I agree that there is an element of polarity in romantic attraction, just not that it corresponds to specific traits that belong to women or men. I believe that the same type of polarity you're talking about (minus the specific "men=x, women=y" thing) occurs in homosexual relationships, too. Now that I think about it, maybe it's not "polarity" so much as "fit." Like the yin/yang symbol is ostensibly about polarity -- that doesn't quite capture it for me. Our qualities and strenghts flow and change throughout our lives, and the most remarkable thing I find about attraction is what I also like about that yin/yang circle -- that there's an attraction of the mutable, the eternal, the comfortable, and the exciting. The Fit.
