There seems to be a new way to find that perfect match created all the time. There used to be a time when you would go for a night out with friends and see someone across the bar and then partake in some flirtatious conversation to get an idea if you click and are compatible, but this could be time consuming for the impatient ones among us. With the invention of the internet, the idea that you can meet someone from your own home changed this search and helped make things a little faster, but there is still some ground work of building up a profile and chatting to people, only to, perhaps in some cases, meet up and find out they are not who you were expecting at all…still not quite so quick and easy.

However, it seems that there is the potential of saving a lot of time and energy in the way we could find that perfect mate in the future with the help of science. A little bit of DNA is apparently all it takes. A home test is being developed to be able to tell you if you are compatible in terms of the person you are considering to be your mate is likely to cheat or be faithful and stick around for the long term. The test is only used for male testing at the moment. It works by profiling genes which controls neurotransmitters like oxytocin and vasopressin, which relates to commitment and fidelity. It seems that the reason people have given for cheating before may not be too far from the truth - it is in their DNA…it actually could be!
