My wife is quite different than I am, in many ways. She was an arts major who lived in a punk rock house that had shows with out of town bands in the basement. I was an Electrical Engineering major who listened to a lot of prog rock. None of our mutual friends expected us to hook up. We have been together over 20 years, and the fact that we are different means we are more often able to complement each others' skill sets (not least in the raising of our daughter). Just one data point, of course, but there you are.
- jl2718 6y agoYou sound almost exactly alike. Music. School. Friends. These are all quite superficial, but it points to very similar patterns of thought and interest. You’ll see what I mean if you ever find yourself dating full strangers again.
- rossdavidh 6y agoProg rock and punk rock are, yes, both music. She was formerly an art major, I was in electrical engineering, although she was forced to drop out before I met her due to financial issues. So, obviously not complete opposites, but not "almost exactly alike".
