Why are there husband and wife faces?

But how can two people who are not related by blood be so alike? This is definitely not because of the disgusting nonsense that "the heart is born from the heart and there is another person in the heart"; Besides, if so, it should not be "more and more alike", but "face off"-two people's looks are upside down, right? It turns out that it is very similar. In addition to the possibility that couples or couples will become more and more like this, there is also a possibility that people tend to choose people who look like themselves as partners, so there will be a "couple face." That sounds reasonable. Studies have shown that when choosing a partner, we will choose people with similar genetic makeup to ourselves. For example, in 2005, a study published in Psychological Science by Philippe Rushton and Trudy Ann Bons of the University of Western Ontario in Canada found that the spouses of identical twins look more similar than those of fraternal twins. This implies that the more similar people's genetic makeup is, the closer they are to the appearance of choosing a partner. We are also more attracted to faces similar to ourselves. Professor Penton-Voak from the School of Psychology of the University of St Andrews once asked heterosexuals to judge the attractiveness of faces in photos. Among them, some photos of the subjects themselves were changed into photos of the opposite sex by computer, and these photos were also rated as "the most attractive" by the subjects, indicating that people would be attracted to objects similar to themselves. "Imprint" can also explain why people are attracted to "objects that look like themselves". Some studies have pointed out that human facial conditions when choosing a partner are influenced by imprinting, and they will choose objects similar to their parents (Rantala, 20 12). From the perspective of evolutionary psychology, imprinting can avoid invalid mating between organisms and "heterogeneous" individuals in the process of mate selection. In other words, maybe we didn't choose the object that looks like ourselves because we inherited the looks of our parents, and the "imprint" made us choose the object that looks like our parents. More and more alike, but is it possible that the longer lovers get along, the more alike they are? Bob Zajonc, a famous social psychologist, recruited college students as subjects and showed them two photos. This photo combination may be a newly married couple, a couple who have been married for more than 25 years, or just a random pair with similar spirit and age, but not related to each other, so that subjects can judge how similar the two photos are and whether the "couple" is married. Results Couples who have been married for a long time are more likely to be judged as "similar" by the subjects, and it is difficult for the subjects to judge whether the newlyweds or randomly matched couples are married from the photos, which may be due to the different similarity of faces. In addition, the couple who were rated as "the most alike" were also the happiest couples in their married life in the report! Why is this happening? We don't know the exact reason. However, it is probably because couples who have been together for a long time have experienced the same emotions for a long time; This also means that their expressions are often similar. Perhaps this is the key reason for the "couple's face", because expressions are expressed by many different facial muscles, and similar expressions affect similar facial muscles. Over time, faces become more and more similar. Apart from emotion, the living environment and diet of lovers who have been together for a long time are similar, which may also be a possible reason. From this point of view, noisy "bitter couples" should have "husband and wife faces" if they don't break up. Judge a book by its cover and find true love? Since people like us are more attractive, will there be a dating website that uses face analysis as a matching condition in addition to constellation, blood type, birthday, interest, education, work and habits? Yes, for example, FaceMate.com, which was launched on March 201/kloc-0, is a dating website that provides similar face matching. But the old problem-dating sites can only be paired according to the information you provide; If the picture you uploaded is Doraemon, the matching result may be kitty (not Snoopy, because it is different).
