Aired (August 10, 2023): Ayon sa pag-aaral ng University of Colorado, n-aa-attract tayo sa mga tao na katulad natin ng DNA o facial figures dahil subconsciously ay gusto natin mapanitili ang sarili nating mga genes. Base naman sa pag-aaral ni Robert Zajonc, isang psychologist, ang shared experiences ng mga couples ay nakakaapekto sa pagbabago ng kanilang facial features. Panoorin ang video.

00:00 I don't know if you can relate, but have you noticed that sometimes,
00:03 lovers or spouses, we're both the same, right?
00:06 They look alike.
00:07 That's true, brother.
00:08 You're like siblings, Emily.
00:11 It's not just a coincidence, because it's backed by science.
00:15 But the question is,
00:16 did your look become the look that you'll have in the future?
00:21 That's the story of Marisol Abdurman.
00:29 If a relationship is long-lasting,
00:31 it's possible that the couple will look alike.
00:34 Their shared experiences are affected by the change in facial features.
00:40 To prove this,
00:42 some people took part in the Facial Likeness Challenge online.
00:46 Especially if they look alike,
00:48 they say that they've found their soulmate.
00:51 How true is this?
00:58 Leonard and Joel's relationship was introduced in a dating app in 2019.
01:04 They were both heartbroken back then.
01:06 We matched on Bumble in 2019,
01:09 the first time.
01:10 But she didn't notice me after chatting with me once.
01:14 After the pandemic, everything was online.
01:17 I went on Bumble again, because I was a new single.
01:19 Then we matched again.
01:21 After a week of talking, we went out for the first time.
01:24 We had an errand date.
01:25 No pressure, we just went to the grocery store.
01:27 I accompanied her.
01:28 And we've been together for almost 3 years now.
01:33 Leonard works as a human resource officer at BPO Company.
01:38 Joel is a content creator.
01:40 Even though they're different,
01:43 they're like match made in heaven.
01:46 How do you know if you love someone?
01:49 I googled it, I'm not sure if I love you.
01:53 But I feel like I do.
01:54 I'm that drunk.
01:56 I'm planning when I'll ask you.
01:59 You asked me first for 2 weeks.
02:01 Until some people noticed that they're becoming like each other.
02:06 We saw it in pictures,
02:08 I was like, "Oh my God, I see it now, I get it."
02:10 My siblings told me, "You two are really like each other."
02:14 Sometimes, my friends mistook me for my sibling.
02:20 They also added that their mothers have a relationship.
02:25 Their attitude is actually the same.
02:27 When I met their parents,
02:29 I was like, "They're like my parents too."
02:32 They just look different.
02:34 Discovering new foods,
02:36 playing video games,
02:38 and traveling are some of the things they do together.
02:42 They also have expressions that they get from each other,
02:46 like...
02:47 I just express it when I'm doing something heavy.
02:52 Karl and May's relationship didn't end up in the facial likeness challenge.
02:57 They have a production house where Karl is the photographer and manager,
03:02 and May is the videographer and editor.
03:05 So it's not surprising that these two can't be separated.
03:09 I hope all of them can.
03:10 When I posted our photos,
03:14 some people asked me if we're siblings or dating.
03:20 I made fun of them, confused them.
03:24 They noticed that we're a bit similar.
03:27 Our favorite thing to do is to take pictures and photoshoots.
03:30 Because she also wants to be a model.
03:33 I'm a photographer and videographer, so I shoot her.
03:36 According to Shilathan, a neurosemantics trainer,
03:39 there are also reasons why we like a person.
03:43 People who have similar features get attracted to each other.
03:48 Psychologically, we have what we call a homing instinct.
03:51 This means that we have a natural tendency to recreate our home.
03:59 So what we've explored, what's familiar to us.
04:03 Another possibility is that opposites attract.
04:07 At the start, they don't look alike,
04:09 but because they have similar experiences, similar emotions,
04:14 and their perspectives on life are similar,
04:18 it can have the same effect on their physical looks and bodies.
04:23 Is it true that if you look alike, you already found your soulmate?
04:27 Scientifically, we don't believe in soulmates.
04:31 While at the start, we want to find a partner of similar values,
04:37 similar beliefs, so that we can understand each other better,
04:41 it still takes a lot of communication and a lot of effort as we go along the relationship.
04:48 Do you believe that you are already the one for each other?
04:51 What I always say is, "If you know, you know."
04:55 I agree with that.
04:56 There's no fear, you get it, it's safe, you feel it.
05:00 I researched what soulmates are.
05:06 People say that we look alike, so we're soulmates.
05:10 I believe that he's already my soulmate.
05:12 I'm willing to face all the challenges in our lives
05:19 to be together.
05:22 It's said that love is happy, but a strong relationship is not always easy.
05:28 So, you should value and help each other to make it strong.
05:34 Especially, there's no equal happiness when you find the one who's meant for you.
05:41 I'm Marisol Abdurrahman, and that's the story you need to know.
