Loads of things in common, or opposites attract?

[Andy]

Which are you and your SO?

I'd have to say that although we do have some things in common... like erm... we both like blue? Hehe, me and Tanja are fairly different to each other, but I think we compliment each other really well

When I told one of my mates about her he assumed we had LOADS in common, and he was a bit surprised when I told him that was the case. If I'm being honest, that's what I'd assume too for LDRs.

So which one best describes you as a couple?

Me and my Airman are completely different. We have some of the same views on SOME and rarely anything but, I think that is what keeps us close. I like to playfully argue so, it can keep things interesting and it can give each of us another view on a subject. It is a compliment to both the relationship and to our own well being.

heh... My boyfriend and I are extremely similar. Back when we were just friends we used to joke that I was the female version of him. ^^;; Then again, we do have a few things different... But as far as major interests (gaming, drawing, fantasy/sci-fi, etc) we are a lot alike. He isn't Christian, though, which I am. I can't force him into anything but I'm not giving up my faith, either, so we kind of compromise on that... and he doesn't plan ahead AT ALL (unless it's something really big/important) and he doesn't worry about much whereas I like to have things planned out in advance and I think/worry way too much for my own good...but I suppose that's a good thing because if we end up staying together we'll compliment each other in that manner.

lol.. when doing lovely quizzes on facebook, there would always be this question. "what do you and your partner have in common". I'd ask Steve, and he'd be like "i dunno.. " and it's sooo true!

Even though we don't have specific things in common, we do think the same. Like if I was a man... I would be Steve.

For instance, he always notices the little things about life and he thinks this makes him brilliant (lol, note my sarcasm).. although when he points out the stuff (thinking I didn't notice).. I had already noticed 5mins before he did

[Andy]

Haha, we're not the only ones then!

We know each other inside out by now though, and I love that. SO many times we've ended up thinking the same thing at the same time, and typed it, it's so weird! The other night we typed a whole sentence almost word for word!!!

We do have some things in common, we're not as bad as I made out in the first post

We both like animals, and our opinions on the important things always seem to be identical, which is important I think. When we're together, we both like doing the same sort of "lovey dovey" things cause we're both very affectionate. That's great too

But I'm an introvert, she's an extrovert. I'm a planner, she's very spontaneous. And as for shared interests and hobbies - it's poker, F1, Lost and here, and that's about it!

Rane & I are pretty much two halves of the same whole, and it's awesome. We think the same way, agree on all of our life plans and goals, enjoy many of the same hobbies, we just suit each other perfectly. There are a few differences though of course, he is a math/physics genius, I'm more artsy and into photography, things like that, but thats what keeps it interesting right?

[Taija]

Both. When it comes to interests, we have a lot in common - music, internet, sex, video games, finding out small facts about psychology and philosophy and all that..

But there's one big big difference in our personalities; I'm a worrier and can't let things go, whereas he's more laid-back and doesn't dwell on everything. On the other hand, I'm very passionate about things I'm interested in, but he often just doesn't care. Funny thing is, whether they are good or bad, these characteristics are what made us attracted to each other in the first place. :P

[Tanja]

Like Andy said we don't have that muc in common when it comes to hobbies etc but when it comes to really big and important things we usually are on the same line which to me is the most important thing. We do argue about loads of little things but in a cute way lol and I love our argues especially when I'm right

BUt in our case, opposites attract!

[Gurl]

Me and him have a lot of interests in common, though we often see the same things in very different ways. When we talk about certain series of books we both read, it can get very interesting... it surprises me I see things from a more chick point of view than he does...he's usually good at seeing all sides of the coin but he's pretty vested into these books LOL

We do see pretty much eye to eye on things like religion, child raising (funny how we got onto that a bit here and there, actually), and other stuff my brain just doesn't wanna pull up right now. I've tried opposites attract, and had it fall apart way too fast....and my last relationship we were very much a like and that killed things fast. I think that, maybe, I've found the right balance of similarity and differences.

[ioanna]

in my case i guess its opposites attract.. we have very different personalities, and different interests in life, but we enjoy sharing those with each other, for we both love learning new things : ) and when it comes to values and beliefs, we are on the same wavelengths, which in my opinion is the most important part... sharing the same values and supporting both our mutual common and personal goals in life is, i guess, the perfect recipe for us : )

[Moon]

Raine and I have tons in common, more than what we don't. Our ethics and personal beliefs are the same, and we agree with each other about mostly everything. Our hobbies are completely different, but we stay interested in what the other is doing anyway, and we compliment each other really well. So yeah, for the really important stuff, we're the same, the rest is just a learning experience!

[ginaxnj]

me and my bf are pretty much split down the middle when it comes to having things in common.. we are totally the opposite when it comes to clothes, sports, music and food but pretty everything else we have in common.

[Alisz]

I think we have a good balance of what we have in common and what we don't. We both like video games, but not always the same. He likes RTS and I like time management. But there are some that we both like, *cough*L4D. :P It's the same with other things too. In terms of lifestyles, I think we get along. We both like to stay at home and cuddle and are content with that. Our personalities can be different, but we compliment each other. He's very level headed and is able to calm me down easily. I'm very patient and I'm able to help him take a step back. We're also both very affectionate and clingy, so it works for us hehe Yes, we are that couple you see and as he put it "get instant diabetes" ^^;;

[Jackie]

Chris and I are toooootally opposite! I've never met anybody who was more unlike me than him... but I love him all the more for it! He's very logical and scientific in the way he thinks, whereas I hate science and while I can be pretty logical at times, I prefer to be emotional. I love literature, sociology, psychology, history, and he loves science, science, science. Haha. We are constantly arguing over the most meaningless things, and I've never been more frustrated with a person than him, but for some reason it keeps drawing me in. It's really refreshing to have a second outlook and perspective on things I grew up believing and thinking about, and he's actually changed some of the ways I think - something I thought would never happen! It just made more sense though. So even though it's annoying as hell to get into arguments about absurd things, I think it's what keeps the conversations interesting.

[uk_girl]

We're extremely similar.

We like similar music, we both enjoy socialising, going out to clubs and bars, we both LOVE football (soccer...quite rare for a female) and we both have the same stupid sense of humour. We're really good friends as well as being bf/gf and I think if our relationship doesn't work out, then being close friends would be a given...obviously after a few months to get over the split! Lol.
