About This Quiz

It's so easy to guess your source of origin from the type of males that tingle your insides. The formative years of your life have everything to do with the many main squeezes you tend to go after. Allow our science to prove the accuracy of this love theory.

If you have a weakness for music men, you were most likely raised in a major suburb area, like Long Island, New York or Orange County, California. A desire to have a large family probably means you weren't raised in a big city. Why? When was the last time you saw a family of 12 anywhere, let alone in a major metropolitan fortress-like Philadelphia or Chicago? Do you want a man that works with his hands? You've seen many a cabinet-maker and home-builder in rural America. This theory makes a lot of sense — we are drawn to what we are familiar with.

For all you rebels out there, neither can you escape the strong romance preferences that were ingrained in you during your sprouting years. Seeing people who remind you of Dad, your brothers or your uncles triggers pleasant memories of security, and your brain releases endorphins that make you feel all lovey-dovey inside. Like we said, it's science!

Tap into our love technology, and we'll guess your hometown.
