Do you think a relationship is more likely….

Do you think a relationship is more likely to work when the individuals are opposites or “birds of a feather”?

    Opposites, but it’s good to have some commonalities (smile-wink)…

    I say “birds of a feather” simply because of “like mindedness”. People that are alike tend to be headed in the same direction. Yes, opposites attract but after the intrigue is gone…what do you do then.

    You can look at it both ways… A relationship were both individuals are the same tends to last longer BUT this will be a very hard relationship because you will bump heads often sharing simular characteristics.
    Were the relationship has two individuals that are opposite this relationship can have a big impact for both because you will learn from each other and grow together. There will be things that both individuals can introduce to the other. Having an open mind to others who think different than you.

    I personally think that opposites attract because of you both having your own individual minds. Doing your own individual things. There truly isn’t two people with alike minds out here anyway. And I think you could learn from each other and grow with each other on your own individual thoughts, actions. And if we all thought alike or did the same things it would be one dull a** world. I like different….

    I think it’s really doesn’t make a difference… I find that it’s just a matter of really wanting to be with someone and putting in the work to make it work… I say that because when I fell in love… none of that really mattered after… I enjoy the woman regardless of the outfits, size or mannerisms… I don’t even see that clearly any more.
    We look totally different and we could not be more alike… sports, hobbies, music, literature, movies, seasons… but to look at us… you would think there was some role playing going on… and there isn’t…
    When you fine true love… it’s never what you would have known to ask for… it’s sometimes looks just like you… or not!

    Great minds think alike. Every relationship needs diversity, but you must be like minded on some crucial issues:

    Money - If she can’t count (budget), she don’t pay her bills
    Education - if she’s not educated, she’ll never get it
    Family - She must be OUT (i.e. children, family, marriage, etc)
    Culture - if she ain’t on some Black Power shit, fuk her. . .literally

    Ask and you shall receive. Say it loud. Own it.
    Be specific about your ideal woman and never settle no matter how lonely it gets.

    I think that no matter how you put it, relationships work when the people that are together are honest, understanding, willing to compromise, and of course, attracted to one another. when all of of these things come together the relationship will last a long time because who would want to leave a person with all of these qualities. A lot of times people get into relationships for the wrong reasons. I prefer to get to no someone first then see how far we can take it afterwards because the most attractive females will have so many issues and flaws that no matter what you do or say will not help improve the situation.
