I would say it is better to find someone who disagrees with the views you have on the world. If you find someone who “grinds your gears” in a sense. That way you two have something to discuss when your relationship gets dry. Finding a single person that has identical opinions, hobbies, and views with you would mean you are dating a clone of your self. Would you think it would get boring if you had everything in common with each other, same interests, same opinions? I’m not saying find your opposite and instantly fall in love for them. Find someone who compliments you, not duplicates
