What do you think?
I believe that this may only be true, when we had a good relationship with our mother/father.
ReplyDeleteWhen seeing someone who resembles our mother/father, we may subconsciously make a connection between them and our parent and thus with feelings such as love and admiration.
This may be the reason for why we feel drawn towards people who resemble our parents.
I think the study shown on the article is very true because as parents have the familliar faces which children see right from the birth, their facial structures are engraved in the childrens' memories. Humans tend to like the things which are familliar to them because they have experienced those things in the past and are more comfortable to them. So, because the facial structures of parents are so familliar to their children, children are bound to like people who look similiar to their parents.
