I mean, what makes up Chemistry, precisely? I'm thinking that most if it has to do with similar speech patterns - fast vs slow, thoughtful vs witty, superficial vs deep... I want an intellgent answer to this. I don't think it is physical attraction, because we don't "connect" with everyone who we find attractive. I don't think it is similar interests, or values. I've dated attractive guys with similar interests and values and we couldn't hold a conversation, each of us being good conversationalists in our own right.

And if it is an "instant" connection, what makes that happen? A rat study showed that if you put a bunch of rats together, the ones that end up mating are the ones who have the most different cell surface proteins. Nature's way of ensuring biodiversity. So maybe it just comes down to smell. Could the "instant" connection just be phermones?
