littlewhiterose Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I get having a lot in common with someone but what if it was so much that you'd consider them the opposite sex version of you? Is it a good idea or a bad idea to date someone that similar to you? Would you consider dating the opposite sex version of you?
Woggle Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 It depends on what kind of person you are. I would run from the opposite sex version of me.
alphamale Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Would you consider dating the opposite sex version of you? no, i would never date a girl version of myself
Alexz Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I've been asked if I'm gay many times and alot of people say I'm feminine. So... I really wouldn't want a manly, alpha-male-type woman around. I wouldn't mind an alternate me in another gender.
Ms. Joolie Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 The opposite sex version of me??? OMG! I'd be gay!! lol
threebyfate Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 My husband is similar to me, in that we`re both A-type alpha personalities. But we differ in key areas that make our marriage work.
alphamale Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 i wonder what would happen if i dated an opposite sex version of me made of anti-matter
hats Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Hell yeah! I dunno if she'd be my ideal girl, but definitely worth a date.
Crazy Magnet Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 My BF and I are pretty similar. Same Myers Briggs, lots of the same interest, same sense of humor. We blurt out the same random punch lines so much it's almost freaky. He's pretty close, but we still differ in things too. I couldn't date the EXACT me.
EYECANDY000 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 If I dated the opposite version of myself we would never leave the house! Two boring people dont need to be together.
aerogurl87 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Definitely not! All the guys I date are the opposite of me. I'm a girly girl who is really outgoing. All the guys I like are shy, country boys who are happier camping out or working on a computer all day long.
spinster Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 My dude and I are very similar in many ways, and weird in the same ways. It was what I was looking for when I found him, a male version of myself. I guess that means I am in love with myself. He does have traits that I aspire to, though, that I don't have. And I would hope that it goes both ways.
Blackfrost Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 The opposite sex version of me lead to a divorce - so I remmarried the opposite opposite sex version of me and it worked out perfectly
You'reasian Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) I get having a lot in common with someone but what if it was so much that you'd consider them the opposite sex version of you? Is it a good idea or a bad idea to date someone that similar to you? Would you consider dating the opposite sex version of you? I would date the opposite sex version of myself. We would hit it off in the sack really well, have no issues communicating and would be able to understand each other - see our intentions clearly. Yeah. Edited February 26, 2010 by You'reasian
counterman Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I would also run from the opposite sex version of myself. It would be too weird for me.
sally4sara Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I get having a lot in common with someone but what if it was so much that you'd consider them the opposite sex version of you? Is it a good idea or a bad idea to date someone that similar to you? Would you consider dating the opposite sex version of you? I dated and married the opposite sex version of me. We are not identical or nothing but we don't have any big points of contention or conflict. Other than that horrible movie Wild Zero, the awful band Melt Banana, and the fact my coffee table has a stenciled Cobra logo on it

SadandConfusedWA Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Honestly, yes I would. We would be able to understand each other perfectly. The closer the personality match a person is to me, the deeper the bond I can develop.
prettybaby Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I feel like my current boyfriend is the absolute closest match to myself I will ever find. Same personality, same energy level, same interests, same values, same tastes, same soft spoken voice (although his is deeper, obviously ), etc. This would be a recipe for disaster if we were both very, uhm, "strong" tempered I guess you'd call it. But since we're both extremely relaxed, easy going, calm, romantic, and we don't like drama and headaches, this basically makes for the most perfect match. We never argue. We don't have to compromise on things, because we're basically on the same page to begin with. We have the same goals in life, we enjoy doing the same things. We're really each other's life partner. We don't have to get into lengthy discussions about our feelings and stuff to try to figure each other out, because we're so much alike; a lot of things are just too obvious to discuss. We hardly ever have misunderstandings. There has also never been a time when one of us felt bad while the other didn't give a hoot. I don't know if our level of empathy for each other is extremely high or what, but if one of us goes through a bad time, the other goes into panic mode and tries to bring comfort lol This has happened a few times, and it's adorable. We're only happy when we know we both are. I suppose this wouldn't work for everybody as I guess some people look for someone to counter-balance them. But I personally never felt the need to balance anything. I feel pretty content and complete as is, and it's very nice to be able to share my life now with someone who practically feels like my twin in a way.
Krytie TV Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Heh, I married a female version of myself... except she has more charisma and charm than I do. I got the book smarts. Otherwise, we're both the same person. I makes for many interesting power struggles.
Woggle Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 If I married a female version of me we would kill each other.
JamesM Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Having many similarities in thought and ideas or beliefs is different than marrying someone with the same characteristics. Many of is choose individuals with characteristics that we feel we lack. For instance, a man may be shy, so he marries someone more outgoing. This brings him into being less shy. Someone may be rigid and structured in their daily routines, so they end up with someone who is more spontaneous. The more spontaneous one likes some structure and the routine one likes some spontaneity. However, when you get to marriage, there are some clashes until each gets to know each other. No, I would not date someone who was too much like me. And I married someone who is different in many of the characteristics that I described above. We have helped each other to be better and yet, each has helped the other not to go too far the opposite direction. I worked with a girl who was very close to me in how she reacted to situations...good and bad. We both realized (never dated) that being so similar would cause many problems. Having an opposite partner when situations arise makes for a much better outcome. If both are calm and collected, then no one "panics" and moves quickly. Yet if both are quick to panic, then calm thinking is not there. Opposites do attract for a reason.
