Why Sally liked Harry

The real reason why friends become lovers.

Scientists claim they may have got to the bottom of exactly why Harry and Sally ended up together. Researchers believe there may be a scientific basis for our tendency to fall in love with our friends. We value personality far more highly than has been previously thought, a new study claims. So even if a persons physical presence does not make an instant impression, once we find out about their other attributes they start to appear more attractive.

Previous studies about attraction have centered on finding the perfect figure or facial features, but experts now believe they have been missing the point. Professor David Wilson of New York's Binghampton University, who led the study, said: "People see physical attractiveness differently when they know that person's other qualities, usually invisible to strangers." He says we look for more than just physical attraction in a partner. "The value of potential social partners depends at least as much on non-physical traits - such as whether they are co-operative, dependable, brave, hardworking, intelligent and so on - as physical factors, such as smooth skin and symmetrical features."

Professor Wilson said: "Friends are our friends for a reason. We know we like them, and they are our cup of tea. There are none of the ice-breaking problems associated with meeting strangers. A lot of married women tend to have affairs with their husband's friends, which can be attributed to the same phenomenon. They already know they have a lot in common, and even go to the same places, so it is an obvious step to start a relationship. However, there is a distinction between sex and relationships - it tends to be the case that friends will fall into the relationship category rather than just sex."

Professor Wilson concludes that the key to finding love is simple. "If you want to enhance your physical attractiveness, become a valuable social partner."
