- Penton-Vook & Perrett 2000 - females prefer feminine faces, but not during follicular phase

- Dissimilarity: Complementary Needs Hypothesis - make up weaknesses - Winch 58
- Markey 2007 - high quality relationshps = dissimilar in dominance
- Changing methods: more naturalistic, longitudinal. Improved tech- 3D body images & eye track

- Proportion of similarity = no. topics similar divided by total no. topics discussed
- Physical Attractiveness: Childlike features (large eyes/lips), symmetrical, feminine faces, healthy hair
