Why him? Why her?

Helen Fisher is a biological anthropologist and has been a consultant for match.com and chemistry.com. Based on her access to the match.com database, she describes for basic personality styles and how compatible they tend to be with each other. For example, someone who craves adventure might have a successful relationship with someone who is happy to stay home and go to familiar places, but each of these types tends to be happier with the same type.

Why him Why her doesn't provide a magic answer to whom one should date or be in a relationship with, but it can provide a useful lens when thinking about long-term compatibility.
