Do you ever think about the psychological theory that says we attract to us those who are most like us?

I rather date someone who contrast me[: it makes things more interesting.

Not EXACTLY like me, but I’d definitely want someone who shared my ideals.

I couldnt agree as I tend to attract the opposite to myself ,regulary hence while im now single and loving it. I would love to date someone like myself ,sick of grumpy bastards that arent physically ,active.Where did u get this theory from. And yes definately everyone should do some self improvement to learn more bout thyself and others.

It’s well-known that most people tend to be attracted to, and eventually marry those who are similar to themselves (in age, racial group, etc), after going through an extended period (for some) of “checkin’ out the differences.” Of course there are also those who never tire of “checkin’ out the differences”. and who simply rely on a partner to be, perhaps, a friend and confidante. You gotta love variety, but a person also has to trust someone…..

I would tend to agree with that, but it does not always tend to work that way. People deserve each other. There are no victims here. Only choices, get me. We are victims of our choices, and the victims of the choices of those who made us, just as they are the victims of the choices of those that made them.

People are just stupid horny animals

I believe we do attract what we are like…but i tend to define “what we are like” as more “what we think on most”.

If someone often thinks of the attributes they desire to attract, whether it is the same as them or not, the person with those attributes will show up.

If someone fears a certain type and constantly thinks “i don’t want another one of those”, then oooohhhhhh that problem partner will come quick enough…again!

So perhaps that is why some of our partners are like us, and some are not.

In life, we attract what we think about most, from our highest desires to our most traumatizing fears.
