I have an IEI friend. One of her parents is an EII. She personally cannot stand the EII's need for cleanliness and constant focus upon the past. Further, the EII blames the IEI for mistakes she made in her teen years (she's late 20s now).

Interestingly, this IEI is romantically drawn to EII's in real life, online & even to EII celebrities. Most EII disregard her in return, eventually. My question is this, how much influence does a parent's type shape their kid's romantic choices in life?

Given options of ILE or LII, for example, she will choose EII. Seems she's addicted to the dysfunction. Opinions?
