It’s like...looking in...a mirror? By TAYLOR ANDREWS
ating someone
who looks
weirdly, sort of,
exactly like you
is a real—as in
scientifically proven—thing.
Experts call it positive
assortative mating, which
is an evolutionary drive to
strengthen your own gene
pool. You know who does
t his a l o t? Fa m o us p e o p l e.
Just look at the matches we
found via facial-recognition
programming from tech
company Luxand. (Yes this
is how we spend our time,
what of it?)6 celebrities we’ve just
realized are basically in
love with themselves
They have similarly
shaped eyes and arched
brows, says facial
perception researcher
Allison Sekuler, PhD.
For some, she says,
that spells compatibility:
“These regions
really drive our view
of identity.” No wonder

she found “the perfect
guy” in Dylan....Barbara PalvinDylan SprouseZoe SaldanaMarco PeregoLauren MorelliSamira Wiley22

actress secretly married
the Italian artist
in 2013 and has said that
“from the moment I met
my husband...we knew.”
Maybe their comparable
features tipped them off.
Both their eyes and
mouths have similar
curves. And it helps that
they’re both champs
in the smizing dept.”She made me see
myself in a way that I just
haven’t before,” producer
Lauren once said about
her wife, Samira. Did
she mean *literally* see
herself? The space
between their eyes is
almost identical, and those
smiles! “People trust
others who look
like them,” says Sekuler.
Blessed be the fruit!4

These surprising
qualities are
what can actually
equal long-term
compatibility, says

Upbringing
Not like, “OMG, we
grew up next to
each other!” But more,
oh, you’re family
was super tight too.2
Schedules
If they’re traveling all
the time for work,
is that gonna fly with
you? (Be honest....)3
Splurge habits
Vacations: fair.
New virtual reality
games: questionable.

Attachment styles
If they need constant
reassurance that
you two are solid,
while you don’t,
maybe they’re better
off with a puppy.
