Propinquity. Propinquity is the word of the day. First its fun to say and second I have found it to be an interesting topic. We have been discussing dating and marriage this week and thus discussing why people "choose" one another. The idea of propinquity basically means we date who we live near. Why is that? I mean there is the obvious reason of convenience. But also we opposite do not attract, similarities attract. We get along better with people who have the same socioeconomic background as we do, have the same ideas, culture and social class as you do. Though it may seem obvious, differences breed conflict.
So there you have it, propinquity. It really just needed to be said again. :) What do you think? Do opposites attract? Are we more likely to find happiness in a relationship with someone who is very similar to us?
