So, they say opposites attract, and I'm just wondering if anybody has found this to be true or false.

Normally I date boys who are similar to me, basically who are into the same things and ideals.

But...I'm trying to branch out, so...this new boy that I'm dating is my total opposite. He's a jock, I'm a hippie. So far so good. Suprisingly better then i would have expected actually.

My current guy is pretty much an opposite to me...at least when it comes to certain things. I do believe there does have to be a little bit of similarity though.

He's into cars & TV. I hate cars and don't watch TV. He's fat & eats unhealthy. I'm very much a healthfreak & thin. He doesn't get caught up in trends and expensive designer clothing. I'm a clotheshorse who jumps on every fashion trend.

The stuff that really matters we both have in common though. Both comparable education, comparable jobs, both want the same things out of life & have similar morals & values...but in terms of our interests & hobbies, we are completely different.

And it works.

the guy i'm seeing is quite my opposite. he's into classic rock, motorcycles and video games, he's also very fit.

however we connect so well that the things we do have in common make our differences seem very small.

in fact i enjoy learning from him and he's opened my eyes to new ideas and things and i've done the same. the fact that he's gone from loving heavy metal and "guy" rock to being a huge sigur ros fans amazes me!

my boyfriend and i are COMPLETE opposites! maybe this is why i want to kill him sometimes (see other thread lol) but.... we get along so well the rest of the time that it really does just make the differences fade away.

he is so different from me, so understanding and kind (not that i'm not kind or understanding, he's just reaaaally kind and understanding) and so good with people. he's really changed me! and as for him, i never thought i'd hear him singing along to any bobby darin songs, but it has happened lol!

my bf and i are opposites.
i think it takes some more work to make the relationship last when you have very little in common, but it can be worth it.

the only things we have in common are a couple television shows that we both like. that's IT. but it does make things more interesting i think.
