    Default Oedipus/Electra complex: are you attracted to people that look like your mother/father

    "In Neo-Freudian psychology, the Electra complex, as proposed by Carl Gustav Jung, is a girl’s psychosexual competition with mother for possession of father. In the course of her psychosexual development, the complex is the girl’s phallic stage formation of a discrete sexual identity; a boy’s analogous experience is the Oedipus complex. The Electra complex occurs in the third — phallic stage (ages 3–6) — of five psychosexual development stages: (i) the Oral, (ii) the Anal, (iii) the Phallic, (iv) the Latent, and (v) the Genital — in which the source libido pleasure is in a different erogenous zone of the infant’s body."

    Are you attracted to people that look like your father (if girl) or mother (if guy)? Elaborate.

    For myself, up to a certain point (~18) I was fascinated with the stereotypical Nordic-type blonde (looking like my mother). Nowadays I find them repelling, romantically speaking. The thought of being with someone that looks like my mother perplexes me.

    I am quite fond of curly hair + dark eyes though (similiar to my father).

    Have you experienced something similar?

    Nope, not at all.

    My sister's husband doesn't look at all like my dad either.

    You'd be astounded how real this phenomenon is. I don't know why you people are so surprised.

    It's because the idea of fancying anyone who looks like a parent of yours is revolting.

    I'm not talking about actively fancying someone like that. I'm talking about a subtle, sort of subconscious attraction that is not easily realized, something that an "other" can notice from the outside, but that you yourself cannot (or is difficult to) notice.
