Emphasize Similarities

強調共性

Naturally, we tend to bond with people who are like us. However, we seem to be unaware of this fact. A study in Evolutionary Psychology found when individuals were asked what they wanted in a partner, the majority said they would prefer a complementary partner rather than a similar one. However, the individuals were more likely to choose a partner who they thought was very similar to them.

我們天生傾向于和同類建立聯系。然而，我們似乎沒有意識到這點。《進化心理學》上的一篇研究發現，當被問到想要什么樣的伴侶時，大多數人表示，他們更喜歡和自己互補的伴侶，而不是和自己相似的。然而，人們更可能選擇自己眼中的同類作為伴侶。

In reality, this shows we're not influenced by our friends after we meet them, we organically gravitate towards them because they're just like us. With total strangers, we can use this to our advantage, and shift the conversation to topics you're both interested in. This gets them to talk about things they like, as you're being receptive about this similarity.

事實上，這說明我們和朋友見面后不會受到他們的影響。我們自然而然地被他們吸引，是因為他們和我們很像。和完全陌生的人接觸時，也可以利用這點，把談話引到你們都感興趣的話題上。這樣對方就能夠談論他喜歡的事情，因為你對這種相似性很容易接受。
