I like big differences, but there have to be similarities, too. Points of connection.
E.g. I once had a relationship with a guy from rural china, his dad was in the military there. That is pretty different from me. But, for commonalities, he was smart and quiet and getting a grad degree in a 'hard science' field. And he was nice, and we had good sexual chemistry .
Another happy story, here. An acquaintance warned me that she was "floozy". Apparently, I like floozies and we haven't been apart since that night in March of 1998.
Depends, are you referring to physical features or to personality?
Myself, I usually find guys attractive who don't look like me at all. My whole family is pale, blonde and blue-eyed, so I prefer men with dark hair. My boyfriend is latin, so he's darker than me, has black hair and dark eyes and doesn't look like me at all.
If you refer to personality- We're not the same person of course, we even come from different cultures- But I think it's very important to have similarities, like interests, point of views, future plans. For example, my boyfriend and I are both not really big party and drinking people, so if he was a guy who liked to go out and get drunk every weekend I think it wouldn't work out between us as well as it does.
I think it depends on how opposite, and what those traits are. I think one of the reasons me and my guy work well together is that he's a slightly manic type A and I'm more laid back. He keeps me motivated to try harder and really pushes me, while I remind him to stand back and enjoy life a little more.
Looks wise... I guess he's fairly similar to me, but I've never put a lot of stock on looks so I suppose I never really thought about my 'type'.

Sometimes people really don't know a person just from observing.Many times they are just rumors.
They say "Opposites attract but the like minded last"
That has been my experience as well.
I think if you are with somebody who is the complete opposite of you, you need to be very tolerant and able to spend alot of time apart, doing each your own thing. That's not for me.
