Opposites Attract???

There is a show telecasted on channel V, which is the second best Music and lifestyle channel in India, which is called "Channel V Dare To Date?". It involves about hooking up two different and characteristically opposite people on a romantic Date. Its funny how the two, who are bound to spend the day with each other and get to know each other or worse come what may, endure each other for a whole day according to the rules of this "Dating service".
The Host of the show ( Who seemingly looks gay and acts like one. And mind you I said 'seemingly'.)is outrageously annoying and sometimes I am tempted to just chuck the remote at my Telly. And well the contestants who apply for this kind of shows, seem to me that they don't really have relationship problems, or mentally retarded, or less attractive. Maybe they 're on the show for 30 minutes fame. But somehow more than fame they seem to make a fool out of themselves by acting out themselves on their "date".
But I am not here to comment on how garish the show is or how funny I find the whole concept. But I was just wondering if hooking up "opposites" does work and stand by that age old saying "Opposites attract each other". Maybe this concept was derived from Atomic sciences where its is said, Like poles repel each other and Unlike poles attract each other. Who knew?
But honestly extending the thought, how opposite are we talking about here? I have heard that opposites attract each other a lot many times. But do they really? For me dating has always worked with a person who has some amount of similar interests or has the same intellectual mentality as me or atleast agrees with me and respects me for it. I wonder if a soft spoken, well mannered, conservative and traditional girl date a vulgar, aggressive and ill mannered slob? I know I would'nt. By mystics, I do believe astrologically opposite signs do attract each other. For example, an Aquarius and a Leo, Scorpio and Taurus, Aries and Libran. Maybe here its true. But leaving this aside, characteristic differences are bound to repel each other, and I am saying this through experience. Some say opposites are attracted to each other as they balance each other out. But too much of difference can also hamper ones stability and peace in a relationship. Guess all look for a relationship which is more balanced out and completes us.

After all we are'nt living in a perfect world. We need to work towards making one. or maybe just accept the fact that 'nothings perfect' is less cumbersome.
