Do you think opposites attract?

In this solo episode of Habits and Hustle, we chat about whether or not opposites really do attract in relationships and whether it’s a good idea or not to be in a relationship with someone who is the total opposite of you. The reality is, similarities between personalities and values are key to a long-lasting relationship.

What we discuss:

01:32: Do opposites attract?

02:26: Do personalities have to be opposites?

08:10: What does the research say on whether opposites attract or not?

14:11: Is it possible for love to slowly grow over time?

Key Takeaways:

  • While many people may be looking for opposites in potential partners to complement their personalities, it could be a better idea to look for similarities.

  • Your partner’s values must align with your own. This is not something you can compromise on nor would it be a good idea to look for someone with opposite values as yours.
