THE MATHEMATICS OF FINDING TRUE LOVE

找到真爱的数学方法

与魅力不及你的人交友

Have friends who are less attractive than you: Known as Discreet Choice Theory, the idea is that if there are two women - A and B - who men rank as being equally attractive, if a third woman comes along who looks like a less attractive version of woman A, then woman A becomes more popular with the men.

与魅力不及你的人交友：以谨慎选择定理而闻名，这个主意表明如果同时有俩个女人-A和B，在男人的眼中她们的魅力相同，如果此时出现第三个女人，而她相当于是A的翻版但魅力却不及A，那么A女在男人的眼中就会变得更有魅力，更受欢迎。

亮出你的缺点

Highlight your flaws: Analysis from dating websites has shown that often it is not those who are rated the 'most attractive' who get the most responses from other users.

亮出你的缺点：据社交网站分析，通常最有魅力的人往往得到来自其它用户的反应并不是最多的。

Instead it appears to be those that divide opinion - so those that have something that sets them apart from the rest of the crowds.

相反，那些与大众视野不同的人反而更受关注-因为他们与众不同。

Men with bald heads, for example, should not wear a hat to cover their pate as their lack of hair will be attractive to some. Those who are overweight should also not use clever photo cropping to hide what they perceive as flaws.

例如，秃顶的男人不应该带帽子来遮住他们的头，因为头发少也许在某些人眼中是很有魅力的。对于那些有一点超重的人也不该用图片美化编辑器来裁剪自己认为是缺点的地方。

This means people who find these traits attractive will face less competition than messaging those who have 'perfect' profile pictures.

这意味着觉得这些特质很有魅力的人可以少花费时间在那些简历照片完美的人身上。

This formula produced by psychologist John Gottmann and mathematician James Murray predicts how positive or negative a wife and husband will be when they respond in the next turn of a conversation. The most successful couples are those that allow each other to complain and don't let trivial problems build up.

这个公式是由心理学家John Gottmann和数学家James Murray共同完成的，预示了妻子和丈夫在下一段对话中会有多么正面或消极。最成功的夫妇是允许对方抱怨并不会让生活琐事升级成严重问题的人。

选择面相健康的伴侣

Choose 'healthy' looking partners: Dr Fry also explained that looking for those who tend to be heathlier are also likely to be more attractive.

选择面相健康的伴侣：Fry博士同时解释道选择那些更健康的人，因为他们可能更有魅力。

约会期度过37%后再安定下来

Don't settle down until 37% of your 'dating period' has past: The Optimal Stopping Period theory dictates that people should only start looking for the partner they want to settle down with after 37 per cent of their 'dating period' has past.

约会期度过37%后再安定下来：这个最佳安定时期理论告诉人们，如果要开始寻找一个安定下来的伴侣，就选择当你约会时期的37%为时间截点。

If, for example, they are looking to get married by the age of 35 years old, and start dating from the age of 15, they should discount all partners they have before the age of 22.4 years old.

举个例子，假如人们打算35岁结婚，而15岁就开始约会了，那么人们应该将22.4岁前所有的情侣都按比例打折。
