When it comes to love， there are no hard and fast rules though many people follow the age-old theory that opposites attract.
雖然許多人都遵循“相異相吸”這一老話，但情場(chǎng)上其實(shí)并沒(méi)有鐵的法則。
But now a study has found that more often that not， similarity rules the day.
如今一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，大多數(shù)時(shí)候，是相似的人之間互相吸引。
Researchers at Berkeley found that people are drawn to potential romantic partners if they are of their own or similar leagueand desirability， which they called the ‘matching hypothesis’。
伯克利大學(xué)的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果潛在戀愛(ài)對(duì)象的魅力指數(shù)和自己是同一水平的，那么他們更容易互相吸引，研究人員將這稱為“配對(duì)假說(shuō)”。
Of course personality traits and common interests play a factor but for that instant attraction， like is drawn towards like， putting paid to the phrase， ‘You’re out of my league‘。來(lái)源：考試大考試大成就你的夢(mèng)想
誠(chéng)然，個(gè)性特質(zhì)和共同的興趣也會(huì)有影響，但是就像一見(jiàn)鐘情的瞬間吸引力一樣，人們也可以立刻覺(jué)察到“咱倆不是一路人”。
For their research， the authors of the study turned - as most singletons do today - to online dating sites.
為了進(jìn)行這一研究，研究人員和現(xiàn)在的許多單身人士一樣，求助于在線約會(huì)網(wǎng)站。
They measured the popularity of more than 3，000 heterosexualusers of a site and looked at the popularity of each.
他們測(cè)評(píng)了一個(gè)約會(huì)網(wǎng)站3000多名異性戀用戶的魅力指數(shù)，然后再單獨(dú)觀察每個(gè)用戶的人氣。
Popularity was defined by the number of opposite-sex individuals who had sent unsolicitedmessages to a user.
研究人員根據(jù)向一名用戶主動(dòng)發(fā)送信息的異性人數(shù)來(lái)評(píng)估這名用戶的人氣。
Analyses indicated that high-popularity users contacted other popular users at a rate greater than would be expected by chance.
分析表明，人氣高的用戶聯(lián)系其他人氣用戶比預(yù)期聯(lián)系隨機(jī)用戶的幾率要高得多。
Similarly， the less popular users of the site also contacted other low-popularity users.
同樣地，人氣欠佳的用戶聯(lián)系的也是其他人氣較低的用戶。
The researchers then conducted a follow-up study of more than a million users and found a similar result - when it comes to dating， potential mates stick to someone in their own league.
研究人員隨后對(duì)100多萬(wàn)名用戶進(jìn)行了后續(xù)調(diào)查，發(fā)現(xiàn)了相似的結(jié)果：人們都會(huì)選擇和自己同一層次的人進(jìn)行約會(huì)。
The authors found that： ’Individuals on the dating market will assess their own self-worth and select partners whose social desirability approximately equals their own.
研究報(bào)告作者發(fā)現(xiàn)：“約會(huì)市場(chǎng)上的人會(huì)評(píng)估自身的價(jià)值，并選擇受歡迎程度和自己大致相當(dāng)?shù)娜俗鳛榘閭H。
‘Using data collected in the laboratory and from users of a popular online dating site， the authors found evidence for matching based on self-worth， physical attractiveness， and popularity， but to different degrees and not always at the same stage of the dating process.
