Why do you like what you like?

     Some things are easy to understand.  I often feel too tall so I autoselect short women.  Almost everyone in my family has red or auburn hair and very fair skin.  I was the only one with brown hair until it turned gray.  I am attracted to girls with fair skin and red hair.  My weight has often been a problem so I gravitate toward super slim girls.  I am a clumsy dancer at best.  No, I am an awful dancer.  So I like women who move with the grace of a ballerina.  You could describe all of these preferences as compensating for what I was not.
     Some of my preferences make less sense.  Why do I seek out black girls to talk to at parties?  I have no special history with black girls.  I just head for black girls without thinking.  There is no special pattern to my dating history.  Why do I love the outdoors when my family doesn't even like going out in the backyard?  Why do I love certain movie stars and barely tolerate other equally good performers?  I love taking tests and surveys.  I don't know why.  I usually chose trying new restaurants over going to places I know for certain that I will enjoy.  Why do I love politics when my whole family is apathetic on the subject?
     All I am asking is that you ask yourself why you strongly prefer one thing over another.  Think about it.
