That's a really good question. It depends on the relationship, I guess.
If you were talking about a life partner, I guess I would want someone like me, who saw the world the way I did. I would need to feel understood and I would want to understand them too.
However, if you're talking about more casual friendships and relationships, I do enjoy the company of people who are a little more outrageous than I am. They help to bring me out of myself and make me laugh at life, make me take risks.
I guess there's room in life for different kinds of people, they all play their part and they all have their value, whether they are like or unlike us. They're all welcome.

when it comes to friends ive had friends who were a lot like me and some who were really different. I always felt more comfortable with the ones who were more similar to my personallity.
So with a relationship I think I would want someone with a similar personality. I dont think anyone can be EXACTLY the same though. Having some small differences I think is good.
But I think I would much rather be exactly the same then totally different.

depends on what traits of the personality. i want someone who is laid back, open minded who doesnt take themselves seriously, but i also want a bloke who is less prohibited than me eg will make the first move on me.
for me i want someone who compliemts my personality, but also brings out parts of me which u need someone else to do.

I'm guessing that which is better for me. Since this of course may just be in the eye of the beholder and it depends really on my own reaction (as well as hers) I really don't know. I think for sure someone who was like me at least in the past would have a better understanding of where I'm at whereas the other may not know why the **** I am the way I am and probably would care less, but who knows really?

i don't choose my friends therefor people who is or was my friend comes in a lot of flavors and colors , i love people diversity.
but yes they have to have at least a little bit in common with me, but it would be boring if all they were equal... i can't stand overconfident people.
as for a parter, i think that having in common is essential, but i wouldn't be able to stand someone exactly like me. I would even say that i'd prefer someone diferent from me, but not totally uncompatible - i wouldn't be able to keep a relationship with someone futile or with a daily partier...
Yet i've seen relationships between water and wine and they ended very right.

Yep, you guys are right, there are a lot of personalities. Some are nice and gentle and some are evil and demonic. :? But, i guess when i wrote this, i had a totally different perspective. I imagined myself sitting at a table talking to a girl who is not like me, she likes to talk, very curious, and confident. Unlike me who does not like small talk or have much confidence.
I would rather have someone talk to me than be the one talking, i mean if i was with a person who is the same as me. Well, to be honest it will very awkward. We'll end up regretting the things we did not do or say when we had the opportunity.

I wouldn't be able to get along with someone who was the complete opposite of me. I've tried to be friends with people like that before, & it's never worked out... we always just kind of drifted apart. (well, I could say that with pretty much everyone I've tried to be friends with, but that's another story...)
The few people in my life that I am closest to, are very much like me & have similar personalities. I find it almost impossible to think of things to say to someone who isn't like me at all. I wouldn't have anything to relate to, which is something I always feel I have to be able to do in any sort of relationship.
