News flash: little girls grow up and date/marry boys that are just like their daddies:

Father's Day may have passed, but according to a new study published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, its spirit may live on in your husband, boyfriend or any other male with whom you may be romantically involved.

According to the study (reported on here by the San Francisco Chronicle), women are attracted not just to guys who act like their fathers but to those who look like them, too -- that is, if their relationships with their fathers are positive ones.

A group of psychologists in England and Poland asked 49 Polish women to look through a bunch of photographs of men and pick out the ones they found the most attractive. They also asked the women about their relationships with their fathers. Turns out that the women who reported getting along well with their fathers showed a preference for men who looked like their dads, whereas women with neutral or negative relationships with their fathers didn't show a preference one way or the other.

I am tempted to get really creeped out by this. On the other hand, I am ready to get out the Captain Obvious tag for "scientific research on stuff everyone already knows". Bah.
