Do opposites attract ? Ded fkn srs

[dogorman7]

this is something I’ve noticed a lot


A lot of the preppy, hippy or cookie cutter/npc chicks are always really into me and show me the most affection

A lot of my cute lays have been this type


On the other hand ...

Alot of the heavily tattooed , goth , punk , alt , etc type of chicks always treat me like I’m ugly or act stuck up and bitchy as ****

Could I have been trying to ****/ been going after the wrong type of chick this whole time ?


Life’s trippy I guess

Thoughts ?

Usually not.
Have you seen couples? Sometimes they are so similar they look like family. In most cases, likes attract likes.
It seems like you are delusional.

I’m talking more niche and style/attitude not physical features but okay red

Initially yes - different is novel and exciting. Over time I’ve found it’s all about the similarities in terms of compatibility.

I’ve definitely noticed a trend with dark skin going for light skin and light skin going for dark skin, but not as far as different groups of people go eg. an emo going for a jock.

the saying "opposites attract" is about the same as saying "asians have small pps" in that it's probably somewhat accurate, but every now and then chang thunderwang comes along and stuffs sloots like a thanksgiving day turkey

I'd like to say so yes, people often are attracted to others who share common interests and those relationships tend to last the longest. However if we are speaking in general terms/in physical terms, yes opposites do attract. Feminine women love masculine and vice versa, anyone else saying different is a liar. Women don't want to be treated as equals - that doesn't mean being treated like chit. What that means is women like a guy who can make decisions and "drive the car" while they are passengers during the journey. Women don't like men who behave like them, women don't like it when a guy agrees with everything they say, they like a guy who can oppose.

If you agree with everything she says, she's now the driver and she doesn't want to be the driver...

Women often date guys who are similar to them, because guys who are similar to them are often who they interact with the most. But looks can be decieving.

[WellHungOver]

For sure. My wife and I are polar opposites. Been married 20 years.

[tbonestake]

Do you consider yourself the opposite of masc trannies?

short white blondes love big tall blacks

white men like black men etc

solid theory op

[MBisonSon]

No, that's one of the biggest fallacies in dating/marriage.

Opposites don't attract, just dumb people myopically focusing on their differences.

[Or1ginal1ty]

I like girls that like to do opposite things of what I like to do. Makes things entertaining & you introduce each other to new things.

I’ve always thought of opposites attract as:

Dominant woman, submissive man

Submissive woman, dominant man

I don’t think opposites attract applies to everything.

Research has debunked the opposites attract myth. People are in fact more drawn to those more similar to them. Whether it be for friendship or romantic relationships. It's why interracial relationships only dominates your television rather than real life. People are tribal at their core and will stick with their pack. The more you have in common the easier it is to build a strong bond to someone else. Being opposite puts additional strain on any relationship, whether friendship or romantically. Can opposites be together? Absolutely. Both parties are going to work harder to establish that connection, and also probably maintain it, but there's also something to be said for investing a lot of time and effort into someone else. The longer you've been forced to collide and spend time with someone who is opposite of you the more likely it will be things will work out with them. But in a vacuum, similar trumps opposite.

LOL well obviously as it applies to sexual characteristics and traits.

Beyond that though let me run a few obvious similarities for almost all couples:

Religion (or lack thereof)
Political party
Socioeconomic status/class
Education
Beliefs
Upbringing

Those are easy ones that are like umbrellas which can be further broken down, right off the top of my head.

Pretty obvious answers when you're not busy like "hurr durr she likes chocolate ice cream and my favorite is vanilla".

[EndofGame]

Mind blown at the retards that think opposites attract

Maybe for a one night stand e.g. something new and different but

dating/long term likes attract likes

**** this forum is so ****in dumb

Sources or studies to back this up though ? Srs

[lllEZRAlll]

My vote is no. My understanding is the more similarities between two individuals the stronger the attraction/bond. Belief systems, principles, virtues, ect.

There's about a million sources on this stuff in the field of personality social science

I pulled a random one here. It may not be the best, but there's too many to shift through to bother

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/...5.1973.9922650

With a 2 × 2 factorial design based upon two levels of personality similarity (.20 and .80) and two levels of subjects' classification as to sex, it was found that personality similarity influenced attraction (p < .002), and that male and female subjects evaluated a same-sex stranger in precisely the same way (F < 1.00).

This study was specifically looking more into which is more powerful of a similarity trait, personality or attitude, so it takes a deeper dive beyond the already established hypothesis that similarities reinforce attraction. But you get the point...

Never been attracted to short fat dumb ethnic girls so no.

[badbl00d]

In terms of upbringing, values and general interests my wife and I are pretty similar. There are slight variations though, Ie...I like sports,but nothing consequential. In terms of personality we're very different. I'm extremely extroverted while she's very quiet and reserved. She can have a good time with people, but don't expect her to say a whole lot unless she knows you. Whereas if we're hanging out, we're getting yucky, gonna talk chit and have a good time.

[kasiekate]

People usually want somebody that is culturally the same or at least similar

But personalities really need to be compatible
