Have you ever found yourself attracted to someone who was your exact opposite? They drive you crazy with their differences, and yet you can’t help but feel drawn to them. The opposite attraction is a mystery for many daters out there, and in today’s post, we’re going to take some time to explore the reasons why opposites attract. Also, whether opposites can have fulfilling long-term relationships. Let’s get started:

Opposites ignite fireworks

When you’re dating someone entirely different from yourself, it’s likely that sparks are always flying because you two don’t always see eye-to-eye on every issue. This tension can translate to chemistry and sexual aggression in the bedroom, which is usually very exciting.

Complimentary traits

It takes two whole people to be in a relationship. When both partners are comfortable in their own skin, with their own thoughts, ideas and opinions, it does really matter if they seem opposite. As long as they agree on what a relationship entails (for example, someone who believes in monogamy likely won’t partner well with someone who doesn’t). But if one person is impatient, and the other is patient, it can be really great for the relationship. Think of the Ying-Yang.

Makes you a better person

Opposite couples can enjoy a beautiful and long romance because dating someone who has an entirely different perspective from you can inspire tremendous personal growth. You will be able to see the world through a new pair of eyes and it can make you a better, more empathetic person.
