Extreme opposites attract where the two characters share absolutely nothing in common and actively insult the things the other person likes. I tend to think relationships work better when people share at least some thing in common or at least are willing to try new things, and I can't imagine being with anyone who actively insulted the things I like every chance they got.

All the player needs is the love of a good woman to change their ways (and its never the other way around). Although weirdly it works for me with Barney/Robin on HIMYM. But most of the time, I really hate it because it makes no sense. People don't just randomly change who they are, and its rarely written believably.

Along with the one above, the guy always having more experience with the girl (whether its sexual or just romantic). Like taking another HIMYM example, when we see the episode from the Mother's point of view, of course we aren't shown her having the same amount or type of sexual or romantic relationships as Ted. Because its fine for a guy to have as many partners as possible before "the one", but heaven forbid that she does.

Actually, along with the above as well, even the idea of "the one" or "love at first sight". I dislike the idea that there is only one perfect person out there for everyone, that its possible to know that a person is that one right at first sight, and that no other relationships in a person's life matters or can ever be meaningful at all.

Agree to pretty much all of this, although I give a bit more leeway with the top one sometimes(depends on how much I enjoy the characters interacting/other reasons).

As for "the one" idea I just find it depressing, like there is only one person in the entire world that I will ever love and will ever truly love me back, like really? Considering how many people there are in the world it is so unlikely that anyone will ever find their true love, so what they settle for the rest of their lives? No thanks.

IA the "soulmate" idea is completely bogus. And also the reason why so many marriages fail, IMO; if you're going to get into a marriage in the first place, you'd best ensure you will be able to tolerate living with the other party, for the rest of both of your lives, if necessary, and if one of you needs more care than the other. Not to mention you should both be 100% certain you are compatible in what you both want out of the marriage, i.e. kids or no kids, pets or no pets, single or dual incomes, joint or split finances, home ownership or not, the list is literally a mile long, and only setting yourself up for disaster, if you don't consider any of those things because he/she is "Teh One!!!!!111eleventy" based on....what? Just because you liked the look of them? You "just had a feeling"? Yeah, you're gonna have a bad time.

TL:DR; People who jump into marriage with total strangers are just begging for problems.

Just because you are soulmates doesn't mean that you still don't have to work at the relationship. I mean Romeo and Juliet were soulmates, but they still had to work at their communication...oh wait.
