1. Similarity - We like people who are similar to us in terms of interests, attitudes or experiences. Differences strengthen a relationship when they are complementary, that is, when each partner's characteristics satisfy the other's needs.
2. Reciprocal attraction - We like people who like us, usually.
3. Gain-loss effect – We like people the most if we feel we have gained in their estimation of us (e.g., if they initially disliked us but now like us), and that we dislike people the most if we feel we have lost their favour.
Why are we Attracted to People?
4. Competence - We like to be around talented people, probably because we hope that their skills and abilities will rub off on us.
5. Disclosure - Revealing important information about yourself can help build liking. When people share private and personal information with you, it suggests they trust and respect you.
