be discussed thoroughly.
3) Your character/personality will really develop because you are dealing with a person day in and day out who does not agree with you, there is more chance of conflicts, arguments, criticism etc. And this helps you to become more mature and develops the qualities of adjustability, acceptance and forgiveness.

Disadvantages:
1) Biggest disadvantage is the high chances of both partners separating. Specially in the initial stages and if they are the kind who don't believe in compromise. Ego conflicts will be high, anger will be an issue.
2) A lot of patience will be needed on both sides. Knowing when to draw the line, knowing which battles to fight and which not to, will be very crucial. Basically a lot of effot and involvement will be needed from both partners!!!!! It will NOT be a bed of roses.

So, I believe both kinds of couples will have high chances of success, it completely depends on how they contribute to the relationship. Where there is a will there is a way.

In reality it is true tht unlike poles attract in different situations, but in Kekta soaps if unlike poles attract than it means khatray ki ghanti😆it means the love birds are on their way to suffer drastic consequences of loving each other, and strangly if the like poles attract it is also the sign of the judai of 2 love birds😆kisi hallmain chain nahi😆
