Schopenhauer believed opposites attract. Do you ?
Sometimes yes, in some ways. Like as I was saying, strong dominant personalities are often attracted to more laid back people and vice versa.
2 strong personalities can fight a lot, and 2 people who are too laid back won't get anything done lol. Very strong personalities can be difficult to deal with, and sometimes the people who can put up with them over the long term are the laid back types who have a lot of patience. We often tend to settle with people who can put up with our bullshit.
For opposites, male is opposite to female, so that works. I think it might be an evolutionary thing. It seems to work well when we partner with people who have the qualities we lack, and vice versa. This makes for a good team that can successful raise a family.
