#SocialScience is constantly studying human #relationships, and this week I was reading up on the latest science and realized, science has figured out our type! I don't want to ruin the surprise, but you already know most of the characteristics of the person you should keep an eye out for… Yep. I WANT TO TELL YOU BUT I WON'T.  Watch the video and let me know what you think!

Spoiler alert: don't read on if you haven't watch the whole video. Same-sex relationships have different considerations, which is why it's harder to specifically study them. For example, if you want to date someone who is EXTREMELY similar to yourself, in a hetero relationship, there will always be lifestyle differences on many levels. In a gay relationship? Not necessarily. Read more in these links:
For example: Gender roles are the same (and yet different) in homosexual relationships.

On top of that, you can date someone who is a boyfriend-twin, or girlfriend-twin! Someone who looks and acts just like you, almost as close as possible to dating yourself. It's really interesting, and can even be dangerous in some relationships. Check it out:

Quick note: My goal in every video is to make you feel something, think something, or talk to a friend about what you learned. If any of those apply to you, please consider subscribing to the channel, or sharing the video with your friends on social media! A few seconds of effort on your end really goes a long way, and thanks for even reading this paragraph, it means a lot. 
Love you, #nerdfam! Stay #curious!
