Document Summary
In terms of predicting who you may be getting together with, proximity is the basis of getting together. You are much more likely to get together with someone from your class than someone who lives somewhere else. When we find someone with similarity, we have a common ground for proceeding in conversation. The more fluid conversation is, the more pleasant it will be for you. What certain communications mean are up for debate. Evolutionary people say that there must be attractors constant across the species in order to survive. These indicators should be reflective of your reproductive potential. Anything indicative of health and youth will be attractive to the male. The shape of the body is also a good indicator. Healthy looks are important for females as well. We are engineered to think this way because we don"t want to mate with someone who will not be an effective partner following the birth of the child.
