Two steps forward, two steps back - opposites attract, right? Not according to a new study, which suggests that we actually seek out partners similar to ourselves.
The study, conducted at the University of Groningen and published in the journal Evolutionary Psychology, revealed that couples were more compatible when they had a similar mix of personality traits.
"Although many individuals occasionally feel attracted to
'opposites'...they often do not develop into serious intimate
relationships, and when they do, these relationships often end
prematurely," says researcher Professor Pieternel Dijkstra.
