Oh. “We’re often attracted to people who’re similar to us as this helps create a sense of psychological safety,” she says. “When rich people date other rich people, it’s often because there’s something deep down that feels familiar. As the brain’s number one motivation is survival, we have a predisposition to seek out safety in any way we can.” So anyone outside of Chelsea, seemingly = terror.</p> <p>Obviously, there have been instances where the Made in Chelsea girls suddenly have gone seemingly off piste with their dating choices. Sophie Hermann and DJ Tom Zanetti actually seemed sweet together for their brief six months off the back of Celebs Go Dating. Millie Mackintosh even married Professor Green after he swooped into one episode of season three and picked her up on the Kings Road in a black Mercedes-AMG. But, ultimately, after two years, she went right back to her Chelsea on-and-off-again boyfriend: Hugo Taylor.</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-333740" src="http://staging.thetab.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/screenshot-2023-10-16-at-161152-1024x677.png" alt="Made in Chelsea sleeping together " width="1024" height="677" srcset="https://cdn.thetab.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/25140053/screenshot-2023-10-16-at-161152-1024x677.png 1024w, https://cdn.thetab.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/25140053/screenshot-2023-10-16-at-161152-300x198.png 300w, https://cdn.thetab.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/25140053/screenshot-2023-10-16-at-161152-768x507.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <p>“We’re more likely to have more in common with people who have had a similar upbringing to us, or similar experiences and opportunities,” explains Dr Gayle. “We’re more likely to share values and perhaps political opinions with people from similar backgrounds, and to have similar educational backgrounds and interests. This can again help create a sense of familiarity, safety, and ‘togetherness’.”</p> <p>Dr Ree Langham from <a href="https://impulsetherapy.com/">Impulse Therapy</a> explains this principle is called homophily: “This means individuals often naturally associate with others who understand their lifestyle and values, and can create a sense of belonging and familiarity,” she says. “People find it easier to connect.” Plus, there’s the odd consideration of lineage: “It can’t be denied that for some people it may also suggest a strategic relationship which can help to preserve their family status,” Dr Ree adds. “Or, even their own status amongst their circle.” Case closed x</p> <h2>Related stories recommended by this writer:</h2> <p>• <a
