| The notion of “birds of a feather flock together” points out that [[similarity]] and/or complementarity is a crucial determinant of interpersonal attraction. [[Studies]] about attraction indicate that people are strongly attracted to look-a-likes in [[physical]] and [[social]] appearance ("like attracts like"). This similarity is in the broadest sense: similarity in bone-structure, characteristics, life [[goals]], [[ethnicity]] and [[appearance]]. The more these points match, the [[happier]] people are in a [[relationship]]. | | The notion of “birds of a feather flock together” points out that [[similarity]] and/or complementarity is a crucial determinant of interpersonal attraction.

− | The lookalike [[effect]] plays an important role called self-affirmation. A [[person]] typically enjoys receiving [[confirmation]] of every aspect of his or her [[life]], [[ideas]], [[attitudes]] and personal characteristics and it seems that people are looking for an [[image]] of themselves to spend their [[life]] with. One of the basic principles of interpersonal attraction is the rule of similarity: similarity is attractive. It is this underlying [[principle]] that applies to both [[friendships]] and [[romantic]] relationships. There is a high correlation between the [[proportion]] of [[attitudes]] [[shared]], and the degree of interpersonal attraction. Cheerful people like to be around other cheerful people and [[negative]] people would rather be around other negative people.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpersonal_attraction] | + | The lookalike [[effect]] plays an important role called self-affirmation.
