What attracts us?

The best way to find out why one person goes for another is to ask them, but not in a casual manner like asking your partner why they went for you, it has to be scientific.

This is why biological anthropologist Helen Fisher has been studying a survey of more than forty thousand people, which was run on an online dating site.

Her conclusions are that there really is some sort of chemistry between couples and it this that actually attracts them to each other in the first place.

So as this is the key to finding that Mr. or Mrs. right then maybe one day there will be a simple solution to finding that special person without all of the hard work, until then it’s back to the old fashioned way of going out and through online dating services.
