I don’t think Rarity and Dash’s personality’s are quite as conflicting as people make them out to be. There are obvious differences, sure, but there are things you can work with between the two. They both like the spotlight, they both are rather competitive, they both can be overly dramatic, and they both want to be the best in the world at what they do. I think there is at least a chance for them to have a pretty good understand of each other. Also, you can throw in the fact that Dash doesn’t mind looking girly, as long as she looks ‘cool’, and Rarity can definitely help her image when she’s trying to impress others.
And hey, it’s not as much of a crackship as Fluttermac or OctaScratch.

So AJ and Rari haven’t conflicting personalities and have the same hobbies to be a great ship? Or Pinkie with Fluttershy? Or Discord with Twilight?
And it just requires ignoring that they have almost nothing in common and have strongly conflicting personalities with goals that would take them along divergent paths in life. Nothing a good pair of shipping goggles can’t see past.
