The recent union of Mandy Moore and singer, Ryan Adams, has got me wondering, do opposites really attract? Sure, I have heard people use this expression and even seen examples of it in real life but I have never experienced it myself. Most people probably look for a partner who shares mutual interests and values, but by doing that are we missing out on a world of love and opportunity a partnership with a person unlike us would bring? Celebrities have been doing the opposites attract thing for years. Here are a few examples of some of the famous (and infamous) pairings of opposites:

Not so long ago, what was considered sexy was considerably different than today’s perception. I was watching a TV show recently and something struck me as odd. It took me a while to figure out that the romantic female lead was…big. She was not skinny and it seemed wrong. That internal realization was followed by: “WHAT? Am I seriously thinking that?” In this case, there was probably more to it, perhaps there was no chemistry in the onscreen romance or maybe she was miscast in a role she didn’t fit, but the impression stuck and got me thinking.

A few years ago, I hooked up with a celebrity online, a bonafide rock star. It was just a chance meeting, he was trolling a forum where I hang out and we started to chat, and it was like a lightning bolt of pure attraction. Before long we were chatting all day every day. He didn’t say who he was at first, and when he told me, I did not believe him, but since I liked him so much I pretended to. Eventually, I did become convinced he was who he claimed to be, because he began to mention things we’d discuss on his blog and even during an online radio interview he’d asked me to tune into.

Lets face it, all of us have fallen for a jerk at some point (some of us more than others). They may not even be the “bad boy” type but whatever they’re doing (or not doing, for that matter) has got you hung up. No matter how many times they screw up or how emotionally out of reach they are, you just can’t get enough. Here’s a list of some of the most memorable jerks of television and film:

Enigmatic TV show Lost delivers drama, mystery and intrigue, but a lot of the buzz centers on the romantic entanglements of Kate, Jack and Sawyer. Initially, she was drawn to Jack, who quickly emerged as the group leader. And why not? He’s moody, intelligent, great looking, and an overall take-charge kinda guy. What a catch! I’d totally do him. Kate seemed to have hit the jackpot. This is a guy we could really settle down with, even if he has the emotional range of a flounder and signs of some serious mental instability. Hey, who doesn’t come with baggage? He’s a doctor; mom would be so proud. But then when Kate plants a big sloppy wet kiss on him with her hair all sexy wild and her skimpy tank top plastered to her rockin’ body, he doesn’t seem to have any clue what to do with her. My guess is the writers were trying to create sexual tension, but just wound up leaving Jack looking terminally confused, and not in a good way. Now Sawyer, he’d have known what to do. He’d have thrown me…her - I meant her, I swear - right down in the mud and the weeds and had her clothes off in seconds.

Which brings us to the bad, bad boy of Lost, and the dilemma faced by nearly every woman alive (we really should know better). Sawyer is big, he’s surly, he’s scruffy, and sometimes he’s downright mean. He’s got a shady past, selfish tendencies, and no discernible future. And still we want to rip his clothes off with our teeth. The question is why him and not Jack? Is it because a dependable guy like Jack would probably protest about the cost of the shirt? “Wait, stop! what are you doing? This is a silk shirt, do you know how much this costs? I’ll take it off and fold it neatly and then we can resume lovemaking.” Any guy I can imagine saying “resume lovemaking” just can’t get me juiced up.
My personal theory is that it’s probably primal instinct dating back to the dawn of mankind, when survival depended Full Article >>
