Default A mirror of yourself?

Have you observe that people who end up together are somewhat look alike? I heard that when you get attracted to a person, he/she is a mirror of yourself. In short, you're just in love with yourself. Do you believe in this?

I could actually observed that to a common couple. They always had a similarity. Do you agree that if the two partner had the similarity then they would probably be the one who would end up as couple?

Well, Catherine Zeta Jones doesn't look like Michael Douglas, but they seems to be a harmonious couple. But Tom Cruise is pretty similar to Kathy Holmes.

I guess it is not that they have been similar to each other from the beginning. Instead, they become similar to each other after some while they live together as a couple.

I would agree with glory11, couple would appear to have similar faces when they have been together for quite a long time. Do you know that it could happen to friends as well? I mean, in my experience, whenever people would see me and my friend, they would say we look like sisters.

I agree, couple who ends up together are quite alike. I don't think that the reason is that you are in love with yourself, it is more of he/she is your soul mate. What do you think?

Haha this makes me remind of what my friends used to tell me. It's true that we do want someone who shares the same likes and dislikes it's like being twins.

It could be true to other people. I do believe that couple with similarities would end up together however, it would give excitement to the relationship if both of you would be different. By the way, if you were to choose, would you prefer someone similar to your personality or the opposite one?

It's a very interesting question, Brandy. For me, I would choose someone opposite of my personality. You would learn more when both of you have differences. Could there be some thrill if both of you have similarities as to anything?

Hmm lets see we both have a lot of things in common that we thought before was our differences. I guess those differences we had before was adjusted to match our likes and dislikes.

well I wouldn't say a mirror of yourself, as me and my husband are quite different, but get on great, thank god! But i think i know where the idea comes from, as in order to be together with someone you like something about them, which is something in you too.

Maybe it is just because they are always together, that's why they became look alike.

No, I don't believe in that at all and I have never encountered this with other people either. You may have similar personality traits but I have yet to see a couple who ends up looking like each other seems a little too far fetched to me.

I guess you have a point, Reira. It could be that the couples have already adjusted with one another. What could be the best thing to do to keep a relationship?

There are lots of things you could o to keep the relationship, Brandy. Some of which are to trust, understand and respect your partner. You have to be sweet all the time. Do you believe that we look for partners with similar personality like our father?

I think it's best if you will do things which your partner really likes. It's not that you are trying to change yourself for your partner but it's kinda more like giving a chance to try something new. Also there's a lot of things to do to make a relationship work out.

If we are talking about personality / character, then no, I wouldn't want someone who is a mirror image of me. My husband and I have many similarities, but we are also different, and that is good.

As to physical appearance, I have noticed that some couples do look somewhat alike. I think it is very cute.

Yes, it makes sense. Me and my boyfriend have been together for 7 years now and people constantly say we look alike.

Wow, it could happen to friends also? It's interesting and inspiring. So we have to choose our friends, do we? Thinking about that, I feel envious with Angelina Jolie and Jessica Alba's friends LOL>

That's interesting... Now that I think about it, a lot of the couples I know that have been together for a long period of time, look alike. LOL!! That's really funny.

Ya, I don't agree when people say "opposites attrack".. I mean, sure they may ATTRACK, but I don't think that someone who's the opposite of you will be with you for life. I think you have to be like someone to get along with them, for the most part. But ya... I've seen it go both ways, so I'm not sure. May just be the luck of the draw.

This is what I heard of, After the couple are together for a long period of time, they end looking somewhat alike. Sometimes, personality are beginning to be similar also, because they somehow adapt each other's peronality. but this is not totally same personality as the other. there would remain something different from each other.

In my case, I don't think my husband has a similar personality with my father. They are really different. Anyway, maybe some people would like someone that could protect and secure the family just like what most fathers would do. It depends with the person. Does your husband and your father have similar personality?
