I was wondering if people with certain different personality traits attract?

I would consider myself a shy guy but I always find myself attracted to the girls that are bubbly, lively and the life of the party.

Yes opposites do attract but that doesn't mean it will work. I always chose the bad kind of girls, I don't know why. All I can tell you is that it rarely works.

Yeah I would say they do.

I'm more on the quiet side and considered a bit of a "goody two shoes"

but my ex boyfriend is very loud, out there, been in a fair bit of trouble. Maybe it was just me being attracted to the "bad boy" but we clicked really well and loved each other despite not having too much in common.

I was thinking about the same thing today.

 

I would consider myself a Shy/Stay at home type Guy, however - I prefer Girly Girls. But I took a long look back at all my ex-girlfriends recently and noticed an interesting pattern. A lot of the Girls (most of them) were more Masculine/Tomboy types who were extroverted (the opposite of me). But I did not like that. My last girlfriend was more Girly, but still a tomboy (the fact that she was more girly was more attractive to me). But she was more adventurous than I was and so that's why we probably weren't right for each other.

 

Do opposites attract well....Yes, But not sure if people should get involved with people who are not like them. More Adventurous types getting involved with Grounded types don't always work very well together I've noticed.

 

There is a scientist called Helen Fisher who has some good videos up on youtube on this sort of stuff. Check it out

Yep, our differences is what caused our breakup.

I'm learning that opposites attract IF you're physically attracted to the person. If not, you might as well try turning water into wine, you'll have more luck.

 

I've been on 2 dates with this current guy and even though he's perfectly nice, wet have nothing in common AND I'm not physically attracted to him. Double fail. I'm waiting to see if he's going to ask me out again, then I'll put the kybosh on it.

And you broke up... Conclusion: they attract ,but it doesn't mean it will last.

 

I find it very strange, why people are attracted to bad boy type of people.

I would be a shy guy until you get to know me then I am a real joker and quite lively.

I like girls that are confident, out-going, lively and usually they are really popular.

 

If only I could get a girl like that :laugh:

Why? Bad boys are the perfect 1 night romp. Just don't expect to marry them.

 

I'd let Robert Downey Jr in his bad boy days do naughty things to me...

Yep.. well I actually knew him when he was a good guy back when we were young teenagers and still liked him then.

I think we were both just very very physically attached attracted to each other.

As pickflicker pointed out... if you have nothing in common and no physical attraction you are pretty much doomed!

Because they're narcissists. You having multiple orgasms is a ego stroke for them. That's why the sex is so good.

Yep bad girls works for me to but only for one night stand, not for a full time relationship :)) I did that once.

 

I dated a `bad girl` for 2 months, we drink everyday, smoked weird things and has crazy, mad sex. She looks like a goth/rock/ tipe of girl with dark hair and dark eyelashes dark clothes tattoos etc.( but man she was sexy) I dumped her because I almost became an alcoholic :)) Good times.

And what if they are almost exactly the same, you think that works out better? ^^

Asking for myself honestly. Because me and this girl have almost everything in common, from things we like to behavior. There is physical attraction from both sides also, tried a few things.

 

But at the same time she doesn't want to give it a shot because we are to much alike, and she hates that i know her so well and vice-versa...doesn't want a person like herself, idk.

 

Opposites attract and the other just push appart? U need something in between or what xD.

Sounds like an excuse really.. I would love to meet someone I am extremely attracted too and was similar to myself.. except for the stubborn part haha.

You just need to be at the right place at the right time, other than that is just supporting each other flaws.

Does that mean that lively, out-going popular girls like shy guys?

 

I hope so :laugh:

I would be quite shy and quiet around girls I like. I am not too awkward though, I try and talk to them and I am quite athletic so I would not rule out having a chance with the more popular ones.

That's a nice way to approach women, it only depends of the type of girl. Good luck :)
