ELI5: How does the human mind develop what is attractive to them and what is not?

The other day i pointed out a really beautiful girl (in my opinion) to my friend. He replied "Yeah she's alright". This sparked a question in my thoughts on how people develop opinions on attractiveness.

There are shared opinions of beauty, like symmetrical faces and such, but one of the biggest influences on what somebody finds attractive is the environment they grew up in.

For example, say you had a very nice blonde teacher in elementary school and your closest family (mom, cousins, maybe even grandma) have blue eyes and have athletic bodies, chances are you're gonna be into swedish girls.

Of course it's not this literal, but you get the idea.
