Gender - Of course, gender is a combination of hormones, personal tastes and learning from others what it means to be our gender
Upbringing - Strict parents or not so much, childhood events that left a strong impression
Education - Learning to read, learning to write, learning history and literature, learning physical skills like swimming, learning social skills such as public speaking
Reading - Books can be a major source but these days, movies, tv and related media like YouTube can empower and broaden
Emerging drives - Suddenly, I find the opposite sex so very, very interesting
Diminishing drives - Candy isn't so magnetic as it was
Chronological age - Life these days begins at 40, and 50 and 65 and 80 and 90
Communications - A friend told me that, the news said…, an
eye-opening article in a magazine that comes to the house
Economy - We can't afford that, the price on that car and that rocket ship is too high for my tastes and my wallet
Body - I am not big nor heavy and that has affected my life and friendships and sports participation
