- imwillofficial 6y agoI’m positing that more differences = weaker relationship. Are we agreeing?
- Kim_Bruning 6y agoThat depends a bit. Differences can complement each other. Some people might be better at some things, while others are better at other things. (thus combining strengths) Some people might actually be really bad at some other things yet again, while others could happen to be very good at them (thus covering each others weaknesses) When you have people with different backgrounds and training all working together you can do things together that you wouldn't otherwise be able to do separately.
- idrios 6y agoFor sure. I was just stating why echo chambers are bad. In the context of a dating app, I think dating right now suffers from a totally diffent and unrelated effect where the pool of potential partners has become so big that people have unrealistic expectations in what they want in a partner. So in that context I actually think anything that narrows the list of potential partners is a good thing. But still, it's yet another facet of our lives where we deal with disagreements by putting them out of sight rather than communicating and understanding.
