I was just wondering does similarity affects compatibility within two human beings. It doesn't matter what kind of relationship. Friends, lovers, families, colleagues, classmates, business partners etc. Does similarity affects?
I think it does. Similarity has a pretty big influence here. A few important factors that involve in similarity:-
1. Race,
2. Background,
3.Favourites,
4. Habits,
5. Likes and dislikes.
Extra factor --> Appearance
Say if two individuals have the same race, background, they tend to understand each other better even if they've got totally opposite favourites, habits, likes and dislikes. On the other hand, two individuals with the favourites, habits, likes and dislikes with different ethnic backgrouds will get along as well. However, individuals with totally different background, different race, different favourites, habits and likes or dislikes can never get along. And putting in the extra factor of appearance, even if the only thing they like about each other is the appearance, they can never get along as well. In some cases, two individuals with same race, grew up in same environment but different kind of educational background plus family influences, different favourites, habits, likes and dislike not putting the extra factor into account, might not get along very well too. Individuals with same ethnic, different background, different habits, little similarity in likes and dislikes (2 in 10 for example), can get along very well.
This is getting complicated. What was the bottom line? Similarity is very important in maintaining any relationships.
Note: Ok ok. I know there isn't any important point mentioned here. Just bare with my rubbish once in a while ok.
