I confess the main reason I got interested in this space was the people you listed as your favourite authors. As you aptley pointed out similarities in areas draw people together, in fairness though it’s much easier to get to know people you agree with than disagree with.

Many people I know are brought together by their common interests but it’s not always the case. My only remaining childhood friend and I love to argue on politics, science, religion, spirituality and generaly disagree but even years later I still learn from his perception of the universe. I suppose there is a deep understanding of one another’s nature and it’s those relationships that can really help you grow.

Oh yeah and dude fix your site it’s a bit messed up, but keep up the good work

As for romantic relationships I dunno really, the don’t tend to last very long for me so can’t say either way. I really enjoy a good debate or discussion which after a while does not gel too well, especially since I prefer a good conversation to television any day.
