Your reaction is the result of your genetic make-up. τΏτ
Of course the cited material did not mention partner preference or objective

Useless hypotheses:
consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing, cultural relativism
Everything that can happen has already happened, not just once,
but an infinite number of times, and will continue to do so forever.
