What determines the objects of our lust?

(or our selection of a mate?)

Update:

Didja know that humans intitally imprint on behavior. Girls imprint on strong assertive behavior (Father image) and boys imprint on softer nurturing behavior (Mother image) This sometimes explains gays.

    We usually lust after what we "secretly place a great-value on."

    (called an emotional need)

    This can be generalized in someways. But, it can also vary from person to person.
