Maybe opposites don’t attract — but “doppelbangers” do.
A play on doppelgänger — the German word for a nearly identical look-alike, the term “doppelbanger” is used to describe couples who look similar and now, there’s a scientific explanation for their attraction.a new study published in Evolution and Human Behavior foundResearchers from the University of Queensland Australia recruited 682 heterosexual participants and recorded a total of 2,285 speed-dating interactions in the lab.
The study concluded that people with similar facial features rated each other as more attractive. Participants of the same ethnicity were also more likely to consider each other more attractive than those of a different ethnicity. However, it appears that the once-believed theory that married couples begin to look alike after years together — which came from the University of Michigan in 1987 — was debunked in 2020 with“Alternatively, facial similarity in couples could be the result of a preference for facial similarity in a romantic partner,” the researchers wrote.
