It implies basic human psychology. Straight people are attracted to those who remind them of their opposite-gendered parent because a) a child looks to his/her parents for guidance on how to live, and b) if your same-gendered chose someone who looks a certain way, that sends a subconscious message to the child's brain that those features are the pinnacle of that gender's looks, that that's what the pinnacle of attractiveness is in that gender. If your same-gendered parent mated with an opposite-gendered person with particular features, that tells your instinctual mind that those features are desirable.
It is crazy how Hannah's mom ends up in the end in the last arch.

I want to be that couple at that age.
I really appreciate the Zappa/Beefheart references in this comic. Lumpy Gravy…
