Recently, studies on generation Z have revealed that there is an increase in the number of individuals who refuse to have relationships with people who do not share the same interests as them. The tendency to seek only the similar has been seen to grow from generation to generation and with Generation Z it is said to be reaching a peak that will bring significant social change.
The study carried out by the applications of connections, shows that this includes passions, desires, social thoughts, but also political ones. Even people who are involved in politics are considered more attractive.
"New York Times" has written an article where it reveals that the term "homophily" exists for all people who share the same interests and have common characteristics.
Born as a term in 1945 by sociologists Paul Lazarsfeld and Robert Merton, homophily - "love of similarity" explains the attraction of two people similar in interests and desires. According to the development that this explanation has received over the years, it is believed that people who share the same thoughts and behavior, at a point of coexistence, behave the same.
That being said, it is considered possible that questions about social topics or political leanings are discussed very early in getting to know a person you have a romantic interest in. Also, it is thought that soon a new option for political preferences will be added to online dating profiles.
