Science says we are attracted to people who look like ourselves

Jim Bob Scratcher

Would the good people of After hours share this sentiment ?

I must be very unique so

I have occasionally looked in the mirror first thing in the morning and tried to swipe left.

So no.

I look like an egg, my missus doesn't look like an egg, so, no.

I was going out with a guy for a while who looked like a male version of me, egg shaped head too, glasses, dark hair and eyes. Was a bit weird though, I looked like I could be his sister.

According to research reported in the July 2010 issue of Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, we are attracted to people who resemble our parents or ourselves.

Lady is a tramp

I have a friend who's this gorgeous brunette with long hair, green eyes, a fab figure, massive boobies. She has a girlfriend who's pretty much identical to her!

They're both real girlie girls too, they swap clothes and do each other's hair and make-up etc. They're very cute together, but I just would find it weird to be sexually intimate with someone who looks so like me.

I feel this story needs a thread of its own.

Makes sense, I'm a total honey.

Yourself isit

It would be hard to explain multi racial attraction then.

Seems nonsense.

Yes, out of pure respect for Lady Is A Tramp of course. Wouldn't want it to get lost in the shuffle.

Science might have to change her mind if she ever gets a gawk at me

I assume this user agrees with the study:

100% agreed.

I worked with a lad who went out with basically his twin, we used to joke that he would photoshop in a picture of himself in a wig to stand beside him in photos on facebook.

But she was real. And terrifying.

Hmmmmm - I appear to be attracted to people with long hair - wide hips - breasts - and a vagina. As I have none of these features - I am finding myself doubting the science here

I've seen the partner resembles parent thing a couple of times. Personally I am completely averse to anyone who resembles my father. I'm fed up of looking at my own face so not looking for a partner that looks like me.

What about opposites attract?

That's why I stay away from mirrors in public places. The boners I get from looking at myself are fierce embarrassing.

I was in the NCT waiting room on Monday and in walked a brother and sister. They even liked the same band as they were wearing the band t-shirt.
The brother and sister then sat very close to each other and started cuddling and kissing.
I thought it was a very friendly family until I read this thread.

Go fcuk yourself.

Science says a lot of stuff, and then contradicts itself. It's like Donald Trump.
I wouldn't trust it.
