What magnets repel to?
Not only magnets, but metal repel. There are two kinds of charges that metal contain, positive and negative. If you push a positively-charged magnet towards another positively-charged magnet, they'll repel, maybe because one type of charge needs the other to attract. If this one type of charge comes close to another charge of the same kind, it won't receive what it needs, and feel "resent" to the other charge, then repel. If you push a negatively-charged magnet towards another negatively-charged magnet, they will also repel.
