Perceived similarity is:

A) irrelevant to attraction.
B) only relevant to how much females are attracted to males.
C) not as relevant to attraction as perceived distinctiveness.
D) one of the strongest determinants of attraction.

Perceived similarity is one of the strongest determinants of attraction. Studies have consistently shown that people tend to be attracted to those who are similar to them in various aspects such as attitudes, beliefs, interests, and values. This is because similarity is often associated with familiarity, comfort, and validation, and it can also reduce potential conflicts and improve communication. While perceived distinctiveness can also be a factor in attraction, it is not as consistently strong as perceived similarity. Additionally, perceived similarity is relevant to attraction across genders, not just limited to females being attracted to males.
