People are compatible on many levels – Opposites sometimes attract and detract; sexual and appearance attraction; intellectual attractions. But one common defining aspect of a long-term relationship like marriage, is children and whether or not one or the other wants to be involved in raising them.

For most males and females, the urge to procreate…or “biological clock” is a ticking time bomb. As much as one can say “they never want children” publicly, the private and deep seeded need to have children is always there.

Noted psychologist Abraham Maslow proposed in his 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation:

"…that as humans meet ‘basic needs’, they seek to satisfy successively ‘higher needs’ that occupy a set hierarchy…”

One of the “higher needs” include family. Sex itself, is considered a basic need, but having more to do with the need to reproduce and “extend the bloodline” than the simple pleasure we all get from it.

Now, from someone who is not a psychologist but an average Joe, this all seems rather technical. But the scientific reasoning is sound according to research at the University of Chicago and University of California at Santa Barbara done in May of 2006.

"…Women are able to subconsciously pick up cues of interest in children in men’s faces and use those cues to determine if they are attracted to them for long-term relationships…"

And this stunner…it doesn’t really matter how attractive physically you are…
