QotD - 5/7/10 - Do you think it's easier to be in a relationship with someone who's similar to you or do you believe that opposites attract?

It has to be a mix.  There are just some things I do and don't like that I am not willing to negotiate on, so someone similar to me would be best.  But, someone just like you can get boring.  I think it needs to be a 50/50 deal.  There are some things you automatically relate on and can bond over, but still plenty of things to learn from each other and their tastes.  Severe differences can work, but only if you are both very patient and compromising people, which generally isn't the case.  I need someone that can challenge me and keep me on my toes.
