Episode 246: Do Opposites Really Attract in Relationships?

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.
