Opposities Attract? @vickibatman #RLFblog
Opposites Attract?
I come from a family of four girly girls, and my other half comes
from four rough and tumble boys. We have two boys. So yes, the testosterone gets
thick at my house!

Running out and doing the football thing? Not so much.
Running to the antique mall? Yipee. My men would rather stick
needles in their eyes. LOL

Sometimes, there are remarkable differences between the opposite
sexes. Check these out (mostly generalities):

See? Just from this small list, we notice the big differences.
But isn’t being different a good thing? Would we always want
to like the same things?
to like the same things?
What I notice is how the columns complement each other. Kinda
like a balance. So no, we don’t always like the same things. I don’t always watch
romantic comedies. I adore Indiana Jones and James Bond, but will never be a huge
fan of Duck Dynasty! On occasion, I eat a donut and deny myself dessert, like bad
bread pudding. And my other half loves HGTV. Go figure.

Our characters — usually — imitate real life. Can’t you see
a hunky guy chowing down on humongous steak, and the girl daintily eating a salad
or smaller meal? (And all the while she is secretly thinking “I wish I could
eat like that.”)

Or our hero lounging on the couch with remote superglued to his
hand while the heroine is about to blow her top because he won’t land on the romantic
comedy? She picks up her HGTV magazine.

Not all of these generalities are hard core true. See the cooking
thingy, for example. My men would rather throw meat on the grill while I like to
gather a couple of things together and “assemble” something to eat.

The truth is if we are identical, we’d bore each other. We want
to be interesting to our other half. To balance and complement each other. And occasionally,
bend our other half’s way because that is what we do in a relationship. We grow,
live, do.

Let’s add to the list. What are some guy/girl things?
