I can't imagine how one wouldn't have preferences. Among my relatives, I find:
Mysterious uncle who collects "industry information" and other corporate intelligence for multinationals (who once disappeared for a few months and we later found out he was in prison in China)
A farmer
Parole officer in the rural south
A caterer
A cousin who IS the guy in your company's system's department
An assortment of fun-loving party-head southerners
Artist - but when she says she's been painting we never know if she means pictures or houses
Deeply religious church organist
Housewife in suburban southern CA devoted to crochetting and geneology
Insane alcoholic great-aunt who thinks she's Scarlett O'Hara
Drug-doing fuck-up
National figure in the hospice movement
Mormon convert who sits like a lump and makes his wife do everything for him
A civil war reenactor
Nuclear submarine engineer
Elementary school teacher
Cousin who races souped-up VW Sirocos
Housewife in New Jersey
Indie film production manager/producer (with an IMDB entry longer than my deal sheet)
How could I not have preferences?
