So how they have become a couple? What are the reasons behind the relational formation and development?
For me, i feel that the physical appearance as well as similarity play the dominance role in bonding these two people closer together. For most of all, the physical attractiveness that both parties explicit is the first aspect in the development of an association, such as, Robert Pattinson's handsome face as well as tall figure and Kristen Stewart sweet face as well as beauty. This causes them to form a relationship. Why?
This is because physical appearance have its biggest impact in the early stages of a relationship. Because of the external factor that they can see on each other and they find it is attractive, they will then step to start a relationship.
Besides physical appearance, similarity also plays the role in the construction of relationship.
Both of them have similar jobs which is an actress and an actor. This factor tend to bring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart together as it reduces the uncertainties about them. Furthermore, the social role that they took serves as a form of social validation since they have one thing in common- their job. They share a social activity together and because of the similiarity they have found on each other, they then form a relationship.
They are unlikely to start a relationship when they are complementaries- which means they are different from each other. In addition, i feel that they will not form relationships based on their perception of costs and rewards of the relationship- Exchange.
In conclusion even there are other factors that tend to form their relationship such as dissimilarities, exchange, proximity and others, i strongly feel that the physical appearance and the similarity that both parties have are the best factors that brought them to form a relationship. it is true that, many people form relationship based on the internal(emotional feelings) and external reasons. However, from the external factor, i strongly feel that physical appearance and similarities are the feature that bring a relationship together.
So what is your view about this matter?
