New evidence that humans choose their partners through assortative mating

I remember about 10-15 years ago there was a British Indian women on TV who was a match-maker. She was highly criticised for insisting that the people she matched were from a similar social-economic background. She basically explained it with similar ideas as are found in this article and I can remember at the time thinking it was common sense and that her critics were wrong.

Whenever I read stuff like this I find it hard to believe that means I'm as hot and smart as my fiancé :p

There is something very comforting about marrying a man very similar to yourself. My husband and I are from the same background, are the same age, grew up a mile apart, went to the same college with the same major, we are both tall, and of similar attractiveness. We have the same memories of childhood although we didn't know each other as children. We have the same values and the same outlook on life.

I'm certain that opposites can attract, but it is nice to fit together so well as very like individuals.

This is so cool! It really confirms a lot of conventional wisdom (e.g. the idea of someone being in or out of your "league") and it is totally in line with what we discuss on RPW all the time. Compatibility is just more likely when the people themselves are similar.
