Now while I realise that I could run any number of fairly bad puns about the chemistry of love, or physical relationships, this is a serious Masters research project from that institute of education, University of Oxford, which isn't surprising in all fairness.
It's based on a system for modeling atoms in radioactive decay. (isn't that reasuring...???)
However, it does suggest that while "super daters" have a good effect on other's lives (by breaking up "weak" relationships and forcing them to find someone better) they are less effective in finding the right partner than those who wait and let others come to them.
(Now for the science bit......)
"If you have a complex network and you stay in one site you see more traffic coming through," Mr Ecob said. "It's a denser network, so there are more possible matches."
What's more, having an increased set of preferences makes no difference on a single's chance of having a relationship, as long are you're willing to accept people who meet only a fraction of your criteria. All about compromise, eh??? The Physics of Love
How many people drive small cars?? Smart cars and minis and the like?? If you do, you may want to avoid Knowsley Safari Park as the lions seem to mistake the smaller cars for potential prey. They have even had a couple of ladies, in their car, who were chased by the lionesses. Confused lions 'hunt' small cars
