religious beliefs, age, and education. We are often attracted to like-minded persons and those who have similar beliefs and values as ours.

We like people who like us back. According to research, reciprocity is a stronger basis for
liking another person than similarity. The more we are liked by someone we equally like, the more we behave in ways that promote mutual feelings of liking. When we express our liking for another, oftentimes, this would elicit a pleasant behavior and mutual liking from the other person.
