Should Opposites Attract, Or Should Two Of A Kind Date?
By Tai Lopez
This is the great question, paired with all of the questions of romance, which has its roots in the binary nature of pairings. Either two people are equal and alike or they are not. But actually, no two people are at exactly the same level in every regard. So instead, consider this a more abstracted ideal.
Wealthy dating sites tend to identify differences a little more sharply than others. Your income is a matter of public record, as are other telling statistics. So you’re better set-up to assess who you’ll go out with.
In elite dating, such as the kind of matchmaking that goes on between millionaires, the question is: should you seek out someone of similar income, social class, and background, or find someone different in this regard? Which kind leads to a more satisfying, lasting relationship? And how do you make it advantageous to both parties?
On the one hand, people from wildly different social and economic brackets won’t have much common ground to talk about. One muses on whether to invest in ten-year treasury bonds or wait out the fourth-quarter reports, and the other responds about how there weren’t many good coupons to clip in the Sunday paper but they found a nearly-new free sofa on Craigslist. Opposites might have different values, beliefs, and political leanings.
Consider the family issues, as well. more than one marriage has been doomed by the in-laws, who popped their monocle at the thought of their wealthy heir marrying a common slouch from “the wrong side of the tracks”. Just because you’re rich, doesn’t always mean you get to do whatever you want, even if you have to remain single for it!
Nevertheless, there is a strong argument to be made for “opposites attract”. As many young suitors discover to their surprise, you can be an equal to your date in personality, intelligence, temperament, income, and breeding, and yet still not have a good love relationship! Why is this? Because there’s no romantic spark! When you pick somebody to be as much like you as possible, you’re bound to be good friends - but only from the waist up. Now, there’s exceptions to this rule. Just because two people could almost be cut from the same mold doesn’t doom them to be star-crossed lovers. But it usually works out that way.
Consider the opposites relationship as a mesh. One side’s strengths fills in for the other side’s weaknesses. Each has their specialty, which makes it easier to divide the responsibilities. For instance, one might be better at handling the money, while the other is better at keeping a household running. One might be a better earner while the other is a better spender.
In the case of income disparity, really, how good a pairing is two tycoons? They’re both likely to have businesses to run, or empires to manage. They’re both always busy. They’re also likely to be two competing strong personalities, each with a passionate drive and ambition, but there’s no room for either one of them to shine. This is one of the “gotchas” of millionaire dating - it’s why the celebrities of Hollywood tend to break up as often as they match up.
Instead, relationships work better when things are balanced. Remember the famous words of the film “Jerry Maguire”: “You complete me.” Two wholes cannot complete each other. Two halves have to make a whole. Picking your opposite, or at least somebody who’s significantly different in several ways, ensures that together, you become something more than just the sum of two people. You make that all-important third element: the relationship.
