hello friends!!!!!! m back after a hiatus- only to go back to it soon- cant help it- stuck with a nasty PC problem🤢
anyway.the question that im about to disuss in my topic, is about the popular notion that "opposites attract"
this theme has long been used and capitalized upon in a great many show, esp television shows where they show a geeky guy falling for the college diva, or the hero of the college going head over heel at the quiet reticent back-bencher girl..........which makes me wonder,,,,,,,,,,,,is it the same way in real life? ar such alliannces possible where one partner is the characteristic nemesis of the other? and even if they do, can it last?
hope to get some well-thought-out answers......

They will stay together longer if they have children and the wife is the one that is pretty and the guy not so handsome but well behaved. 😊

Some men are very cruel too.
Depends on the kind of company he keeps too.

The thumb rule of "Demand-Supply" applies here too. If one knows the rule, then its self-explanatory😛

Opposites attract.....mind alikes lasts.

If someone is completely opposite you in terms of culture/thoughts/lifestyle then that pyar becomes impossible 😆...there is a limit to everything and the limit to how different you can be from each other yet love and survive with each other. I am the bubbly and chatty type but i am attracted to the quieter and shy type of boys, i think they are just soooooooo cute, the idea of having someone just listening to my random chat 24/7 with a smile on their face , the thought of that idea makes me smile. 😳😆 However the guy needs to be similar to me in other terms, like his mind has to be similar to mines, our thoughts have to match, our culture has to match, our lifestyle has to match then when everything else is alike and only our personality is slightly opposite then the attraction is there and the chemistry would last............forever. 😳😆

Oh also.....sometimes it becomes necessary to have someone who is opposite you in terms of personality in order to stay together. I think its better to stay with someone who is opposite you in terms of personality but similar in terms of mind.

Here are few examples

Cool Temper and hot temper = Go together...the hot temper needs cool temper to calm the temper down 😆 if both are hot tempered then you see the disaster...if both are cool, then their is no hotness in their chemistry 😆

Loud and Shy - Go together - When one speaks, the other listens....when one speaks the other listens, when one speaks the other listens - if both speak who would listen? 😆 and if both listen who would speak? 😆

Messy and tidy - go together - My mum is tidy, my dad is messy - its soo cute when they argue over why his shoes are not in their proper place or why the cup has been misplaced 5cm from its normal place 😆...it livens up cute arguments in the relationship - if both were messy then the house would stink and if both were tidy then their house would boring...to make the house a home, cute arguments does the trick. 😆

Okay anyways ill stop here, you might think i am uttering rubbish...but its what i believe 😛 opposites do attract..but their has to be a limit and their mind has to be alike

Xoxo

According to me opposites attract,is true to an extent,its mostly because most of time its possible that one is attracted to a person with some qualities that one doesnt posses, sometimes we try to explore those qualities and so get attracted to them.

Yes I think such alliances are possible where a partner is opposite to outher in terms of having some characteristic,but i do agree the opposite thing shouldn't be "too"extreme specially when they fail to understand each outher,they can be together being "opposite" if they care/understand each outher

But if talking about only "looks"its very rare that opposites get attract(geek guy falling for diva)because most of time geeky one isn't noticed. 😆 And its impossible to get attracted to "geeky ,ugly" person ,if only looks are concerned.

Very well put up👏
I fully agree to you,a slight change in personality but similar minds makes a couple get along really well😊
@Topic:Well I believe anyone can attract you whether similar or opposite,not everyone feels comfortable or finds opposite attractive and not all are uncomfortable with people who are entirely opposite to them.
I guess if you feel comfortable with someone even if the person is entirely different from you still you can marry him.Sometimes we don't get along well with those who are so alike us,so the point is it's true that sometimes we are attracted toward others coz of the qualities they possess but it doesn't last long.
