I personally did a lot of classification of my personal preferences when I was younger also.

When I saw a model that I felt an attraction to, I would study her features until I could say, "Her eyebrows" or "Her lips" were what I found attractive. After years of this, I knew what my ideal idol would look like.

Its funny, now that I am married happily, that my wife doesn't look anything like that idol. I value her love, companionship, loyalty, and other traits of behaviour, more that her appearance.

After a lot of pondering, I figured out that my ideal was an average of all the women I'd ever cared about (in any context), weighted by total emotion I'd felt for them.
