"I'm a Bleedin' Romantic"




"What's your blood type?" How's that for a pickup line? It's not as weird as you might think.

My friend started talking about blood type as a sign of romantic compatibility. I simply thought she was wacky. But upon trawling the net for some research, the idea that blood types can be a matchmaker, much like how others believe that astrological signs can indicate compatibility, is an idea that's been around for a long time. And researched, too, by a Japanese scientist. It reminded me about the four humours the Greeks assigned to bodily fluids.


From Elle Canada:
Romantic chemistry is in your blood
Astrology aside, your blood type works as the new matchmaker.
By Steve Burgess

So, here's the breakdown and see if it's true to your type:

Type O: Type O’s are outgoing, and very social. They are initiators, although they don’t always finish what they start. Creative and popular, they love to be the center of attention and appear very self confident. Worst Traits: Vain, careless, ruthless. O is most compatible with O, and AB.

Type A: While outwardly calm, they have such high standards (perfectionists) that they tend to be balls of nerves on the inside. Type A’s are the most artistic of the blood groups. They can be shy, are conscientious, trustworthy, and sensitive. Worst Traits: Fastidious, over earnest. A is most compatible with A and AB.

Type B: Goal oriented and strong minded, type B’s will start a task and continue it until completed, and completed well. Type B’s are the individualists of the blood group categories and find their own way in life. Worst Traits: Selfish, irresponsible, arrogant. B is most compatible with B and AB.

Type AB: Type AB’s are the split personalities of the blood groups. They can be both outgoing and shy, confident and timid. While responsible, too much responsibility will cause a problem. They are trustworthy and like to help others. Worst Traits: Critical, indecisive. AB is most compatible with AB, B, A and O.
