I'm pretty sure we've all heard of the saying "opposites attract" especially when it comes to romantic relationships, but do you believe that this statement is true?
I personally think that this is true to an extent. I would still like it if my partner and I had some stuff in common, but not too much in common to the point where it feels like it's the same and boring. I do appreciate the differences as long as there isn't way too much to the point where the relationship can't work out. So I do believe that this statement is somewhat true, but too many differences probably won't work IMO.

Nope, the more in common the better. Obviously you'll never find someone who's 100% like you. But if they're 96% like you, then you can appreciate them and also appreciate the 4% that is different. If they're only 50% like you and 50% different, then it's difficult to do things together and find things to talk about, and there can also be personality conflicts etc.

That's why I wouldn't want way too many differences between me and my partner. I do prefer to have more in common than more differences, to be honest.

Having several interests in common is important, but not having all your negative traits in common. It should be complimentary, and some similar traits will clash if that makes sense. Also as an introvert I gravitate towards extroverts more.

To an extent yeah, it can work out if you have a fair amount of differences, but it’s probably not to common and you have to at least have a few things in common.

Opposites can attract, in a sense, but only if they have similarities to balance it out. There needs to be some common ground for a relationship to truly succeed.

Yeah, I guess so, but whether they will work it out or not depends on the sitch. Sometimes, it sure does seem like Cupid is distributing arrows to the randomest people just for the thrill of being able to say, "I am so random, I can't believe I just did that."
