How to find a partner
So, you want to find a partner. Well, sincerity is the best policy – be yourself. And if you meet someone who resembles you, physically or mentally, then all the better. “Simply put, opposites don’t attract, but similar types do,” says Dr. Robin Russell of London University, who has spent a decade studying patterns of attraction. On average, the more similar you are to your partner in every way, from personality and attitudes to appearance and obscure physiological factors like elbow shape, the more you’re likely to get on.
There are any number of theories why. Early life might programme you to seek partners who resemble your parents – and by extention resemble you. Or possibly you make a random choice, but within your social environment there’s more than reasonable chance you will choose people who resemble you than not.
Exercise 4. Guess the meaning of the highlighted words.
GRAMMAR COMMENT
Comparatives the…the, like as
| the…the… + comparatives The more illegible your signature is, the less assertive you are as a person. Use the + comparative adjective or adverb to show that one thing depends on another, e.g. The sooner you do it, the easier it'll be — how easy it with be depends on when you do it. The colder it is, the more clothes you need to wear. | When we want to talk about two things that are similar or the same we can use like and as. Like Like is used as a preposition and should be followed by a noun: 1."It's hot in this room. It's like an oven!" – (Both an oven and this room are hot) 2. "She works in a hotel, like me." - We both work in a hotel. As As is used to compare something that is the same as something else, or in the same condition. Use a subject and a verb after as. 1. "As I told you, the meeting started at 3pm." 2."It rained all weekend as we thought it would." |
