The producers of this video report:

"IMPORTANT ALTERNATION: the video says about digit ratios as high as 1.05 in case of men and 1.1 in case of women. In response to some suggestions we received, to facilitate your searches we decided to lower the benchmarks to 1.035 in case of men and 1.05 in case of women. But I still sustain my claim, that if you search long enough even in case of ratios as high as 1.05 and 1.1 you will find individuals who comply with the benchmarks, but never in one couple. I also think that it would be difficult to find any couple with digit ratios even higher than 1. This is only my guess though, my research in connection with Manning's study quoted on my website forces me to set it as high as 1.035 in case of men and 1.05 in case of women.

Facial features may be confusing. Sometimes it is difficult to grasp all nuances. Even distinguished academics commit mistakes, examples of misjudgments are given in my ebook. For those who are not fully convinced by face reading or have never paid attention to facial features the answer is the 2nd to 4th digit ratio method, which until today has always confirmed my theory!

2nd to 4th digit ratio is an acclaimed method of measuring prenatal testosterone. Prof. John T. Manning is considered to be the biggest expert in this field. His book Digit Ratio: A Pointer to Fertility, Behavior, and Health, John T. Manning, Rutgers University Press, 2002 provides an excellent review of the subject. There is plenty of information about it available on the Internet as well.

As in case of face reading the indispensable requirement for our research remains unchanged: a legitimate long-term relationship. So we have to rule out arranged marriages and subjects from small rural communities in developing countries, where there are little partners available, and where life conditions don't make it easy for singles. This gives a strong economic incentive to enter into a long-term relationship at all costs. In modern developed urban societies some people may also enter into long-term commitments to achieve financial security. Yet the amount of potential partners available enables them to pair up with a "matching" individual who also provides financial stability."

Hi Lynn,

The 'No Such Couple Project' has produced quite a few other videos, see:

It appears to be a project with an ebook involved (see the section 'About TNoSuchCoupleParadox's channel').
