Although dating websites might claim they can predict attraction between two people, and as much as we might want them to be right, a new study suggests that unravelling the mystery of real-life attraction cannot be done by a computer. 

Led by Samantha Joel from the University of Utah, the study set out to see if a computer could predict attraction before real-life meetings, including who we will desire online, who will be desirable to others online, and how much desire and attraction there will be between two specific people.
