No opposites do not attract. Attractive people don't belong with ugly people. Rich people don't belong with prostitutes. People are getting into relationships with people that have nothing in common for money, sexual excitement and status. It's disgusting and no wonder society is so screwed up

How TF would YOU know?
 
I suspect that some people actually enjoy opposites. Personally, I don't. I'm more comfortable with like minded humans.
In short> Depends on who is there. :)
 
It's two different things. Chemistry and Compatibility. You need both if you want to have a successful relationship. As far as Chemistry goes I think we're wired to find differences attractive & intriguing.

Sure, because that's where I look to figure out America...the rich folks. 😆😆😆😆
Look, you and I don't get to pass judgment on what attracts.
Know why? (and notice I included MYSELF, okay?)

Here's why:
It's none of our goddamn business.

What attracts two people isn't comprehensible by any others.
Sure, we can comment and weigh in but it carries no weight realistically speaking.

Not only that but what attracted us when we were young might change, or it might not.
A lady friend I used to know was not what most would call a stunning beauty but she landed a real hunk and surprise surprise he was something of a nerd but he LOOKED like a young Robert Redford.
So why did he fall for her?
I finally brought it up just the right way one night...by NOT asking at all, I just listened to him like "guy to guy" as he described their marriage, which is still going strong twenty some years later.

"She gets me, she gets all my little peccadilloes, we have vastly different takes on things and we are opposites on so much but she "gets" what I am.
A lot of guys say I could have done better but that's because they look at her face and while I think her face is cute it's that BODY that slays me."

Not verbatim, that's a summary of what he was saying.

Know what? In the ten years I'd been friends with her (we started as work buddies) I never really paid attention to her body.
Holy smokes, he was right, she does have a bangin body, so I guess when they turn out the lights it's whatever makes him happy.
Plus, she "gets" him.
Those two things are all that matters for him.

And I'll tell you the same thing I've heard all my adult life:

"NO MATTER HOW HOT SHE IS, SOMEWHERE SOME GUY IS SICK OF HER SHIT"

That speaks to me because I can say that I've been pretty lucky and what turned me ON --- pretty face and stunning body, all gets canceled out if they act like a train wreck.
My first wife was an actual starlet, a quasi "movie star"...and the world's worst train wreck by Year Three.

One person's opinion about opposites and how they feel their opinion speaks for the entire human race, I guess.
Career demands broke up Lyle Lovett and Julia Roberts.
Now, if you look at Julia, most people think she's deliciously attractive, right?

I used to be friends with one of her publicists many years ago...she had THREE last I heard.
Now why on earth would a stunner like Julia find love with a guy that looks like this?

Publicist lady made me spit coffee out my shnozz when she said
"For one thing, Lyle is packing quite the whopper in the manhood department."
Girls do TALK, you know.
If you're not packing, their friends know.
If you ARE packing, their friends know.

So there ya go, she wanted to have a guy with a great big gentleman sausage.
Plus she fell in love with his lyrics, he wrote stuff that got to her in a big way.
Gotta admit, Lyle's songwriting skills are indeed fascinating.

He's reportedly a really pleasant and fun person, has a good sense of humor and he's well endowed.
PR gal also whispered that Jules went back a few more times after they split up to have another couple of sessions with his man sausage. 😆

But at first glance a lot of people would be all:
"What the hell does she see in him?"

Well apparently now we know!

I’ve found that for me chemistry cannot substitute for compatibility.
Him: Marine Lt, conservative, including politics, to the core. (He voted Republican.) Golfer. Born and raised in rural Mono County, far north of California.

Plenty of chemistry, then verbal sparring, an amorous interlude, more verbal exchanges [You can’t really believe that?!?], some more chemistry, verbal challenges [You don’t really think that stuff is art!?!], and on and on.

Thank heavens he was offered a job several counties to the south — outside reasonable commuting distance.

who TF cares?

other than you?

i care about me, my family, and my friends....

And i love my little community.....i could give a shit less what the "rich" are doing to who, or why? Or why their lives are so screwed up

People live vicariously through athletes, stars, rich people....and it screws with their heads

Make your life as good as it can be.....be a good person.....and be happy

Simple rules for MY life.

I never found her exceptionally attractive.
Did you see my post on what makes a male attractive?

Nevertheless she is considered attractive.
But in any case I can probably come up with at least a dozen well known examples of beauty meets the beast.
 
What a thing to be concerned about - who people are attracted to.

I take back what I said earlier. You're right, opposites don't attract, which explains why I'm gay.

In my case I can't exactly say Beauty meets the Beast, but two of my favorite ex boyfriends were the two least good looking of the bunch. Personality
wins out every time, for me.
