wired
The evidence suggests that we are genetically [wired] to consider certain characteristics more attractive than others. A woman’s face should be symmetrical with clear skin, a small chin and nose, a narrow jaw and slim eyebrows, but full, well-defined lips and cheeks, and large eyes.

Many experts say that sexual orientation and identification are a result of how the brain is innately wired. It seems that environment is not really a factor in the matter. It is a genetic predisposition.
