In a relationship with a complete opposite
have you ever tried dating like the least likely person youd ever think to be with?
its interesting. eg: she's never heard of drum and bass and has never,or ever, will be interested in backpacking. and i cant fucking stand 'greys anatomy' and shopping at the mall. ^but she dose and thats cool...cause its her. she has hers and i have mine and its good. its like synergy or someshit.....its really kinda strange.

in the beginning of my relationship boyfriend and myself were opposites. we had some similar tastes, but alot were different. i think its part of what has kept us going for 3 years - we have each other but we also have ourselves. i go to events he doesnt go to, and vice versa.
and it has opened my eyes to other things and his as well. especailly musically. i got him turned on to the stones and other classic rock, he got me into MIA and others.

My girlfriend and I are very different people personality wise. We do share a lot of tastes and interests, but while I'm a talkative raver who'd rather go out and dance at a club at night, she's a quiet hippy who'd be a lot happier kicking at home listening to music and watching ATHF.
Incidentally though, in either situation we're both up for the weed smoking involved... heh... =) I don't like the word "opposite" so much as "complementary". She picks up at a lot of the places in life where I find myself lacking, and I'd hope vice-versa. It's that level of reciprocation that's important I think... not so much that when one does something for the other then you return the favour or something (minds outta the gutters, kids, I ain't talking about sex) but moreso that the things you do for each other are appropriate for what you can do for each other. Actually, there was a really good DTMFA-oriented Savage Love article in the Straight this week kinda talks about relationship reciprocation.

Grey's Anatomy is fucking awesome.
I think the best relationships are when you are SO alike in some ways and in other ways are totally opposite. That way, you enjoy some of the same things, and have lots of things to learn from each other. That's why my boyfriend and I work so well together - for example, I'm loud and always speak my mind, and he usually keeps his opinions to himself. He's taught me that sometimes the "sit down and shut up" concept is a great idea, and I've taught him to stand up for himself more. It works :)

if you cannot learn/teach each other things you are doomed, or so i've found. and greys anatomy DOES fucking rock. =)

I don't think it's really the interests but the personality.
If she's open and down to earth i'm sure she'd be open to trying these new things. Otherwise it starts out great but turns out to be a really annoying relationship after awhile. You can't relate.

i think it is necessary to be with some different from you. if both parties are the same and have the same opinions, man, things would just be boring. like someone said above, you can learn a lot from the other and vice versa.
and who doesnt like a bit of healthy debate and bickering? even if just for the make up sex.
