Similarities People usually like people who are like themselves. The more things you have in common with people, the more likely you will love them and they will love you back. A lover who shares common dreams and ambitions will provide for your esteem needs easier. When someone shares similar hobbies and interests with you, there is little conflict about what to do for entertainment. If you and your lover share similar attitudes about sex and have similar sex drives, you are more sexually compatible. Also, if both of you are materialistic to the same degree, there will be less arguments about financial issues. Having similarities makes it easier to understand one another and conflicts are less. Ideally, these factors should be similar: ethnicity/culture, language, intelligence, emotional intelligence, schooling, income, social economic status, moral/values, hobbies/interests, religion, ambition, life goals, sex attitude/drives, and family goals. |
