Do ‘opposites attract’ relationships actually work?

I have a real soft spot for a male friend.

However, we are the most unlikely pairing ever in everything including lifestyle, income, appearance, personality (with me being the rich, older, glamorous, power woman and him being the starving artist who lives off the grid, if this were a 1990s romcom/dodgy porn film).

Do these dynamics actually ever work in reality though?

I’ve never considered it until a mutual friend took me to one side last week and asked why we male friend and I weren’t dating, given it was crystal clear to everyone that we like each other.
