Love is a calculation or element?

Since ancient times, "connoisseurs" of man's love for a woman are looking for something incredible, extraordinary in a great phenomenon. This much is said and written! Now scientists have seriously taken up the solution of the mystery of love.


The Maths of Love

Mathematicians from the California science center Lloyd Shapley and Gale David developed an algorithm that makes it possible to accurately calculate the love attraction of a particular male iconcaster woman. The gentlemen assure that the long married life of a mathematically-assorted couple will be guaranteed. Moreover, we are not talking about a calculation based on the search for the compatibility of a pair of certain objective features, identified by psychologists. No, it's much easier. A list is made of the number of ladies and gentlemen. For the accuracy of mathematical calculations, enough for 100 representatives of each gender. Each person has a desire for certain specific and attractive qualities for a particular man and woman qualities. For example, a man says: "I want my partner to have blue eyes, her hair black, and she must be able to cook chicken cutlets." A woman, for example, expresses a desire: "To a man who was above average height, a gray-eyed and duly able to dance."

A man who writes under number 1 appears for consideration by a woman under number 1. At the same time, it does matter if it is suitable for the lady's requirements, because there is not much to choose from. The woman automatically accepts the offer, as a result of the couple announces a conditional engagement.

Immediately, mathematics "activates" a man under number 2. He likewise appears before the woman number 1. If he will be more in line with her vision of an ideal partner, the lady breaks off the conditional engagement with the man # 1 and accepts the offer of the applicant # 2. The first chevalier, who was rejected after all, with his No. 1 turns to looking for a couple from the list. It can be a woman number 2 or number 3, etc.

Meanwhile, the woman number 1 offers make other men according to the order (as well as all-weather women the rest of the popular and unclaimed men from the list). That is, now women have the opportunity to choose and compare. Ioni, obeying the simple logic of choice: "The better, the better", they break off the engagement to the tekhno, until they finally choose among the hundred most close associates of the partner's standard. The rest of the men and women do the same.

Certified mathematicians Shapley and Gail calculated that if the lists of potential partners are long enough, say: 100 and 100 or 1000 and 1000, in the end, each person from the list will pick up the second half. This is the scientific concept in the approach of happiness to the family already at the stage of choosing couples.

Of course, this is a simple explanation. In practice, the mechanism is called the Gale-Shapley algorithm (algorithmic consent) with clever formulas and is based on the theory of matching (the problem of marjage). By the way, Shapley became the winner of the "Nobel Prize" 2012 in economics. An unbiased scientific theory was immediately accused of calculating and technicism. Scold ignoring the sensual beginning and for all other sins. However, with mathematicians you can not argue - this is an exact science. We'll have patience. Once for love took a science, then the sensations necessarily wait!

Opinion of psychologists

But where does the psychologist go? This brotherhood considers human relations to be his own patrimony. The esteemed Italian expert Senor Guido Caldarelli began to object: the method is good, but works correctly only if a man and a woman choose each other according to their own preferences. In modern civilization with pressure on the psyche and the memory of a person from pop culture, the society becomes homogeneous. We all watch similar films, read the same magazines. And without knowing it ourselves, we assimilate those standards of external appearance, behavior, preferential values ​​that propagandize the media. Shaped stereotypes, attitudes that "get" so deep into the subconscious that it is not easy to get rid of them, and some categories of men and women do not need to refuse these stereotypes at all.

So it turns out that almost 90 percent of men prefer brunettes, (maybe even blondes, depending on the season) without even knowing that the image of an ideal partner is recorded in the subconscious mass culture. Drawing attention to this reality, Caldarelli introduced the concept of the optimal choice of spouses, invented by Californian mathematicians Gale and Shapley, introduced its error coefficient "Vogue Factor", which is referred to as the "factor of beauty". That is, if the "Vogue Factor" is peculiar to a lot of people in the group, it is much easier for them to find the second half. In other words, ladies will often stop picking on a stereotypical burning brunette (blond). The scientist cautions: "Remember that the standard of beauty is often imposed by pop art! Learn to be independent in choosing the preferences of the appearance of the opposite sex and more trust your own taste. The main thing, be active in your choice, do not follow stereotypes! ".
