A friends blog states the word propinquity. Curiously, I looked it up and found the following definitions:
the tendency for people to work better or bond with those geographically near them
one of the main factors leading to interpersonal attraction. It refers to the physical or psychological proximity between people. For example, two people living in on the same floor of a building have a higher propinquity than those living on different floors.
It surprises me b/c I have noticed it before, but seem to be immuned.

Propinquity can mean physical proximity, a kinship between people, or a similarity in nature between things.
