Nope this is not quite right Beryl. Its simply down to the masses conductivity.
Given the choice of two identical objects it would travel down the one with greatest conductivity.
If two people were struck, one fat and one lean and muscular, the lean and muscular person would conduct better as fat is more resistant and the electricity (or charge) would always want to take the easiest route
