Question

The idea that we develop relationships with people who are approximately as attractive as we are is called the ________ hypothesis

Answer 1

Matching hypothesis is the idea that you are more likely to make friends or be attracted to someone who is on a similar level of attractiveness as you. So, a extremely attractive person is going to be attracted to others that are extremely attractive. A average looking person will be more attracted emotionally and/or romantically with another average looking person.
