Question: Should you date someone similar to you or opposite?

Even though it makes sense to date some whos a lot like you, dont rule out the idea of dating someone who is your opposite, either. If your partner happens to have a different outlook on life, different personality traits, and even different interests, it can make for a fun and interesting relationship.

Is it better to date someone similar to you or different from you?

There are pros and cons to dating someone with the same personality as you. Dating someone very similar to you can definitely promote better understanding at times, especially in the beginning, or “adjustment period” of a new relationship, as another study found.

Do opposite or similar personalities attract?

Further research on complementary personalities suggest mixed results. A few studies parroted Winchs findings, but most studies, in a pool of over 300, found that the opposites largely do not attract. People are pulled to those who they share similarities with in one way or another.

What is the opposite of person?

Antonyms: generic, common. Synonyms: individual, special, peculiar, idiosyncratic.

Why are opposite attracts?

The idea that opposites attract in relationships is a myth. In reality, people tend to be attracted to those who are similar to themselves, as dozens of studies have shown. This could be because personality contrasts tend to stand out and become bigger over time.
