Laws of Attraction

#243: 5 and 8

I was able to watch two documentaries on National Geographic on two different but related topics. I will not go over them because that is why you have your own cable subscriptions; but I'd like to lift out a line that intrigued me from those two. Both stated something to this effect: Between the ages of 5 and 8, we build an idea or a picture of the kind of person we are attracted to and we carry that through most of our lives - assessing potential partners through that lens. It's almost as if we've created our own laws of attraction in those ages we were losing our milk teeth or learning to ride bikes.

What do you think of this? If you look at that period in your life, are there indicators that you were already being shaped or influenced to like a particular type of person from the opposite sex?
