This study tests the hypothesis that physiognomic similarity is a factor in the process of mate selection. Judges asked to match photographs of males and females who looked most alike actually paired engaged and newlywed couples to a significant degree. This study highlights the possible importance of similar physical appearance as a factor in the formation of interpersonal relationships
