Attraction
Description
Can sexual attraction be scientifically predicted? Do opposites really attract, or is it similarity that draws men and women together? In this program, biologists and psychologists organize 50 men and 50 women in a grand experiment: finding matches for an aggressive professional woman with a ticking biological clock and a milquetoast politics professor who constantly strikes out with women. To test the expert panel's core prediction-that mutual attraction is explained by physical similarity-the two principal subjects circulate through several rounds of challenging prospects, culminating in a massive, highly revealing speed date.
