What Is Parental Imprinting?

Women's preferences will differ in terms of how choose they are based on what the woman's own mate value is. Parental imprinting is just you're using your own parents as a cue to what is probably likely to work. Women who like abusive guys almost certainly had abusive fathers and probably in a very similar way, generally speaking. Or it can play the opposite way. It can be a reaction against. Like if you have a terrible parent and you're pissed at them, a lot of times the human brain plays that out with women.
