Hello, unwelcome. Do the short stuff there's Jerry Chuck me. Jars short stuff is short gulf and were also to look alike here on our eleventh anniversary, we really are a kind of morphed into this weird, like gum, while this a more blob about that. We don't even like we ve actually physically merge together do yeah, so the old people look like old couples that is right right. There's a big one, yeah cause. Yes, there's, probably some old people you could find randomly in a crowd, be like you, this kind of look. Like this person, and we probably gilded rather old people anymore either. Right he's probably say seniors, yes elder elderly senior. Adults, I think, is what it is

good cause. I mean I'm right around the corner from being so, unlike analyzing old people who write exactly so, ok so senior dolls, anyway in older couple as for were going to say a couple: they lived together, married or in some sort of partnership, romantic or other. For a very long time. They do tend to start to look alike, the older they get and there's actual science to to back this up. This just some in a random hilarity it there. They ve actually done studies about this, because it's kind of a weird thing, if you think about it, we take it for granted the idea that two people who are not related, I should should come to like look like one another over the years. It's it's a little. Even though we know it seems like, of course, is what happens, but why chuck wise the big question? Well, first of all, I have a question for you. Have you noticed, as do you think this?

because I've never really notices yeah. I have actually there's thirteen some couples that, unlike think you guys, are brother and sister. Okay, and it's a little unsettling because they usually seem happy in their holding hands. But it's no. I have definitely seen it before No, I'm just trying to think in my life, like my grandparents, didn't look alike in. I don't know, I'm trying to piece together. I do like the science here because not much of the science really points to likeness, really looking like one another right, but let's talk about. Ok so- and I think also just a kind of clarify your point- it's not like it's an inevitability church, but it does happen in the fact that it does happen still raises the

question why you're so there was a study, called personality and individual differences or that I'm sorry that was the magazine it was published in the rag absolutely can find on this dance all over the country and they survey twenty two. They got twenty two I guess eleven men and eleven women who participated in the study. Yes and they said, look at these hundred sixty married couples but you know their separate. You dont know like whose in a couple and then tell us what you think go right now There was a resume who who looks alike whose married the who and what they found was that people tended to pick married couples out, even though they weren't shown pictures and since they have shown the men's pictures and they show the women's pictures and was basically like putting together and people tended to do that also, they also judge them based on attract

ness and they'd. The people also tended to be rated along. The same lines like a seven typically was put up with a seven of them that thing wrong. The fact that you could you could you easy as a random. Stranger could pick these couples. And in more often than chance, get it right. Put pairing who was married, who just based on looks, definitely suggests that there's something there and the something there that they they believe that is real behind it is mostly genetics. Yeah I mean there is non genetically speaking. I do think there is something to the fact they make appointments article that, like you know, if you're person, now these are similar, which is probably that you know you generally seek out someone. He think, would gibe personality

You may end up being a couple who just just laughed aloud and enjoys life, and that would affect the same facial muscles and things like that or if you look at any picture like pre nineteen sixty all you see is new to dour, looking Monseigneur standing next to each other right. So they may look a little bit more like, although I think we ve done something on people smiling and pictures or maybe to start about briefly, but that I could shorty an egg. Surely I don't recall at all it was the first girl who put on a big smile and a fellow and everyone's like. What did you just? Do you suppose frowned and pictures young man can I subscribe to your letter, but as far as genetics Go- and we talked about a lot of

here and there on the show about people seeking out for life partners and sexual and reproductive partners, people that are more similarly similar genetically as themselves right right, which makes sense there. The idea the whole premises that we would seek those people out, because our genes have kind of co evolved together, so they fit together. They work together more readily which, as you know, some people would say all key? We should stick with your own kind in the inn in not marry outside of your own group or whatever night. The opposite of that is when you get too much, homogeneity. The gene pool starts a really really suffer through its good to mix, but at the same time we seem to be geared to at least according to the school of thought, toward seeking out mates that we we might be able to genetically be more genetically compared

The question is this though Beyonce, something glaringly obvious is somebody saying, like you know, just sticking to their ethnic group or racial group or something like that to it to marry and have kids with. How else would you eat like if you're not doing that? How would you possibly pick out somebody based on genetics like how would you know how someone's compatible with you genetically this so there's we ve got the question of how to old oak I'm sorry, senior, dont, mumbles, start to look alike. Then, if its genetics, how do we find that out? You know like what are we doing? It seems like a good spot for break hooker and will come back and talk about.

So I promise talk of sexual imprinting about sixty seconds ago and there's this thing, and it is not just like something people say: there is a real thing where they ve done studies and found that women can see generally, but is. These indicate that women, if they, if they have fathers, that they were close to him, that they love that they will seek out adult relationships with men who are, like their fathers, and that includes looking like their fathers looking like their foes behave, like their fathers like if their fathers stern but com, and you know they ve public flattened made of their father- is like hey you, you do you, but do think he seems to be.

The father and the daughters bond in relationship is is very strong in the stronger. It is the more of this sexual imprinting there is, and so, rather than like the girl, you know secretly having the hot for her dad or something like that. Was that no but buddy it's what that get confused for is it actually, the Father has provided a model saying hey, I'm radically related to you. You turned out pretty good. We have a pretty good relationship. Find a guy who's kind of like me, and you can't miss the genetic crapshoot yeah not even genetically because the same has held true through adoptive fathers and daughters. They found in studies as well will know. I think they were saying adopted, daughters, imprint on their genetic father. Oh no, I thought it said. I thought I read it as they still I gotcha I gotcha,

yeah you're right. There would be the case, but then they cannot undermine the genetic basis of it. Doesn't it a little bit, but that's the nature nurture thing in a year. While this whole thing is one big question of like nature nurture Yeah, I don't know I don't I don't think I that's it. That's an interesting can of worms there that we're not gonna completely given so there's some other things that we consider that one in for women, in particular the sexual imprinting on fathers, one way that they are guided toward mate selection Yeah, there's also personalities another once there there's a genetic basis for that behaviors traits, there's all sorts of stuff that you can pick up in somebody's face in their body, shape their body style. That suggest not necessarily that their genes are going to mix well with your particular genes, but that they are genetically sound

I guess in one way, and one of the big ones is symmetry both body symmetry and facial. Symmetry is a classic standard for fur is universal beauty, symmetry tends to be equated with beauty and attractiveness year. We talked about this quite a bit in the past year, they ve done studies and test subjects. The kind of roundly rate some trickle men and women as not only might just better more attractive to them, but potentially healthier, and they say that's the whole. You know evolutionary So a lot of this is whether we know it or not, we're were technically probably seeking out people that we think are healthy and have good genes and women are women who can carry their child and they even have it's such a gross term. But I'm supposedly another done studies where men prefer women with a waste to hip ratio, appoint seven which sounds dislike.

This sends a something some creep would carry around like a notebook hampered like some calipers or something like tat and be like you're, really, nice and funny, and all but you're wasting abrasions, not quite right for me. Well, it goes both ways to there's a preferred waste to hip ratio ratio among men for women or women here that women have for men is supposedly the sounds really bizarre, but that has a lot to do with fat deposits, where a fat gets deposited around your hips depending on your sex and sex is driven by hormones and especially fat deposition and where it goes, is driven by hormone. So if you have your fat, coming up in all the right places according to your sex, you're you're, basically broadcasting that you are quite fertile in feed, ginger and ready to raise ten kids and start a farm was do that's why you're hips are shouting. What would you do? What you want is to seek someone out there you can raise,

a lot of and raise future little employs. Basically, he had taken. You don't have to nailed exactly To the symmetry thing they have found also- studies that the more symmetrical you are you're, also going to have more sex and some more sexual partners in your life, especially if you're a man or particularly, if you're, a man, yeah yeah. It does seem to come down the answer to this question. Why senior adult couples can sometimes start to look like one another is that they are probably genetically similar to begin with yeah, and then they go through life experiences together that shrink them together. So you put all that

there you got in all their senior adult couple who looks like brother and sister and they still kiss in front of people, get you put that altogether, throw them both and lavender track suits, which always helps there is that thing too were couples inadvertently Agus start to dress or our may be very purposely start addressing? sure. I got no problems with that baby and then dog look alike. We should finish with because Everyone loves those great listed goals of photos of people that look like their dogs, and that is a thing that can happen. They did a study in two thousand, for I don't know how this got funded, but it is apparently indicated that people who shot for pure bred dogs tend to look for dogs that look like them yeah. I want my want to see my face. Looking back at me and my dogs face I've seen it, but they say that is pure breads. Only people who, like rescue

You know much from shelters. Are there like? Whatever I just like how you your personality? I guess it's right, so there you go there you have it. I guess that means Chuck been short. Stuff is away.
