?????"Opposites Attract"?????

I agree with you totally!

Opposites attract initially, but from there on, they irritate each other, I'm living proof of that quote!

I think it only works with magnets.

Depends on if someone is whole or not. If someone is constantly filling their own needs, they might appreciate someone similar who does the same thing.

But if someone can't fill their own needs very well, they might look for someone else to be their parent, protector, or provider. In that case, they would need someone who is completely unlike themself, to fill in the missing gaps and "make them complete".

Independent people WANT ... the same.
Dependent people NEED ... a complementary opposite.

That's possible. Actually, maybe that's what I should have said.
