Freudian-like Reason for Twily to Like Flash Sentry

I have to quickly explain Freudian thought for those who don't get it

Freud had a crazy-ish theory (Oedipus) that women wanted to . . . marry their fathers and kill their mothers and men wanted the opposite with their parents   [He probably based this on a few random things such as kids telling their parents that they wanted to marry them when they were too young to understand about marriage, crazy people and the story of Oedipus.] While it's crazy.

 

Freud had one point; there is a tendency for some people to choose spouses who seem oddly similar to relatives of one type or another.  Parents may be especially modeled after, given this concept. 

 

In Equestria, siblings have similarly potent roles as parents in our world [sweetie Belle, Shining Armor, Scoot's wish for a big sis etc.,)

Given this statement, there are a lot of vaguely similar aspects between Flash Sentry and Shining Armor.  SPOILER WARNING FOR THE COMICS.  They are both guards.  When wooing Cadence Shining Armor sang her a rock song and wore a jacket (though his instrument was a keytaur).  Despite the good looks, (presumably?) both have nerdy cores.  I'm sure there is a lot more details that you could find.

These external connections between the two may be part of what attracts Twily to Flash, but if they are not much more than skin deep, she'll probably not be interested in him in the long term.

 

What do you think?  Am I crazy, can you see other similarities or am I pulling this out of somewhere?

I just chalked it up to Twilight being unprepared for a human teenager body. She was a unicorn changed to a human teenager, it takes longer than a few days to get use to a new physical body. Her attraction to Flash Sentry can be nothing more than that bombardment of hormones talking or just attraction that most teenagers go through.

Oh, sure, but why Brad Sentry?  Why not prep boy #1 (she saw him first) or anybody else?

Thus similarities [external] to SA.
