Do Opposites Really Attract?

Synopsis

While many people say “opposites attract”, when it comes to choosing a mate, research suggests people who are similar tend to do better in a relationship.  What’s a word for a well-matched relationship? Homogamosis. A recent survey of 5000 single people said they would not be able to be in a romantic relationship with someone who didn’t share their political views.  Studies show we are naturally more attracted to people who are similar to ourselves in appearance, beliefs, and interests.  It’s no fun hanging out with someone who thinks your hobbies are stupid, right? However, it turns out that introverts and extroverts make great couples.  Introverts are typically good listeners and extroverts love to talk.  Sounds like the perfect marriage to me.  What’s a word for an unhappy marriage?  Cagamosis.
