Positive sexual imprinting is a process by which individuals use the phenotype of their opposite-sex parent as a template for acquiring mates. Recent studies in humans have concluded that an imprinting-like mechanism influences human mate choice in facial traits. However, some of the previous studies have had methodological problems or flaws which might have invalidated or led to an overgeneralization of the original interpretation of their results. In this study, 70 heterosexual adults were used to test if their partners resembled facially their opposite-sex parent as the sexual imprinting hypothesis predicts.

Judges assessed the subjective facial similarity between each participant’s partner and their parent. We found that there was no perceived facial similarity between womenâ??s partners and their fathers. However, men tended to pair more often with women that were perceived as resembling the men’s own mothers. In contrast to previous studies, the quality of the relationship between participants and their parents did not predict the level of facial resemblance between the participantâ??s spouse and their parent.

It’s facial features though. Your white mom and your Latina wife could share facial similarities.

Both have wide faces or narrow faces or whathaveyou

Haha! My mum is white, my longterm girlfriend is Indian. So thankfully they don’t look much alike either.

Good case for interracial relationships, to minimize the chance they look like your mom.

You guys are all focused on race when the study talks about facial features.

If you set aside skin, hair and eye colour, how closely do your mates resemble your mothers?

True. From what I can tell by your description, your mom seems like a wonderful, warm, caring woman.

Yep. And she works out, eats healthy, taught aerobics as a side job in the 80’s.

I find myself more attracted to darker haired, curvier (but still firm) firm women with different facial shapes and what not. I really like latinas though I’m not picky.

This thread is a little weird making you think about shit like that though. Freudian thinking just can’t be taken seriously.

Sigmund Freud would be suing someone’s ass if he were alive.

What’s up HoustonGuy?

18

What if you’re attracted to most women? Does that mean my mother is so nondescript that she resembles nearly everyone?

I’ve heard (and my life experience and observation backs this up) that the female tends to be in control of the mate selection process. If this is true and the recent studies referenced above are true, it means that females are selecting their husbands based on the males mother’s facial features being similar to her own!
