Do opposites attract ? I am curious if this is just another common saying or if there is some truth to it.I would like to hear your thoughts,experiences,or tales of others that apply .It can be an experience you've had.It can be an experience someone you know may have had.It can be something from history or recent news. Please post in English and Spanish. I ,of course ,will start us off.

Sí,pero gano cantidad enorme de dinero. Yes, but I earn an enormous amount of money.

I think it’s a good thing to be attracted to difference. But few people understand the true meaning of their differences and the price for this lack of insight can be steep.

Experts say having more of the right similarities is more helpful in a relationship. So, yes and no. As far as personalities go, having opposites in relationships often works because both partners in the relationship balance everything out. For example: if a there is a couple containing a woman who is high-strung and a guy who is easy-going, then having the opposing personalities would stabilize the relationship in difficult times. However, two people in a relationship won't be attracted to each other if they are complete opposites. As far as beliefs and values go, two people in a relationship often look for someone who has the same values and beliefs as them.

Hay puede estar no mayor diferencia que un hombre y una mujer.

Seguramente que es la diferencia, que es la atracción.

No quiero vivir con un copia al carbón de me.

There can be no greater difference than a man and a woman.

Surely that's the difference, that is the attraction.

I do not want to live with a carbon copy of me .

The book 'Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus' by John Gray states that the most commom problems between men and women are the result of fundamental psychological differences between the genders.

At some point there must have been travel between the two Planets ? - ray76, Mar 24, 2014
Via rocket ship of course...it was probably the speed of sound that created a problem. - 007c5fc1, Mar 24, 2014

Aúnqe he visto a muchas parejas hechos de un hombre muy alto y una mujer bajita , no he visto nunca a una pareja que contiene una mujer altíssima y un hombre muy bajo.

Although I have seen many couples consisting of a tall man and a very short woman I've never seen a couple, not even one, consisting of a super- tall woman and a short man.

Corrections please, guesswork applied with the verbs.
