In what ways are you different from your S/O?

He’s white, I’m black. He’s a computer geek who loves math, I’m a more artsy, creative type. He is a country boy, I’m a city girl. He likes scars, I can’t stand them. He worries less and I’m more cautious. He’s closer to his mom, I’m closer to my dad. He’s a man, I’m a woman. He’s skinny, I’m fat. His family is poor, mine is middle-class. He likes his meat bloody, I am happy with well-done meat. He’s more expressible with his love, I’m a bit more subdued.

We may look alike and have similar interests, but there plenty of differences.

He’s a procrastinator and never got “good” grades in school; total opposite of me.
He’s more quiet and more shy than I am.
He doesn’t enjoy partying as much as I do, though he likes it a lot more than he used to.
He is definitely less organized than I am; you should’ve seen his “binder” last year. :P
He’s more into sports than I am (though in terms of our athletic ability, we’re pretty similar).
He’s a talented artist (drawing) and I can’t draw like that at all.
He’s more secretive; I tend to speak my mind.
And there’s probably more, but those are the biggest ones that stand out.

He has male parts, I have female parts, and it works quite well. :)

Seriously though, I’m the cleaner, the planner, the cook. He’s the guts, the harder worker, the entertainment.

He is hyper-organized, I’m not. At all.
He is financially cautious and well-off. I’m not.
He likes sci fi. I like emotional novels and romantic comedies.
He’s never changed a diaper and doesn’t really know what to say to a kid. I’m a nanny.
He’s mostly practical. I’m whatever the opposite of that is.
He’s a planner and thinks about things for a long time before acting. I’m fairly spontaneous.
He forgets to eat. I forget to stop eating.
He lets his head lead. I let my heart lead.

and man, do I love him. :)

How much time have you got?

Loads of time. :)

I don’t fart.

she has big boobies.
I don’t.

I am more organized, she waits till the last minute to do things.
I am more careful, she’s a klutz. :)
I am more quiet than her, she’s not loud but she’s louder than I am.
My music style doesn’t variey, hers does.
I eat meat, she doesn’t.
If I don’t like something I say it, she doesn’t.

She’s in IT I’m in medicine, She enjoys cleaning and can’t get enough of it i am a neat freak so i won’t have to clean, she has a vagina i have a penis, she won’t let the dog sleep on the bed i don’t like the dog sleeping on the floor where i can step on him when i wake up, she thinks she’s always right… i know she is.

Aw, too late to edit my answer.

I do a most of his grocery shopping. The way I decide if I should get him something is to ask myself, “Would I like this?” If the answer is no, I get it for him.

We seriously could not be more different in the superficial ways.

She has boobies and a vagina, I have a peepee.
Also I exist, she doesn’t yet.

I’m a procrastinator, he’s not.
He’s organized, I’m not.
His idea of “clean” is uncluttered. I don’t mind clutter, but I can’t stand dust or grime.
I’m easy-going, he’s more high-strung.
He says whatever is on his mind, while I don’t like confrontations.
He’s Italian. I’m Irish/English.
He drinks gin and tonic, I drink martinis.
He lets the kids beat on him, I let the kids read with me.
I read mostly fiction, he reads mostly non-fiction.
He likes mindless reality TV, and I hate mindless reality TV.
I have a crush on Dane Cook. He doesn’t.
He doesn’t have a sweet tooth, and I only have sweet teeth.
He has moles, I have freckles.
I like to catch bugs with the kids, he likes to catch footballs with the kids.
He can build just about anything out of Legos. I absolutely cannot.
He’s a gifted artist but can’t write. I can write but I can’t paint.
I shave my legs, and he doesn’t.
But we’re alike in all the important ways!

I am six foot two, she is five foot two.
She likes babies, I find them annoying and nerve-wracking.
She likes movies with talking animals, I hate them. (not the animated ones, the ones like Homeward Bound).
I like spiders, she is creeped out by them.
I think my Hissers are cute, she thinks they are not and refuses to touch them.
She is content to watch several TV programs, I can barely stand to be in the same room as a TV (unless I am using it to play video games).
She works with DD adults, and gets paid to change them when they are incontinent. I wouldn’t do her job for $1,000 an hour. She would do it for free.
I can drive a stick shift, she cannot.
I am an excellent speller and wordsmith, she is not.
She is an excellent baker, I am not so good at it.
I can create awesome recipes with just a few random ingredients, she has to follow printed recipes to the letter.

She can sew, I cannot.
She is dyslexic, I am not.
I am OCD, she is not.
I am Belgian, she is not.
She is adopted, I am not.
She has the patience of a saint, I have very little patience at all.

She likes baths, I prefer showers.
I like lemon and lime and raw avocadoes, and she doesn’t. (not all three together at the same time).
I like fresh carrot juice and she doesn’t.

…and that’s all I can think of at the moment.

Well @hug_of_war already answered and pointed out most of the differences between us. I’ll just say that I think we have a lot more in common than we have differences and that the differences we have are good because we balance each other out.

He’s a cautious and rigorous thinker, I’m a positive all over the place thinker.
He withdraws when he’s going through a hard time, I reach out. (<—problematic)
He’s a sit down, intense discussion person while I love to dance and to party.
He takes long showers, mine are military style.
He loves to sit in the sun (lizard man) and I NEED the shade. (I’m hyper sensitive to sunlight)
He loves to hold my hand, I hate to hold hands at all, though for him I do make exceptions.
His eyes are blue, and he was blessed with beautiful eyelashes. Mine are dark brown, and God certainly gyped me in the eyelash department.
He remembers… my words and our happenings, while my memory is very selective…
gosh, answering this question is making me feel all lovey-dovey..!!
