If you could build your ideal mate, he or she would probably look, act, and
think very much like you. By being attracted to people
yourself, you validate yourself. You tell yourself that you’re worthy of being
liked. there are exceptions, the factor probably
means that you will be attracted to your own mirror image. You will be
attracted to people who are to you in nationality, race, ability,
physical traits, intelligence, attitudes, and so on. If you were to ask a group
of friends, “To whom are you attracted?” they would probably
name the attractive people they know. if you were to
watch these friends, you would find that they have relationships with
people who are equal about in attractiveness.
