It is believed that over time, people who are in long-term relationships become similar to each other.
The idea of similarity lovers appeared in 1987 during a small psychological experiment.
He revealed that couples who had lived together for 25 years or more began to look similar. Scientists explained this phenomenon by the fact that lovers are in the same conditions, engage in similar activities, eat the same food and imitate the expression of emotions.
Despite the logic of this assumption, scientists at Stanford University found inconsistencies in the theory. They collected photos of 517 couples and compared their faces in photos after the wedding and 20-40 years later.
Thanks to a larger sample and new research methods, they found that there is no evidence of changes in the appearance of lovers after several decades of marriage. This is just a myth!But some people really choose as partners those who are visually similar to them, have similar facial features.
