Ever notice that your significant other looks, well, a lot like you? It may not be a coincidence. Psychologist R. Chris Fraley of the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign digitally morphed subjects' faces with strangers' faces; he found that morphed faces were more attractive to subjects when their own face was included, USA Today reports.
"When you have a face that looks more like you, you tend to trust it more and think it looks more cooperative," Tony Little, a research fellow in psychology at the University of Stirling in Scotland who is studying the role of the human face in mating choices, told the paper.
An upcoming dating website, Find Your FaceMate, even uses facial-recognition software to suggest romantic matches. Sounds kind of creepy to us, but we do see a lot of couples who kinda look alike. Is it just a coincidence? Or maybe we're all just in love with ourselves?

+11What's with Psychologists releasing Studies that almost never apply to a majority The people on Sodahead?
but I read somewhere that people are more attracted to people that look more like them...so idk..I don't really pay that much attention...
these are not conditions to like them... i like to speak to humans whose ideas are fruitful
People lie to themselves and everybody else
and i like guys with the same look style-wise but physical looks...noooo
So, Rebecca...while Omni and I may both find you attractive, I understand how you might not feel the same. Just know that not everyone sees you as you see yourself, and...let that give you a smile in the mirror once in a while.
Oh, and you're really ugly. All these guys are lying, either that, or blind. Stupid attention whore, go be a whore elsewhere.
