libidinal investment 

An attachment of strong, intense emotional energies to an issue, person, concept, etc., in such a way that one pays special attention to issues surrounding it and one reacts strongly to discussions and changes affecting it. Includes, but is not limited to, sexual and sublimated sexual attachments.

The term is psychoanalytic in origin and is widely used in cultural studies.
Right-wingers often have a strong libidinal investment in the idea of authority, so that they experience threats to authority almost as if they are threatened personally. This may be due to an Oedipal fixation in which their sense of personal identity fuses with that of the father, as threatening authority-figure, so as to enable the repression of castration-threat anxiety.

Investment Dating

When a guy is over 18 and can't get a girl his age so he goes after someone who is below 18 that is way out of his league but he smuthers her until she turns 18 then he marries her. Normally these guys have very little if any game, and there is at least a 5 year age difference.

Investment 

A girl who is ignored despite having underated hotness due to temporary problems such as being overweight, having braces, having acne, etc.
While others ignore her you flirt with her slightly off and on until the day comes when she becomes the hottie you expected her to be.
Greg: dude that girl got hot this summer.
Jon: yea my investment finally paid off.
