If we want to fall madly in love and feel butterflies in our tummy, it will only suffice to find someone like us, according to the <strong>science<\/strong>.  Is that the <strong>psychology<\/strong> tells us that we only truly fall in love with someone similar to our person.<\/p>\n<h2>Why do we fall in love with people who look like us?<\/h2>\n<p>According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, human beings are attracted to people who share our same tastes, that is, those who like the same books as we do, the same songs, the same plate of pasta or even share our political vision.  Therefore, we will find that perfect person, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ciencia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">science<\/a>in places where we ourselves frequent.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"relacionadas con-foto\"><strong class=\"relacionadas-titulo-gral\">Related news<\/strong><\/aside>\n<aside class=\"htmlinline\"\/>\n<p>In <strong>psychology<\/strong> There is a concept known as the similarity attraction effect, which is nothing more than the fact that, in general, we are attracted to people who are most similar to us.  This is not something new, but what has been discovered in the study is one of the reasons why the similarity attraction effect occurs.  Charles Chu, an adjunct professor at Boston University, is one of those responsible for the study.  The academic set out to analyze the conditions that make a person be chosen or, conversely, rejected.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image\"><figcaption>Couple in love.  Photo: Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It was there that the scholar realized that self-essentialist reasoning played a very important role in the process of choosing a partner.  According to this reasoning, people imagine ourselves with some kind of deep inner core or essence that determines who we are.  In this way, if a person runs into another who shares only one of her interests, he will think that this person will have the same vision of the world and that is where Cupid&#8217;s crush will take place, the spell of <strong>love<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"htmlinline\"\/>\n<p>However, not everything is rosy.  Is that the <strong>science <\/strong>determined that all this could have an undesired effect.  Being attracted to someone just because we share one or two interests could narrow the field of people we could connect with, even better, so we would be denying them <strong>love<\/strong> to other candidates that you may have more chemistry with our <strong>psychology<\/strong> and way of seeing the world.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"1152\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.terra.com.mx\/u\/fotografias\/m\/2023\/6\/1\/f768x1-78665_78792_174.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"768\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Love.
