Jim and I had quite different personalities. We had common philosophy and were into many things in common, but he came from a much different experience than I.
With that he taught me a lot and he was the one that pushed us to travel the world. So, in many ways we were opposite and we stayed attracted for 5 years.
Brenda and I were also very opposite in our life experience and we had some differences, such as she was not vegetarian and not a nudist, but we fell for each other and spent two decades together.
