I think most of us are imprinted by our parents if whether we had a good or bad relationship with them.
Most (not all) women look for some qualities shared by their dad. Not always the best qualities and the same goes for men and their moms.
We associate the outer appearances sometimes with the personality traits. And in a good parent child relationship we look for someone who seems to be equally caring.
In bad relationships with parents we can sometimes look for the same type person hoping that the love we didn’t have as a child can be different as an adult.
Was your dad a husky man?
There is also the universal feeling that a husky men can be strong and kind. You probably have a feeling attached to the size of a man.
People make assumptions about size and build all the time by our daily acquaintances or how they are portrayed on tv.
Ex. On tv. Husky men are loving family men. Skinny men are weak, or smart or defenseless and or funny, built men are strong and protective, or violent, overweight men are either witty or bitter, good looking guys have the whole package, funny, sexual, strong, and loving and smart.
