Thoughts on Soulmates

A soulmate is someone who is similar to you recreationally, but different productively.

This is because your appreciation will lead to the same goals, but when working towards them, you’ll make up for what the other lacks.

The love of chemistry is the former, and the attraction of compatibility is the latter.

You find your soul in the relation of friends, but you find your mate in the contrast of partners. When the two come together, that’s when you have a soulmate.

My definition of a soul mate is quite different. To me, a soul mate doesn't need to be a partner in your life, but can be a friend who has a special connection.
I don't believe that you have to have a single soul mate, but that you can have 2, 3 or even several soul mates.

@DragonFruit I also believe they don’t have to be a partner and there are many soulmates one can find. So how exactly is that different?

@Reject You basically said in your original post that when you combine a friend and a partner you have a soul mate.
What you said in response to my comment is not what you said in your original post....which also said that a soul mate is the same recreationally but your complete opposite productively (which I also don't believe).
Your definition from the initial post doesn't come close to my definition.
I don't agree with much of what was said in the original post.

@DragonFruit The agreement of how two consenting adults will conduct their relationship, wether that’s monogamous or polyamorous, closed partners or open friends etc, is based on chemistry.
However the prosperity of this arrangement is based on compatibility.

@Reject Now you just went off in a completely different direction. I have no idea why you are even bringing this into this thread.
I'm out...goodbye for now.

@DragonFruit I was just trying to help you understand. If you can’t that’s okay. Perhaps I just didn’t explain things well. The problem with stating things simply is it leaves a lot of room to misinterpret, but if you state things in a more complex way, it’s too much to read.

@Reject I'm a retired attorney.....I can understand simple or complex. You contradicted your original post. I have no desire to continue this.

@DragonFruit Alright. Have a good one!
