kind of...like-minded individuals, but who also can help me and vice-versa. like...someone who's good with tools and bad at cooking!

I'm afraid for falling for people who actually have strengths they could use against me.

and I try to stay away when I know the differences are emotional disparities I'm looking to compliment when I should really be working on them by myself


does that make any sense? dunno

If it is a good match between people then the weaknesses and strenghs of either person tend to balance each other out throughout time.

They may have qualities you lack but also lack qualities you have.

i find myself attracted to the ones that i think have personalities that are strong enough to keep me from running right over the top of them.

these have a tendency to be a bit...wild.

most of my long-term relationships were with people that worked with their hands, however...my husband was an electrician...

i think that i'd be annoyed if my i had to go off of just MY strengths at times. if i was the only good cook, i'd decide i hated cooking. if he were the only one good at dishes...i might love it, but he's gonna get sick of it.

my best relationships were with those that were...similar enough to have things to discuss and do...and yet different enough for me to learn something from them.

I need someone to help keep me grounded. I'm blunt and to the point, so I need someone who shares the same quality yet has more tact than I do! LOL cheers

Sometimes the influence of someone who is opposite is because usually their strong traits compliments your weaker traits and visa versa. What one isn't like the other is and together they blance each other out.
