Absolutely! My husband and I couldn't be happier with one another. We are absolutely nothing alike, which makes neither of us bored with the others conversations. Each of us are constantly trying "new" things, because it's nothing we have ever thought about doing.

I happen to think there is quite a lot of truth in this saying. I think that a relationship is a partnership and that both partners contribute different things to the relationship. If the partners are too similar and contributing too much of the same thing, then this is where problems can arise. As a weak example, imagine both partners are quite fiery tempered. They will always be arguing, neither of them will back down. But if one partner is quite calm and the other has a temper, then this balances out. Arguments are resolved and the calm partner is probably a good influence on the fiery tempered partner. If people are too similar, I think its a negative because personalities clash and there is competition. I think a good relationship is one where you bring out the best in each other and when your opposite traits come together to form a complete whole.

i have come to the conclusion after a couple of seriously wonky long romantic commited relationships that yes opposites do attract but no they dont work for the long run...your differences start to pull you in opposite directions and can also cause irritation and lack of understanding for each other...on the other hand i have a friend that i have had romantic entanglements with along with ongoing great friendship(and we have been friends for years) but i know that we will probably get together inbetween other relationships forever because we are so close and have so much in common that we always have a common ground to fall back on together...it works and even though we are not together as a couple and dont have any particular desire to be...we have said to each other that what we do have is forever...its good...;0)

Yes, to a degree. If you're TOO opposite, then that's not a good match. I know personally that having enough likenesses and differences in a relationship makes it interesting and balanced. It's like the yin and the yang.

Differences in a relationship can give the couple more to talk about and seperate time from each other - but if it goes to the extreme where they have nothing in common - then thats a problem. You just need to find a good balance! xx

Yes. If you are with someone who is EXACTLY like you, it will be boring. There needs to be some differences so that everyday isn't exactly the same. If you're with someone who has different interests than you, chances are you will become more open-minded and learn of more new things.

yes, how boring would life be if you just dated people the same as yourself.
Common interests are good, but you need the spark and challenge of an opposite to keep things interesting.

It's a proper saying - from physics, when dealing with magnets. A positive charge attracts a negative charge :)
