Editing Matching hypothesis (section)

=== Garcia and Khersonsky (1996)===
Garcia and Khersonsky studied this effect and how others view matching and non-matching couples. Participants viewed photos of couples who matched or did not match in physical attractiveness and completed a questionnaire. The questionnaire included ratings of how satisfied the couples appear in their current relationship, their potential marital satisfaction, how likely is it that they will break up and how likely it is that they will be good parents. Results showed that the attractive couple was rated as currently more satisfied than the non-matching couple, where the male was more attractive than the female. Additionally, the unattractive male was rated as more satisfied (currently and marital) than the attractive female in the non-matching couple. The attractive woman was also rated as more satisfied (currently and marital) in the attractive couple.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Garcia & Khersonsky|title='They make a lovely couple': Perceptions of couple attractiveness.|journal=Journal of Social Behavior and Personality|year=1996|volume=11|issue=4|pages=667–682}}</ref>
