Guys: have you got a hot mom? Chances are your wife will be a looker, too. The same goes for daughters of hunky fathers.
Women tend to date guys that look like their fathers, and sons go for gals that look like their mothers, according to a new study of facial similarities between romantic partners and their parents. The paper is published this week in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B (DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2008.1021).
