I came across this thread on Reddit:

One of the top replies implies that attraction is fundamentally a process of admiring your own reflection, which is, of course, narcissistic in essence:
This seems to be a trend in modern soyciety, where modern couples are attracted to each other not out of a fascination for any differences which might complement their deficits, for example, but out of a drive to achieve incestuous similarity:
It must be due to the same social processes which have resulted in political polarization and the ghettoization of discourse. Our soyciety has all the worst and most destabilizing aspects of diversity, combined with all the worst and most stifling aspects of homogeneity tbh

Opposites don’t attract: couples more likely to be similar than different, study shows
Scientists find that most partners have shared traits including political views, education levels and drinking habits
www.theguardian.com
A study on romantic relationships found that for more than 80% of traits analysed – from political views to drug taking and the age at which people first had sex – partners were often remarkably similar.
According to the research, between 82% and 89% of traits examined were similar among partners, with only 3% ranking as substantially different.
Couples were likely to share a similar birth year, and show similarities in terms of less well-studied traits such as how many sexual partners they had had and whether they were breastfed as a baby.
