Influence of homogamy, complementarity, and sexual imprinting on mate choice

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

There are two basic theories explaining possible principles on which people are attracted to each other and how individuals create sexual and romantic relationships. The theory of homogamy states that in their potential or actual partners individuals prefer characteristics that are similar to themselves ("birds of a feather flock together"). One of the mechanisms that can cause homogamy in partners might be sexual imprinting. According to this theory, individuals prefer in potential partners traits thatare similar to those of the opposite sex parent. In contrast, the theory of complementarity suggests that individuals are attracted to partners with traits that are opposite to their own ("opposites attract"). From an evolutionary perspective, homogamous preferences can be explained by the theory of kin selection and outbreeding depression avoidance, while pairing on the principle of complementarity is advantageous in terms of inbreeding avoidance. We will critically review these two th
