Question

According to the matching hypothesis, if you rated yourself as a "5" on a 1 to 10 scale, who would you most likely ask out?

Answer 1

Answer: 5

According to the matching hypothesis, people become attracted to people equally socially desirable( usually physical) and are more likely to succeed in a committed relationship. Other couples that have a successful relationship but have differing physical attractiveness, may be together due to other variables that compensate their difference in attractiveness.
