You know how some older married couples (sorry, senior adult married couples) start to look alike over time? That’s a really weird phenomenon if you think about it. So science has looked into it and they think they kind of have it figured out.

AI Summary

This episode dives into the curious phenomenon of why long-term couples start to look alike as they age, exploring the surprising science behind it. Josh and Chuck investigate whether it's genetics, shared life experiences, sexual imprinting, or a combination of factors that causes senior adults to increasingly resemble each other and even their partners. They also explore related topics like how we unconsciously choose mates based on symmetry and other physical traits, and wrap things up with the quirky finding that dog owners tend to pick pups that look like them.
