That's why I don't think BB would work out if it were a thing. Sure, it's pretty damn cute seeing an introverted bookworm and free-spirited extravert get together (And I have no problems with Yuri pairings), but in the long wrong they would have problems that would make it difficult to maintain a relationship.

Yang is just too easy-going for a person like Blake. At first, Blake could find Yang's go-with-the-flow actions endearing; but later as they have to make decisions, there will be conflict. As evidence in the Vol. 2 trailer, Blake is often concerned with future events; and Yang's more free-spirited nature could lead to Blake becoming irritated with her.

Blake is also just too introverted to be able to keep up with Yang. Blake would much rather curl up with a book than go out on a weekend, and would likely not be a fan of large social events. This could lead an extravert like Yang to get bored quite easily, as they have totally different views on fun.

I don't dislike the BB ship because it is Yuri, I dislike it because it doesn't hold up under scrutiny.

WR makes more sense than BB (Although I personally don't ship either), as most problems Ruby and Weiss experience is more due to Weiss keeping everyone at arms-length than any real personality conflicts. Despite that, I see Ruby and Weiss in more of a sisterly relationship than a romantic one. My thoughts, to the letter.
