Or when like repels like is it because they're both likely repellent? Is it something else? I think I would be good friends with myself, and I know relationships often start over shared interests, i know a few people who don't like each other cos they are after all more similar to that other person than they'd like to admit (this is without having been friends first, that's another story), but I also know they say opposites attract. I'm intrigued by people who seem very different in personality and seem to rock it. What do you think of opposites attracting? Do you think people who are similar more often repel each other or remain friends?

I'm just sayin', hypothetically.

I personally think the "opposites attract" thing is bullshit. I need to have a lot in common with someone to be friends with them or to date them.

I think for a casual friendship/relationship the opposite thing doesn't matter, but for good friends and real relationships you have to have things in common. Things that people can bond over often start a friendship immediately. Sharing the same taste in music and movies makes a huge difference. Once I met this guy, and I thought he was just some random teenage guy like all the rest, and I'm sure he thought I was some random shallow teenage girl. But we started talking about music and movies and tv shows and we both had a ton of stuff in common, like talking about David Lynch, some indie bands that are mildly popular, Arrested Development, etc. And we're friends now because of that.

My boyfriend and I are a mix of freaky similarities of the "there's only us two in the world" kind, and polar opposites that would lead people to say "there's just no hope for you two". Although we know better than them. There is hope!
