When we're little, our mother is the center of our attention,
and we are the center of hers.
So our mother's characteristics leave an indelible impression,
and we are forever after attracted to people with her facial features, body type, personality, even sense of humor. If our mother was warm and giving,
as adults we tend to be attracted to people who are warm and giving.
If our mother was strong and even-tempered,
we are going to be attracted to a fair-minded strength in our mates.
The mother has an additional influence on her sons:
she not only gives them clues to what they will find attractive in a mate, but also affects how they feel about women in general. So if she is warm and nice, her sons are going to think that's the way women are. They will likely grow up warm and responsive lovers and also be cooperative around the house.
