The Truth about Beauty Ideals and Partner Selection – The 5x Similarity Rule
The YourLoveCode team has uncovered the truth about partner selection: couples come together based on the 5x Similarity Rule, not on the beauty ideals promoted by the media. Through thousands of tests on Synchrony-Energy (SE), we discovered that partners are chosen based on physical similarity, particularly in their faces. Genetic similarity also plays a role in partner selection.
Changing Beauty Ideals: Beauty ideals are culturally and temporally determined. From the full-bodied figures of the Baroque period to the thin figures of the 1960s, like Twiggy. Today, social media especially shapes beauty standards and has a huge impact on people’s self-image. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok spread ideals that only a small portion of the population fits into. This leads to negative psychological effects on many people, especially children and adolescents, including low self-esteem, depression, and in extreme cases, even suicidal thoughts.
Why Do Beauty Ideals Influence Us So Strongly? Beauty ideals often have a destructive impact on our self-image. Only about 2-5% of people meet the strict media beauty standards. Comparing oneself to unattainable ideals leads many to feel insecure and not good enough, whether in dating, the job market, or everyday life.
Studies and Findings:
Conclusion: The media often define beauty ideals based on economic interests, but actual partner selection is based on other mechanisms, such as physical and energetic similarity. It is important to understand these truths and free ourselves from unrealistic beauty ideals. Media literacy should be promoted to minimize the destructive influences on self-image.
The YourLoveCode team has managed to uncover the truth about real partner formation, which clearly follows different rules than previously known. We have conducted thousands of comparison tests on couples regarding their Synchrony-Energy (SE) and found that we choose partners based on the 5x Similarity Rule.
Why understanding the true mechanisms of partner formation today, which are 100% different from what is depicted in the media, is of great importance to our Western society, we explain in our exposition.
What is considered beautiful depends on the zeitgeist of each culture. Even within a culture, beauty ideals differ. Blonde hair was considered beautiful in ancient Rome, while in the Baroque period, bodies became fuller. A large buttocks became the beauty ideal, but this trend didn’t last long. In the 1920s, women appeared androgynous, with bobbed hair and flat breasts.
From the 1950s, the media began shaping beauty ideals, postulating faces like those of Elvis Presley, James Dean, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, or Romy Schneider as beautiful. Ten years later, hips became particularly narrow, and the super-thin model Twiggy took over the fashion world. Men at the time wore long hair.
Back then, the direct influence of media-propagated beauty ideals was relatively low compared to the rapidly increasing negative impact on society today. (For instance, Facebook-2020 had over 2.7 billion monthly active users, Instagram-2018 had 1 billion, Twitter-2020 had 330 million, TikTok-2021 had 1 billion, and YouTube had over 2 billion. Advertising revenue in 2019 amounted to over 15 billion USD).
These numbers highlight the rapid development of digital platforms and their profound impact on the global flow of information in all areas of life, including the definition of beauty ideals. This contributes the most to the negative consequences for the mental health of many people, including children.
Why Is This So?
“The beauty ideals propagated by films, fashion, television, and social media tend to be very specific and often unattainable. Only a relatively small proportion of people in the Western world match these ideals:
The actual problem is not in the beauty standards defined by the media, but in how we deal with these images, messages, and the knowledge conveyed. Apart from the fact that the media primarily define beauty ideals out of economic interests and often act out of a lack of knowledge, we humans mostly adopt these concepts. It must not be forgotten that almost 95% of us do not meet the beauty ideal (face):
Thus, the media play a crucial negative, even destructive role in the psyche of individuals by propagating beauty ideals.
“A typical Western European or American generally has knowledge about partner formation that comes from a combination of cultural norms, media consumption, social expectations, and personal experiences. This knowledge often consciously or unconsciously influences decisions and behaviors regarding partnerships and relationships.”
“Overall, knowledge about partner formation is shaped by a complex mix of cultural, social, biological, and personal factors, which can unconsciously influence behavior and decisions in relationships.”
Why Do We So Often Believe These Statements, Which Are Primarily Propagated Out of Economic Interests and Often from a Lack of Knowledge?
We would like to give some examples related to widely held assumptions and thus describe the general state of knowledge:
From our perspective, this thesis is questionable. The number of studies conducted seems relatively small. We would rather call innateness speculative, as the beauty ideal could be transferred from the mother to the child during pregnancy.
How powerful can this knowledge be on us if even a baby knows what is beautiful and not beautiful?
This is another reason why it is important to promote media literacy.
Again, it is important to promote media literacy.
By propagating beauty ideals, the media play a destructive role in the mental and overall health of individuals. Therefore, it is important to strengthen media literacy.
The YourLoveCode team has succeeded in revealing the truth about the actual formation of couples, which clearly follows different rules than those previously known. We have conducted thousands of comparison tests of couples in relation to their Synchrony-Energy (SE) and found that we choose our partners according to the 5x Similarity Rule:
Through our clear mathematical-statistical concept, which calculates an energy balance between two people – based on facial comparison among other things – we have found the following:
From the quote by Wisława Szymborska, the Nobel laureate in literature: “Here we are, naked lovers, both beautiful in their eyes – both delighted,” one can also discern a need for explanation in the statement “beautiful in their eyes”!
95% of the human population must justify themselves internally at least in connection with the beauty ideals represented by about 5% of the people when they do not perceive themselves as beautiful and are with a similarly “non-beautiful” partner.
In the media, the question often arises: “How would you rate your attractiveness on a scale from 1 to 10?” A large portion of the 95% of the Western population would already have difficulty answering this question.
One can assume that, in reality, within the framework of beauty models – without any devaluation and purely based on mathematical-statistical numbers: 1 fits with 1, 2 with 2, 5 with 5, and so on, 10 with 10, provided that the similarity of the couple is truly at the high necessary level, as described in the studies by:
Albert Einstein once said: “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
It is therefore time for all media to promote media literacy.
