The saying "opposites attract?"?

Question:does that necessarily mean that non-opposites don't attract?

Answers:
It doesn't mean anything. Somebody just decided that the two words "opposites" and "attract" when put together sounded profound, and other people bought into it because they thought it made them look smart.

Human-to-human attraction is a profoundly complicated issue. Two words don't scratch the surface of explaining it.
it means that non-non-opposites don't not attract
No, it's just a saying.
it is probably connected to the Yin and Yang, but mostly it is just a silly saying.
No it odes not mean that non-opposites or people /things with similar qualities do not attract. The phrase 'opposites attract' means that one side compliments the short coming of the other, making both comlpete thus . It is human to get attracted or drawn towards something which one does not posses himself/herself, but that surely does not mean that you are not drawn towards something similaar that you already have.
Well, when it comes to any relationship, it's all about balance. Two ppl who are headstrong and stubborn and always have to have their own way prolly will not get along very well, b/c they'll never agree, b/c their flaws are too similar.
So, when ppl are attracted to each other, and seem to have nothing in common, the phrase "Opposites Attract!" is often used, b/c they balance each other out w/ their differences.
With magnets, yes, I think it does.
People also say, "Like attracts like."
