Scientific studies have long suggested we tend to be attracted to people with faces similar to our own. Also, we are often drawn to people who look like our opposite-sex parent. Research suggests that women tend to choose men with the same hair and eye colour as their fathers, while men tend to prefer women with their mother’s colouring.

But what about the people we fancy and have no idea why?

We asked around the SHEmazing office, and this is a list of our most popular, unusual crushes.

Vladimir Putin

'I cannot really explain this one, and I'm kind of ashamed, but it is what it is. Maybe it's the whole World leader thing?' Rebecca, Deputy Editor of SHEmazing.

When Gerry Adams, the leader of Sinn Fein, takes to Twitter these days, people generally sit up and take notice mostly because you never know WHAT he might tweet.

In keeping with some of his more bizarre musings since he first signed up to the social media site in 2013, Gerry last night decided it would be a good idea to drop the N-word while getting his flake on to Django Unchained.

After tweeting "Watching Django Unchained – A Ballymurphy N****r!", the politician understandably came in for severe criticism from Twitter users who were aghast that a politician might use that word without realising the repercussions.

Having been slammed for the ill-advised posting, Gerry soon deleted the tweet, but insisted his post was misunderstood by the hundreds who complained.

 
Obviously concerned that his follow-up tweet hadn't done enough to appease the masses, he later released an official statement, saying: "My tweets about the film Django have triggered a lot of interest."

"Anyone who has seen the film, as I did last evening, and who is familiar with the plight of nationalists in the north until recently, would know that my tweets about the film and the use of the N-word were ironic and not intended to cause any offence whatsoever."

"The fact is that nationalists in the north, including those from Ballymurphy, were treated in much the same way as African Americans until we stood up for ourselves," he argued.

Shutting down accusations of racism, he continued: "Attempts to suggest that I am a racist are without credibility. I am opposed to racism and have been all my life."

"If anyone is genuinely offended by my use of the N-word they misunderstand or misrepresent the context in which it was used. For this reason I deleted the tweets," he concluded.

Oh Gerry, your pun-filled tweets will always go down better. Who remembers 'Good coffee in SF Bookshop in Parnell Sq. Tiochfaidh ar latte!!' ?!

Enda Kenny might have been swapping gifts and sprigs of shamrock with Barack Obama yesterday, but another well-known politician was left outside in the cold.

After receiving his "usual invitation" to attend the annual St Patricks Day event at the White House, Gerry Adams was subsequently denied entry at the door.

According to the Irish Times, Adams waited around for 90 minutes while security "examined his passport," but decided to leave when it became clear he wasn't getting in any time soon.

Taking to Twitter this afternoon, Adams posted a picture of the invitation he had received with the caption, "Just saying."

Although he often faces increased security checks when flying due to his connections with the Irish Republican movement, he has previously attended the White House's yearly event without issue.

Sinn Féin's deputy leader Mary Lou McDonald and the North’s deputy first minister Martin McGuinness were reportedly allowed to enter the event without issue.

In a statement today, Adams described his "grave disappointment" at not being permitted to enter the premises.

"I had received my usual invitation to attend the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in the White House and was pleased to accept.

"When I arrived the staff at the White House informed me that there was an issue of ‘security’.

"After two decades of travelling back and forth to the USA and countless meetings in the White House with successive US Presidents, this is an unacceptable development."

He also criticised the ongoing scrutiny he – and other Sinn Féin party members – face when travelling to the US.

"Some of our political representatives have been denied access to the USA while others, including myself, have to regularly go through additional searches and scrutiny when we travel to and from the USA."

Gerry Adams may be a controversial political figure but he can also be a pretty comical figure, especially when you consider how seriously strong his Twitter game is. 

Whether you think he is a satirical genius or quite simply bonkers, you can be sure to find a whole other world of pure entertainment with a simple scroll through his Twitter feed.

But now you don't even need to unlock your smartphones because you can own your own sliver of his comedic genius by purchasing his new book. 

No, seriously.

Featuring a front cover image to die for, My Little Book of Tweets will be well worth a flick through even if just out of pure curiosity and bewilderment. 

"His tweets range across the political and the personal, the serious and the humorous, often featuring rubber ducks and teddy bears!" reads the blurb. 

"This little book shows the lighter side of his personality and allows the reader some insight into his private life. The inevitable selfies are included showing that many years experience of politics have taught him not to take himself too seriously!"

While we were completely sceptical as to whether this was even real, according to the Sinn Féin website this gem of a book will be available the end of January and can be bought online for €8.99.

And what exactly does Gerry Adams even tweet about, you ask? Everything, apparently.
