this would make a great poll lol
personally my gf is nothing like me..
Well I hope so
Hi carol
Same here I wouldn't want to date myself but I have
interesting topic!
I have a silly need to admire my Man...
That would be good to have someone completely understand us. It would make miscommunication & misinterpretation less likely. And we don't know what one is going through until we've through it ourselves. It we be nice for someone to get us. And not have to second guess ourselves.
Yes for sure....alittle of both....a healthy balance. They say opposites attract. I'm attracted to guys who have different qualities than me but at same time I want a guy who shares some similarity also.
Wish you find a little bit from both!
for you ...
A little bit of everything
Thanks for the song
sorrrrry
Song didn't play for me
Its all good
I agree I like learning things & doing things. If a guy didn't it would kinda be boring. And I sometimes get bored easily. There's gotta be those sparks also
I do like it when a man is different than me I wouldn't want him to be exactly like me & vice versa. But its also good to have some similarities also....as in interests.
I'm alittle on the shy side so I like when a guy isn't so he can bring out my comfort zone in a way. I wouldn't want a homebody either i'd get bored easily. I like variety.
Could you imagine if after awhile our looks, gestures &.....look the same
@Aswina - "I have a silly need to admire my Man". I look at this the same way. I want to be with someone I admire. Some who is 'better than me' in at least some way. Someone who will inspire me.
@Zweet - Your comments to BlueOcean... someone who understands you... who 'gets' you.
I have some character traits that I admire and find attractive in others. In these things, I am attracted to someone who reminds me of myself. (curiosity, interest in learning and understanding, empathy, more)
How about this? I'm attracted to people who remind of my better traits. I'm probably not attracted to people who remind me of my worse traits. ....
I also however believe that opposites attract, there are usually qualities quite different to what we have that might interest us or make us feel drawn to a person...
But I would say that the similarities are what make a relationship possible....common ground...similar views...same outlooks etc... or perhaps just willingness to compromise
and I think Jana has a valid point too
in order to have relate as you put it using the others "language"
(in a loving relationship compromising and adapting to better suit your partners needs is key)
I'd like to think communication continues to improve... it should. I think many people are poor communicators though... and they often don't get why they are misunderstood.
Thank you for sharing your outlook on this.
I have always liked people
who have similar interests
to myself.
That makes for a good start
to romance, if you have the
same things in common.
Mind if the man wants to be
too much like me then no, he
is not welcome to wear my
stockings etc., ohhhhhhhhh no
so there is a limit to how much
like me he can be!! heheheehhe
Could you imagine if we could clone a male version of ourselves they would just get us & be exactly what we want & don't want
Don't want to date someone who looks exactly like that would be confusing
Yes similarities are what attracts us to one another because it helps to have common ground & interests. It means getting together more easier in what to do together. You'll know for sure that both of you will enjoy it & look forward to doing it together.
And opposites do attract because they may introduce something into your life that you haven't thought of or would do. As a couple gets together they may even try something new together as it may add to the relationship.
Communication should improve as the relationship continues its what brings two people together. As time goes you know each others quirks & what pushes your buttons. It could be even used against you. When that happens something is wrong on the relationship.
Poor communciation could possibly happen when two people grow apart. They could have selective listening as they tune each other out. One talks & the other doesn't pay attention. When that happens well verbal wars happen.
If they pay attention to each other & not ignore the communication barrier. Cummunication improves when both listen to each other out. They talk it out & work it out. They don't hold it in they just say it.
And no that's not rude
Bsooner
Stope selling yourself to short if you keep doing that you'll end up with nothing. We all bring something to any relationship we don't bring nothing. If we bring nothing we get nothing. If we bring something we get something.
Bug I wonder if nothing gets something & if something gets nothing. But something always happen. But nothing always happens. I'm confusing nothing with something. & something with nothing
Sometimes someone comes along & brings out something in us that we haven't thought of. There's something about them. Perhaps they bring out something dormant in your subconscious.
With the right person when they do come into our life there's a reason & somtimes when it does hit us its like we never thought of.....I've been relizing that when it comes down to it....if it feels right in your heart there shouldn't be any regrets.
